Luz Charlie Hebdo:Only cartoonist to survive massacre at Charlie Hebdo is leaving the magazine

Luz Charlie Hebdo:Only sketch artist to survive slaughter at Charlie Hebdo is leaving the magazine, The main Charlie Hebdo illustrator to survive the slaughter of the magazine's staff is leaving the production, he says.

Renald Luzier was running late on the January day when two shooters burst into the sarcastic magazine's workplaces and killed the other five illustrators who worked for Charlie Hebdo.

Luzier then drew the French sarcastic magazine's first title page picture after the dangerous Islamist dread assault, demonstrating the Prophet Mohammed sobbing and saying "All is excused."

The cartoon prophet held a sign saying "Je suis Charlie," the motto of the individuals who supported the magazine after the killings.

Luzier, who draws under the pseudonym Luz, said in a meeting with French daily paper Liberation that keeping on living up to expectations at Charlie Hebdo had turn out to be "an excessive amount to bear.""There was scarcely anybody departed to draw," he said in the meeting distributed on the daily paper's site late Monday. "I discovered myself doing three front pages out of four."

At the point when the first issue after the killings turned out, Luzier said he felt a feeling of "purge" subsequent to drawing the toon. Yet, a month ago, he said he would no more draw the prophet, clarifying that he "became weary of him."

Charlie Hebdo had a past filled with delineating and parodying Mohammed - unthinkable to some Muslims - and the shooters who completed the assault on the magazine were thought to be roused by those spoofs.

Luzier, 43, advised Liberation that the choice to leave was "extremely individual" and that he needed "to revamp myself, to recapture control of my life."

"Completing every release is torment in light of the fact that the others are no more. Spending restless evenings summoning the dead, pondering what Charb, Cabu, Honore, (and) Tignous would have done is depleting," he said, alluding to some of his killed associates.
