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.

Hundreds of illustrators and cartoonists put together tributes last week as news of the attacks in Paris broke Wednesday.

Twelve people, including the editor in chief and four cartoonists, died in the attack on the satirical publication's offices.
