Droning on: Top ten cartoons of the week and CHRISTMAS

For the past few weeks, mysterious drones flying over New Jersey have raised a lot of questions that remain largely unanswered by the government.

Authorities have said there’s nothing to worry about, and that a majority of the drone sightings are actually planes and passenger jets. Yet this week, the FAA temporarily banned drone flights over 20 locations in New Jersey “out of an abundance of caution.”

Not surprisingly, our cartoonists were fixated on the drone story, using the timing of Christmas to point their fingers at Santa. I liked Rick McKee’s cartoon, which features three wise men and a drone stand-in for the North Star.

McKee also had our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, but it didn’t have anything to do with drones – it shows Santa being confronted by a kid with an empty stocking. Just wait until Trump’s tariffs kick in.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

Thanksgiving Wrap-up – Top 10 Cartoons

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the least surprising development was the popularity of our turkey day cartoons.

Some cartoonists hate drawing holiday cartoons, but editors and readers clearly love them. Especially in a year where sweeping political change is heading towards Washington.

Rick McKee won the holiday, penning our three most popular cartoons of the week. Turns out lots of people were worried about politics ruining their feasts.

I also enjoyed Dave Granlund’s cartoon comparing the crowded conditions on the Mayflower with the congested roads of Thanksgiving today.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Rick McKee

#2. Rick McKee

#3. Rick McKee

#4. Dave Granlund

#5. Bill Day

#6. Randall Enos

Trump’s chaos: Top ten cartoons of the week

Remember the chaos of Donald Trump’s first four years in office? Well, it’s back with a vengeance thanks to some off-the-wall cabinet nominees, including former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was forced to withdraw from becoming Trump’s attorney general.

Chris Weyant hit the nail on the head with his popular cartoon about a family wanting to hibernate for the next four years. I also laughed at R.J. Matson’s cartoon, which features two honest politicians wondering how to get ahead in Trump’s Washington.

But out most-reprinted cartoon this week, which came from Randall Enos, had nothing to do with Trump or Washington, D.C.. Turns out we could all use a little distraction from politics.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Randall Enos

#2. Chris Weyant

#3. R.J. Matson

#4. Bob Englehart

#5. Bob Englehart

#6. John Darkow

Top Ten Cartoons – Trump Shake Up!

If this past week taught us anything, it’s that Donald Trump’s second term will be just as chaotic and exhausting as his first.

I thought Jeff Koterba’s popular cartoon this week captured the moment perfectly, as Americans doomscroll while Trump’s wild Cabinet picks come in. I also enjoyed R.J. Matson’s cartoon about a battered Democrat returning to Washington a lame duck.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Jeff Koterba

#2. R.J. Matson

#3. Daryl Cagle

#4. Daryl Cagle

#5. Daryl Cagle

Daryl’s Best ELECTION DAY Cartoons!

Here are my favorite Election Day cartoons!  Go out and VOTE!

This is a pleasant daydream.

Here’s my new cartoon appreciating poll workers. I debated with myself whether to make them a bronze statue or just people raising the flag Iwo Jima style.

This is an oldie, revised from the cover of one of my Best Political Cartoons of the Year books. I changed it to be an election day cartoon.

Here’s a recent cartoon that was a popular one. I can stretch my mind and imagine why some doofus would vote for Trump; but I can’t imagine why anyone is undecided.

On election day. I’m sure everyone will be nice.

Vote!

I do lots of old folks watching TV.

This one isgood for every election.

I drew this one about Republican efforts to disenfranchise black voters. It takes many forms.

That’s it! Now go out and VOTE!

High Gas Prices and a Hodgepodge of Top Ten Cartoons!

Can we get to Election Day without another assassination attempt targeting our presidential candidates?

A potential gunman outside Donald Trump’s Florida golf course was shot at and apprehended by authorities last weekend, calling into question how rigorous security is around the former president. Rick McKee compared Trump’s security detail to a slice of stinky cheese in a popular cartoon among editors this week.

While the second assassination attempt dominated our cartoons this week, our most-reprinted cartoon was Dave Granlund’s funny take on fuel prices going down. So much for electric cars.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Dave Granlund

#2. Pat Bagley

Rivers Retires

Our anonymous, conservative cartoonist, Rivers, has retired. Here’s the cartoon that Rivers drew to announce his retirement.

Rivers was controversial for for his far-right views, generating much of the angry email we receive, along with “cancel culture” demands that we drop him from our line up.

Rivers was more controversial among some other cartoonists for his choice to draw anonymously under a pen name, an unusual choice for an American cartoonist, but a choice that didn’t bother me, and didn’t seem to bother editors or readers (it was his right-wing views that bothered many readers and editors).

Rivers has at least one liberal fan – me! I’m leaving the door open for Rivers to draw occasional cartoons in the future, so don’t be surprised if a new and disturbing Rivers cartoon pops up.  Here are some of Rivers‘ recent cartoons.

Debate Debacle – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

That debate was… something.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off for the first time this week, and cartoonists seem to have focused their efforts on the former president’s false claim migrants are eating the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio. I liked Jeff Koterba’s cartoon, which melded Trump’s “They’re eating the dogs” line and JD Vance’s earlier attacks on “childless cat ladies.”

Our most popular cartoon following Tuesday debate was Dave Whamond’s funny riff of Trump saying he has a “concept of a plan” on health care.

Back in Washington, D.C., R.J. Matson reminded all of us about the impending government shutdown, which will happen on Oct. 1 if our politics don’t get their act together.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Dave Whamond

#2. Jeff Koterba
