Holiday Season – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

Last week the Christmas spiritinvaded the cartoon world, with Santa and his elves predictably dominating our most-popular toons this week.

Gary McCoy topped out list with his cartoon about a father asking Santa for a peaceful world, which any parent can relate to. Chris Weyant also drew a popular cartoon along similar lines.

There were some pokes and prods as well. Dave Granlund draw a funny cartoon featuring politicians running to an airplane leaving Washington, D.C., the only time you see them hurrying to do anything. And I enjoyed Randall Enos’ jab at the release of the Epstein Files, with two guys at the bar having a redacted conversation.

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

#1. Gary McCoy

#2. Jeff Koterba

A.I. Anxieties: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

This week, critics pounced on Time magazine for naming the architects of artificial intelligence its person (people?) of the year.

Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, drawn by Dave Whamond, mocks the cover as something A.I. itself would come up with. Jeff Koterba also contributed to the anti-robot vibe with a funny cartoon about life with an A.I. chatbot.

Elsewhere on our top ten list, John Darkow drew a popular cartoon about Republicans not extending ObamaCare tax credits before leaving town and heading home for the holidays. Must be nice to have stable, inexpensive congressional healthcare watching over them.

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

Christmas Rush: Top ten cartoons of the week

Feeling festive yet?

It’s hard to escape the suffocating grasp of Christmas, which seems to show up earlier and earlier this year. No wonder editors flocked to download Pat Bagley’s funny cartoon about a Thanksgiving turkey getting hooked off the stage in favor of a surprised St. Nick.

As far as Christmas cartoons go, I laughed at Bob Englehart’s toon showing kids asking A.I. for presents and enjoyed Gary McCoy’s funny dig at cursing parents and relatives during the holidays. ‘Tis the season to be merry.

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

#1. Pat Bagley

#2. Dave Granlund

#3. Bob Englehart

Thanksgiving tariffs: Top ten cartoons of the week

Thanksgiving is a good reminder how expensive everything remains at the grocery store. So much for Donald Trump’s promise to lower grocery prices “on Day One.”

Editors know their readers are feeling the pinch. That’s why Dave Whamond’s cartoon satirizing a famed Norman Rockwell painting (with a much smaller Thanksgiving spread) was among our most popular of the week. Trump lowered tariffs on a host of products, but as Chris Weyant points out in his widely-reprinted cartoon, don’t expect much to change until the 2028 election, which is a few years away.

One cartoon I laughed at wasn’t related to tariffs at all – it was Dave Granlund’s toon mocking Trump’s unsanctioned assault on the boat of an allege drug runner, but the only crew are the Skipper and Gilligan, too. Though I wonder how many readers under the age of 50 get the joke.

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

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Dave Whamond

Democrats cave: Top ten cartoons of the week

The government is reopened and Democrats are being mocked for caving. Looks like everything is back to normal in Washington.

Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week was John Darkow’s perfect shutdown metaphor, comparing Democrats trusting Republicans to extend Obamacare subsidies to Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. I think we all know how this will end.

Our cartoonists covered a lot of ground this week, with popular cartoons about Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, and even the northern lights. I personally liked Rick McKee’s cartoon about the old woman who lives in a shoe, a lucky recipient of one of Trump’s 50-year mortgages. I wonder if she’s still making payments.

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

#1. John Darkow

No One’s Listening: Top 10 Must-See Political Cartoons Exposing the Government Shutdown Chaos!

As the government shutdown enters its sixth week, Republicans and Democrats don’t seem much closer to a solution both sides can agree on.

As Bob Englehart notes in his popular cartoon this week, we’re not listening to one another. The loudest, harshest voices dominate the discussion, with one side yelling at the other, as Gary McCoy depicted in his funny toon.

Hopefully the sweeping Election Night Democrats had this week loosens things up in Washington so a deal can get done before planes start falling from the sky. Our cartoonists don’t seem too optimistic about that.

California’s Proposition 50 and Gerrymandering!

Today is election day!  Go Vote!

This is my new cartoon about the message that California is sending to Trump and Republicans with Proposition 50 (which is likely to pass).

Elections now are all about crazy gerrymandering, where elected officials get to choose their voters, instead of the other way around.

And the process leaves us all tied in a knot.

And we’re screwed.

After Halloween HORROR – Top Ten Cartoons

The most reprinted cartoons of last week were dominated by Halloween – just like the week before.  Editors love Halloween cartoons for all of October every year. (And the government shutdown is scary!)

It was easier to enjoy holidays like Halloween when the economy was strong, prices were affordable, and we weren’t worried about robots stealing our jobs.

Jeff Koterba brilliantly mined the malaise surrounding Halloween this year in our most-popular cartoon this week, which featured a trio of terrors – inflation, the government shutdown, and A.I.

Dave Whamond took a similar path in his funny Halloween cartoon that asks a simple question – why watch horror movies when you can just turn on the news?

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

#1. Jeff Koterba

#2. Dave Whamond

We have a great new Caglecast podcast about Trump’s impending attack on Venezuela and it’s crooked president, Nicolas Maduro – with two great cartoonists, Taylor Jones and Arcadio Esquivel.

Halloween hijinks: Top ten cartoons of the week

Even though we’re still a week away from Halloween, it’s never too early for cartoonists to flex their holiday-drawing muscles.

Our most-reprinted Halloween cartoon this week comes from Chris Weyant, who drew two pumpkins and the impact reading too many headlines can have. I laughed at Rick McKee’s cartoon, about a Frankenstein monster with chicken legs due to sky-high meat prices.

While many of our most popular cartoons this week were Halloween-related, the one reprinted most by editors was a funny take about the high-profile heist at the Louvre in Paris, France drawn by Gary McCoy.

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

#1. Gary McCoy

#2. Chris Weyant

I recently went to Italy for the World Humor Awards exhibition and awards. I made new friends and had a great time, so I made a podcast discussing all the winning cartoons with our new, Italian Cagle Cartoonist Marco de Angelis and ISCA (the caricaturist organization) president, Robin Schwartzman, who were jurors for the exhibition and great cartoonists.  Come look!

Crazy times: Top ten cartoons of the week

A government shutdown. Costs continuing to rise. Soldiers on the streets of American cities. Political enemies of the president targeted by his administration. Reporters forced out of the Pentagon.

Outside of the peace deal between Israel and Hamas, is there actually any good news out there?

Chris Weyant tapped into that sentiment with one of our most-reprinted cartoons of the week, which features a gameshow appropriately called “How much more of this can I take?” I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon, about Americans tuning out of the news and turning to Netflix instead.

Our most-reprinted cartoon was a wonderful John Darkow piece on the government shutdown, which is entering its third week with no end in sight. In his cartoon, Darkow wondered if we’ll all get a break on our taxes with the government at a standstill. I think you know the answer to that, which I guess is just more bad news.

Shutdown Drags On: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

The government shutdown grinds forward, with no end in sight and no deal on the horizon to bring together Republicans and Democrats. In other words, it’s a mess, which isn’t exactly new for Washington.

Gary McCoy’s shutdown cartoon, featuring a student complaining about schools not being closed, was our most-reprinted cartoon this week. Bruce Plante’s boxing-themed cartoon – with both Republicans and Democrats bruised and battered – was also popular among editors.

I laughed at Pat Byrnes’ funny cartoon about Republicans and Democrats finally finding something to agree on – the full release of the Epstein files. Now if they can only find something to agree on to reopen the government.

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

Charlie Kirk and civil discourse: Top ten cartoons of the week

Cartoons are still just coming in following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but the tragic death of the young pundit is clearly the focus of both readers and editors as the week ends.

Jeff Koterba’s cartoon showing the Statue of Liberty’s bloody torch of “civil discourse” is already one of our most-reprinted cartoons this week. R.J. Matson’s popular 9/11 cartoon highlighted the growing political divide that might have played a role in Kirk’s untimely death at the end of an assassin’s bullet.

Our most-reprinted cartoon wasn’t about a news topic at all – it was Rick McKee’s fun look at the return of football, which is as good a form of distraction as anything else these days… unless you’re a New York Jets fan.

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

#1. Rick McKee

#2. Dave Granlund
