A Few, Brief Updates About Comics-Related Aspects Of Friday’s Terrorist Acts In Paris

* Time notes that Patrick Pelloux, an emergency room doctor and former writer for Charlie Hebdo, was a first responder to Friday's multiple acts of terrorist violence.

* here's an essay using political developments after the Charlie Hebdo murders to suggest a way to move forward that doesn't make the same mistakes. I disagree with some of the reading of the politics, just to be clear -- there was no period of silence on any aspect of Hebdo that I saw -- but I want to point out the idea in play of Hebdo as a mini-event preceding this larger one.

* here are English translations for the en francais parts of Joan Sfar's cartoon.

* CBR has more on the passing of Urban Comics intern Ariane Theiller, including initial reactions from US creators that work with the Dargaud division on French-language editions of their books.

* finally, we're starting to see round-ups of initial editorial cartoonist reaction.
