Charb

3.9/5 ( ratings)
Born

Died
0606 01 20152015
Pseudonym of Stéphane Charbonnier

Charb worked for many newspapers, Charlie Hebdo – which he edited from 2009 until his death in 2015 – L'Écho des savanes, Télérama, Fluide glacial and L'Humanité. His cartoons, which often feature Maurice et Patapon the anti-capitalist cat and dog, are caustic and irreverent. He also used to draw the character of Marcel Keuf, le flic in Fluide Glacial.

His rubric in the weekly Charlie Hebdo was titled Charb n'aime pas les gens .

He used to deliver a monthly chronic titled La fatwa de l'Ayatollah Charb in the Fluide Glacial magazine. In 2007 and 2008, he also took part in the talk show T'empêches tout le monde de dormir hosted by Marc-Olivier Fogiel on M6 as a set cartoonist.

He was a long time supporter of the French Communist Party and the Left Front.

On 2 November 2011, Charlie Hebdo was firebombed right before its 3 November issue was due; the issue was called Sharia Hebdo and satirically featured the Prophet of Islam Muhammad as guest-editor. Charb and two co-workers at Charlie Hebdo subsequently received police protection.

In September 2012, a man was arrested in La Rochelle for allegedly having called for beheading of Charb at a Jihadist website.

Charb was placed on Al-Qaeda's most-wanted list in 2013 after editing an edition of Charlie Hebdo that satirised the prophet Muhammad.

Charb was killed, along with nine of his colleagues, in the Charlie Hebdo shooting in January 2015.
