"Below are cartoons drawn over the past several decades by Cabu, one of the most emblematic cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo (if not the most).
"Cabu was murdered along with his colleagues this past week.
"He was 75 years old.
"Although no media outlet in the US will show you these images, they can all be found online with a simple Google search."
"This cartoon by Cabu was published in 1979 in the antiwar journal of the Pacifist Union.
"While this specific image might not have been published in Charlie Hebdo (I don't have access to their archives), it strikingly conveys Cabu's lifelong antiwar and anticolonialist politics, which always fit right in at Charlie Hebdo (and were shared by the majority of the journalists and cartoonists there).
"The caption reads: 'France doesn't have oil, but she has an army!'"
Blood for oil?
Charlie knows.
The Charlie Hebdo cartoons no one is showing you.
