I was at the San Diego Comic Con all last week so I regret that I’m a little late with last week’s Top Ten –better late than never!
Last week was a busy week in the media world. Stephen Colbert was fired by CBS, Republicans defunded NPR and PBS, and the new Superman movie faced headwinds across the globe, which its director attributed to “anti-American sentiment around the world” due to Trump. (Notice that, as usual, there are no Trump cartoons in the Top Ten –editors just don’t want Trump cartoons, and these are the cartoons that editors reprinted the most.)
John Darkow’s cartoon about Superman being arrested by ICE was one of our most-reprinted cartoons of the week, as were two funny R.J. Matson cartoons on Colbert and Big Bird getting clipped. I also enjoyed Adam Zyglis’ cartoon on the public media cuts, which shows they were never about balancing the budget.
But our most-reprinted cartoon, drawn by Gary McCoy, was a riff on the cheating couple unfortunate to be hugging at the wrong time during a Coldplay concert. When in doubt, play the hits.
Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
#1. Gary McCoy
#2. John Darkow
#3. R.J. Matson
#4. R.J. Matson
#5. Dave Granlund
#6. Dave Whamond
#7. Adam Zyglis
#8. Pat Byrnes
#9. Gary McCoy
#10. Chris Weyant
