Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
The war in Iran has been raging for nearly a week, enough time for the nation’s top cartoonists to weigh in on America’s latest conflict in the Middle East.
Our most-reprinted cartoon about the war this week comes from Gary McCoy and features a relatable father worrying about his son’s future as missiles fly.
Other popular cartoons touched on some of the many ramifications of the war at home – the skyrocketing price of gas, the lack of a clear reason why we had to launch an attack now, and the weird pseudo-gambling prediction markets letting people bet on life and death.

Hey folks! Ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest on his 66th birthday for suspected misconduct in public office tied to leaking trade docs to Jeffrey Epstein has cartoonists going wild with savage digs at his denials while the monarchy reels.

Our most-popular cartoon of the week was Jonathan Brown’s obituary cartoon about the reverend Jesse Jackson, which skipped the pearly gates in favor of a more timely message from Jackson that hits hard in Trump’s America.
A.I. cartoons were again popular this week, the rare topic where everyone seems to agree these days. I laughed at Dave Whamond’s cartoon about a robot impersonating a human online, something I bet we’ll be reading about soon… probably in a story written by a computer.

Attorney General Pam Bondi‘s fiery House Judiciary testimony on the Epstein files redactions has cartoonists unleashing hell — chained files, “pedophile protection” locks, poodle-on-a-leash digs, and tone-deaf Dow 50,000 boasts while victims watched.

At times I wish we could go back to the days when extremists with the lowest intelligence and loudest voices didn’t have digital megaphones spreading their garbage.
Our most popular cartoon of the week by far, drawn John Darkow, touches on that thought. Darkow turns to Winnie the Pooh and Piglet in a touching cartoon to subtly criticize all the venom and hatred dominating much of our culture.
Another popular cartoon, drawn by Dave Whamond, put a spotlight on wealthy tech overlords squeezing all the “ordinary-aires” who can’t afford groceries. Editors also seemed to like a number of cartoons about how one of those billionaires, Jeff Bezos, unceremoniously gutted the staff of the Washington Post.
Democracy does die in the darkness after all.

While I’m here enjoying the warm weather in California, most of the eastern U.S. has been buried under the snow for going on a week.
Our most-reprinted cartoon this week is a funny one by John Darkow, employing Punxsutawney Phil in an attempt to predict an early spring.
Editors also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon mixing the cold weather with the public’s growing distrust of ICE. I got a kick out of Dave Granlund’s cartoon, about how we all devolve into cavemen when a few flakes hit the ground.
