Cartoonists from around the world have been drawing tributes to their French colleagues, and on Sunday night The Simpsons ended its episode with a show of respect for the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

The closing scene of the episode showed Maggie, set against the colors of the French tricolor, 'Je Suis Charlie' flag in hand. 
The tribute is reminiscent of Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix and the poster for the musical version of Les Misérables.
