*For U.S. cartoonists, sorrow and anger over the massacre at Charlie Hebdo.

          This article is about U.S. cartoonists being angry about the massacre at Charlie Hebdo. To express their anger, and make people think, they have been drawing political cartoons that offend people. These threats have gotten them lots of hate and death threats. Ann Telanes is quoted saying "a really well-drawn cartoon should grab you quickly." She, and many other cartoonists, think that cartoons are one of the best way to get info out to the people, because it catches the readers attention.

          I think this is a really good article. I've never thought much about the people who make political cartoons and such, but I definitely will now. This shows their side, why they make these cartoons. I think cartoons do catch readers attentions, and I agree that its logical to use them to get to people to pay attention. and i'm glad they can use these drawings to express their anger about the massacre in Charlie Hebdo.
