These responses to the Belgian terror attacks are perfect
This image posted to Belgian actress Marie Gillain’s official Instagram account is a perfect response to this morning’s terror attacks in Brussels.
And this cartoon, showing the Statue of Liberty holding a cone of fries.

Other responses to the attacks invoke the image of Manneken Pis, the famous statue of a pissing boy In Brussels.

Manneken also features in this cartoon, pissing all over an AK-47.

And of course Belgium’s most famous cartoon export, Tintin, also makes a sad appearance.

And the messages weren’t limited to the internet. Some came in chalk form.
