      1. How did everybody suddenly become an expert on French visual satire?

      2, Not to brag but in 2013 I wrote a biography of @FrancoiseMouly that tangentially discusses Charlie Hebdo: http://www.amazon.com/Love-Art-Fran%C3%A7oise-Adventures-Spiegelman/dp/1552452786 …

      3. Prior to the killings earlier this year, maybe 1 person out of every 1,000 in North America had any inkling about Charlie Hebdo.

      4. The two North Americans I know who had the best knowledge of Hebdo prior to the attacks are @FrancoiseMouly & @artgoldhammer

      5. As it happens, although they come down on slightly different sides, Francoise & Art also have the most nuanced take on Hebdo.

      6.My own take on all this is very close to Francoise's, as articulated here:http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2015/05/05/charlie-hebdos-pen-award-top-cartoonists-endorse-saluting-magazines-courage/ …

      7. As Francoise says, Charlie Hebdo is hugely important historically (as outgrowth of 1968) even if much of the satire is unfunny & queasy

      8. On the other side, @artgoldhammer has a smart, deeply informed critique of Hebdo-style satire:http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/5/pen-america-charlie-hebdo-and-the-virtue-of-self-restraint.html …

          9. I don't agree with Art's conclusions but he's worth reading (as always) because he actually, you know, knows what he's talking about

          10. The point I'm making is a simple one: this is a fairly complicated issue so it's worth going to informed sources, not instant experts.
