This is what the original Jyllands-Posten page looked like. Notice that there were only 12 cartoons.
In the wake of the deaths: the Jyllands-Posten cartoons
Prohibitions on the depiction of Islam's prophet Mohammed (PBUH) have not always been observed. The Mohammed Image Archive is a compendium of images that depict the 7th-century founder of the faith spanning all historical periods, cultures and genres.
[NB This site contains many beautiful historic artworks but also images which may offend.]
The entire controversy started when Danish author Kåre Bluitgen complained that he could not find an artist brave enought to illustrate his upcoming book about Mohammed. The newspaper Jyllands-Posten issued a call for submissions from any artists willing to take up the challenge.
In the ensuing brouhaha, the original book was almost forgotten; it has now been released, and does feature page after page of Mohammed depictions. This site features scans of several of the pages. One image, taken from the book (titled Koranen og profeten Muhammeds liv, or The Koran and the life of the prophet Mohammed), apparently shows Mohammed with his child-bride Aisha.

1. I have no idea 2. Yes, if the artist says so. (Or so I think)
