Impeachment Insanity – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date September 23, 2023

Congress is back in session, and Republicans are focusing their efforts on an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, despite the last of evidence linking him to the business dealings of his son, Hunter.

Complicating matters is the need for Congress to pass a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown, which could happen as soon as the end of next week. It all may be bad for the country, but at least it’s allowing cartoonists to create some funny and pointed work.

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

#1. Dave Whamond

Post date September 16, 2023

It’s the middle of September, or as it’s become known across the U.S. – pumpkin spice season.

That’s when everything from coffee to Oreos to scented candles roll out pumpkin spice-flavored versions of their favorite products. At the top of the list is the Pumpkin Spice Latte, which turns 20 this year after being introduced by Starbucks in 2003.

Rick McKee’s cartoon about our obsession with all thinks pumpkin was easily our most reprinted cartoon this week. Here are the rest of our top ten reprinted cartoons of the week:

Labor Day and Football – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date September 4, 2023

After what felt like a fast-moving summer, Labor Day is finally here. Considering how much editors love holiday cartoons, it’s not surprising Dave Granlund’s timely cartoon mashing the holiday with all the crazy weather we’ve experienced the past few months was easily our most-reprinted cartoon this week.

Labor Day also means the return of college football and the NFL, so a couple of pigskin cartoons were widely reprinted this week.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

Back to School Top Ten Cartoons!

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date August 27, 2023

Is it that time of year already?

Back to school cartoons were popular with editors this week. I chuckled at Bruce Plante’s cartoon juxtaposing a frowning kid with a smiling parent, a sentiment I’m sure many families relate to after spending the entire summer with their children.

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

Computer Drivers: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date August 20, 2023

With all the talk of automation and A.I., it’s funny to think that driverless cars have been zipping around San Francisco for the last few years.

Last week, the California Public Utilities Commission voted to give the two companies who run the automated cars permission to offer rides throughout San Francisco anytime during the day.

That doesn’t mean the technology is perfect. Just this week, an autonomous vehicles drove into wet cement at a city paving project, making Dave Whamond’s cartoon about driverless cars and traffic lights oddly prophetic.

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

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date August 13, 2023

The first Republican presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle is later this month, and not a day goes by without the release of a new poll. Donald Trump has a wide lead over his fellow Republicans, Ron DeSantis continues to shed support, Mike Pence… well, the less said about his poll numbers, the better.

Bob Englehart had our most popular cartoon this week, a funny jab at the omnipresence of polling data as we crawl towards the election. It’s only going to get worse from here. –And WOW– Dave Whamond, Jeff Koterba and John Darkow each have THREE cartoons in the Top Ten, I can’t remember it ever happening that the Top Ten has only four cartoonists!

Here they are –the ones that newspaper editors liked best:

#1. Bob Englehart

Here are some more of Rivers’ Ukraine cartoons that we show in the CagleCast .

We had a real mix of topics this week among our most popular cartoons, topped with Rick McKee’s funny swing at all the octogenarians in charge of our government.

There was also a nice mix of alien cartoons, thanks to a UFO hearing in Washington last week featuring interstellar claims from former military officials. Maybe we should just put the extra terrestrials in charge.

#1. Rick McKee

#2. Pat Bagley

#3. Adam Zyglis

Angry A.I. Celebrities!

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date July 29, 2023

We have a great new Caglecast (video podcast) with our brilliant CagleCartoonist, Rick McKee, who created a bunch of angry celebrities with Artificial Intelligence. Take a look! It is funny.

And it is disturbing, because A.I. is generating stuff that is good, and it threatens witty, talented people in fields from editorial cartooning to the writers who are on strike in Hollywood.

Just for now, it makes me laugh to see people who we have never seen get angry, getting very angry. Here are some examples. And watch the video where we discuss all things A..I. with Rick, and later with Rivers and Andy Singer.

Abraham Lincoln usually has no expression at all.

And Mr. Rogers –it would take a lot to make him angry.

We never saw Stan Lee angry, but maybe we weren’t looking hard enough.

Lots of folks were mad at Jimmy Carter, but we never saw him get mad back at us –even when we got a ticket for driving over 55 on the freeway.

The Top Ten Week I Missed! So Hot!

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date July 28, 2023

Here’s the Top Ten of the week that I was away at the San Diego Comic Con.

It’s always hot in the summer, but this year nature has taken things up a notch. Cities across the country are breaking their own heat records. Not surprisingly, a good amount of our most-reprinted cartoons this week focused on the weather, and when we might get some relief from his latest heat wave.

#2. John Darkow
