  • Three months after the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo in 2015, young cartoonist Pierrick Juin joined the staff of the French satirical newspaper to, in his own words, help keep alive and safeguard the ‘stupid and mean’ spirit of a fearless publication he always loved. Now 33, his insightful, trenchant social, cultural, and political commentary appears regularly on French newsstands. For Marc Weitzmann’s article, Tablet invited Juin to comment on the deadly serious French intellectual debate on Islamism and separatism. From his perch on the frontlines of that debate, Juin picked up on the fact that French Muslims are pretty much the same as other French people, rather than the exoticized subjects of opposing political and intellectual arguments. ‘Wanna do it?’ the wife in the illustration asks. Juin did.
