Wow! Two Top Ten Catoons fo the Week in two days! Well … that’s because I was traveling and I’m back now and slowly catching up. This one is the latest Top Ten, for last week! Really! And I’ll get a new podcast up very soon – I promise!

Parents are normally ecstatic when it’s time for their children to shuffle back to school. But thanks to inflation, the price of just about everything remains high, including that cost of school supplies.

Jeff Koterba’s cartoon about budgeting for back-to-school was our most-reprinted cartoon of the week. Bob Englehart’s cartoon about the whole thing being a scam was also popular with editors.

As far as politics are concerned, I chuckled at Chris Weyant’s cartoon about the annoying back-and-forth over crowd sizes, while Dick Wright dinged Kamala Harris for copying Donald Trump’s plan to make tips tax free.

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

#1. Jeff Koterba

#2. Bob Englehart

#3. Randal Enos

#4. John Darkow

#5. Dick Wright

#6. Chris Weyant

#7. Jeff Koterba

#8. John Darkow

#9. Dick Wright

#10. Dave Granlund

Economic roller coaster: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date August 18, 2024

Wall Street gave everyone whiplash last week, with stocks tanking before bouncing back in a late-week comeback.

Dave Granlund’s “The sky is falling!” cartoon was popular among editors this week, and I loved the imagery of Chris Weyant’s Olympics-inspired toon about the brief stock market crash.

This week’s most-popular cartoon continued on a theme that began a few weeks ago, about people looking for any excuse to ignore the election. With astronauts stuck on the International Space Station until February, they won’t just miss the election – they won’t be back to Earth until after we inaugurate a new president.

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

#1. John Darkow

#2. Dave Granlund

#3. John Darkow

#4. Rick McKee

#5. Rivers

#6. Dick Wright

#7. Dave Whamond

#8. Chris Weyant

#9. Jeff Koterba

#10. Pat Bagley

Stuck in space: Top ten cartoons of the week

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date August 1, 2024

The U.S. will have a new president before two astronauts trapped in space will be able to return home.

Thanks to issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will be stuck on the International Space Station until at least February, when either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be living in the White House.

Chris Weyant mocked the situation in a cartoon popular with editors this week, comparing the astronauts’ wait to Joe Biden’s lame-duck status as commander in chief. I also enjoyed Dave Granlund’s comparison of the situation to Gilligan’s Island, the classic TV show where a “three hour tour” famously turned into a much longer stay on an uncharted desert island.

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

#1. John Darkow

DEBATE DREAD: Top Ten Cartoons

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 24, 2024

Our list of the most-reprinted cartoons was a real smorgasbord this week, with topics ranging from the increasing role of artificial intelligence to the collapse of Red Lobster. I particularly enjoyed Bob Englehart’s cartoon about the tough needle cartoonists need to thread these days to make it onto the opinion page.

Editors loved Chris Weyant’s cartoon about next month’s presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Though I don’t think CNN will be promoting it as “The Geezer vs. The Sleazer.”

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