Inflation and the economy also remain ripe topics for cartoonists, with costs continuing to skyrocket and the price of gas surpassing record levels.

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

#1

Pat Byrnes took the #1 most reprinted spot.

#2

John Darkow took second place.

#7

The news repeats itself and our old, school shooting cartoons are new again with every new tragedy. I dusted off some of the “evergreen” school shooting cartoons that never seem to go out of style.

Iwo Jima and Baby Formula

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 22, 2022

Here’s my new cartoon about the military delivering baby formula.

I think of the Iwo Jima memorial being a standard cliché for editorial cartoonists, and I looked back in my archive for some Iwo Jima oldies to put into this post, and I couldn’t find any –maybe I haven’t done one before. Crazy. It’s like an editorial cartoonist never drawing the Statue of Liberty.

So I started looking for some favorites among the CagleCartoonists, and I didn’t find as many as I expected –but I would some oldies I liked. This one is by Bill Schorr, who was drawing about the sexual assault scandal in the military, twelve years ago.

This oldie is by Dutch cartoonist, Hajo, with the Iwo Jima positioning a general symbol of America.

This one is by Dave Granlund, who doesn’t like President Trump, when Trump referred to US solders buried in France as “Losers” and “Suckers”.

This one is by cartoonist Gary McCoy, who doesn’t like President Obama.

Peter Kuper INterSECTs on May 25th

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 17, 2022

Our CagleCartoonist Peter Kuper, sends me this announcement of a cool event, in New York City and online, about his fantastic “insects in the library” exhibition “INterSECTS”. I wrote about this exhibition when it first started back in January. I encourage everyone to join Peter online. And enjoy Peter’s new masterpieces below.

Having spent a lifetime fascinated by flying, crawling creatures and nearly a year working inside the New York Public Library as a 2020-21 Cullman Fellow, I not only had the opportunity to explore my grant subject– the history of insects– but also the remarkable building itself.

I’m (insanely) working towards a 200+ page graphic novel INterSECTS that will take me years, but in the meantime had the great fortune to be given an exhibition in the library’s Stokes Gallery that includes excerpts of this project and my earlier graphic novel Ruins. I’ll also be bugging out with some experts on the subject, May 25th.”

The event will be streaming (and later on YouTube, so people don’t have to be in NYC to attend) Inspired by The New York Public Library’s current exhibition INterSECTS, curator and cartoonist Peter Kuper gathers his friends from the insect world to bring the exhibition to life for a special one-night-only with visual presentations and talks at the 42nd Street Library, May 25th 6:30-7:30 EST

Tickets/livestream details here: https://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2022/05/25/bugging-out-peter-kuper-and-friends-celebrate-intersects

Congratulations, Peter. Great fun.

See Peter’s editorial cartoon archive.

See Peter’s personal Web site with more samples from his exhibition.

See more art from Peter’s exhibition on my original blog post, from when Peter’s exhibition first started back in January.

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 5, 2022

Inflation remains a ripe topic for cartoonists, as prices of just about everything continue to rise across the country. It’s a good thing most cartoonists have gone digital, otherwise they’d be hit hard by the cost of paper and ink.

In other news, Russia’s war in Ukraine is still going on, with Putin and his forces unable to overwhelm the country’s defenses. And Sunday is Mother’s Day, in case you’d forgotten.

Roe vs. Wade and the SCOTUS Leak

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 3, 2022

A leaked, draft decision by the Supreme Court has shaken the nation as the justices prepare to overturn abortion rights, overturning fifty years of settled law. The court has acknowledged that the document is authentic and it seems unlikely that any of the majority, conservative justices will change their minds. The cartoons are starting to flood in – here are the first ones we received from the CagleCartoonists. I’ll update these as more come in.

Here is a collection of cartoons on high food prices by our own Randall Enos. I was a fan of his Chicken Gutz cartoons in the old National Lampoon when I was a kid. Now Randy can’t afford chicken.
