Philippe Paul-Louis Juste Honoré (French: [ɔnɔʁe]; 25 November 1941 – 7 January 2015), known by the pen-name Honoré, was a French cartoonist and a long-time staff member of Charlie Hebdo.

Honoré was among five cartoonists assassinated on 7 January 2015, during the shooting attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper office.

Biography

Born in Vichy, Honoré grew up in Pau. Honoré was a self-taught artist, getting published for the first time in 1957 in the regional newspaper Sud-Ouest.

He worked as an industrial designer for the Société Nationale des Gaz du Sud-Ouest, a natural gas supplier.

Honoré had a long career in newspaper and magazine cartoons, working with dozens of publications, including Sud-Ouest, Libération, Le Monde, Les Inrockuptibles, La Vie ouvrière, Charlie Mensuel, Le Matin, and Expressen. He illustrated many book covers, including the anniversary edition of Petit Larousse. His artwork was featured in a number of group exhibitions.

He became a staff cartoonist for Charlie Hebdo in 1992. With its thick line (somewhat reminiscent of woodcuts), and strong reliance on black-and-white, Honoré's style stood out from the other Charlie Hebdo cartoonists.

The last cartoon tweeted by Charlie Hebdo minutes before the attack was an illustration by Honoré of the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, offering formal New Year's wishes.

Honoré was critically wounded during the attack, and died in the hospital emergency room.
