Top Ten Cartoons – New Green Deal

Last week, President Joe Biden announced he will pardon thousands of Americans federally convicted of marijuana possession. It didn’t take long for cartoonists to twist the acronym POTUS into fun riffs on pot and new green deals.

The upcoming midterm elections were also on the minds of cartoonists and editors last week. While cartoonists love the candidates and craziness that comes with national elections every couple of years, for most voters Nov. 8 can’t get here soon enough.

The Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

The good news? Home prices are dropping. Unfortunately, interest rates continue to climb as the Federal Reserve fights to slow down inflation.

Several of our most popular cartoons this week revolve around the high prices we’re all continuing to pay. Dave Whamond’s funny Monty Python riff on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was also popular with editors.

The number eight cartoon about the “Fall Equinox” is a correction of our number one cartoon from last week. Cartoonist Guy Parsons wrote the cartoon about the “Fall Solstice” and, of course, there is no such thing. A group of school children wrote to Guy about the error, and Guy made this corrected cartoon, which was also widely published. No adults complained about the “Fall Solstice” — just kids.

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

#1. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

 

#2. Dave Whamond, Cagle.com

 

#3. John Darkow, Columbia Missourian

#4. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

Top Ten Cartoons of September 16th, 2022!

While cartoonists have been covering the invasion since February, Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia last week drew new attention on a conflict that’s raged on for nearly seven months.

This week’s most reprinted cartoon was a funny poke at the debate over daylight saving time drawn by cartoonist Guy Parsons. Back in March, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023. But like everything else in Washington these days, nothing has happened since.

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

#1. Guy Parsons, Cagle.com

 

#2. Dave Whamond, Cagle.com

 

#3. Bruce Plante, Cagle.com

 

#4. Dave Granlund, Cagle.com

Top Ten Cartoons of the Past Week!

President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Philadelphia last week where he called out “MAGA Republicans” and claimed former President Donald Trump and his supporters are a threat to American democracy.

Naturally, our liberal cartoonists supported what Biden said during his speech, while our conservative cartoonists thought he was a hypocrite thanks to his tone and bluntness.

Editors liked cartoons on an interesting mix of topics this week, including Labor Day, space junk, and new British Prime Minister Liz Truss.

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

#1. John Darkow, Columbia Missourian

hmmm … We’re COVID Cheerleaders? Top Ten COVID Cartoons

Researchers like to categorize and count things. Most of the few scholarly studies of editorial cartoons involve making subjective judgements about cartoons to divide the cartoons into categories selected for the study.

I gave Political Science professor Dr. Jody Baumgartner full access to our archives to do a study on editorial cartoons about Coronavirus. Baumgartner and his colleague Dr. Hanna Kassab categorized and counted only CagleCartoons.com content, and their study has just been published; see it here.

The study asked if political cartoonists are “Critics” or “Cheerleaders.” The researchers studied only CagleCartoons that were about COVID during the time of the pandemic.

The conclusion of the study? Political cartoonists are “cheerleaders” for the establishment. We prefer to think of ourselves as critics.  Calling us “cheerleaders” sounds a bit rude.

Perhaps Baumgartner and Kassab are conservative and were looking for more cartoons bashing Dr. Fauci, resisting mask mandates, promoting conspiracy theories, and shilling Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, injected bleach and anti-vaxxer nonsense.

Here are the ten most reprinted pandemic cartoons since 2019. (Keep in mind that editors like for us to be cheerleaders for truth.) Congratulations to Jeff Koterba for taking four out of ten, and to Rick McKee and Dave Granlund for each having two on the Top Ten!

LIZ CHENEY LAMENT: TOP TEN CARTOONS

August is typically a slow news month, but between the FBI searching Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and the national shortage of teachers, there’s been plenty for cartoonists to draw about.

Trump’s Top Secret Boxes

Here is my cartoon about Trump with his collection of twelve boxes of Top Secret documents. When I finished this and sent it out to newspapers I counted the boxes again and noticed that I had drawn thirteen boxes.  So much for my attempt at accuracy.  It looks like I made Trump’s problem look worse than it really is.

Here are some of my favorite cartoons about Trump’s secret documents stash from the Cagle Cartoonists.

Back to School – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Kids are returning to school, and cartoonists sharpened their pencils this week on the many issues districts across the country face, whether it’s a shortage of teachers or out-of-control supply costs due to inflation.

There was also that FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo residence in Florida. While editors reprinted a number of our cartoons on the incident, just one cartoon featuring Trump made it onto our top ten list. Editors don’t like running Trump cartoons nearly as much as cartoonists love drawing them.

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

#1. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

#2. John Cole, Scranton Times-Tribune

 

#3. John Darkow, Columbia Missouran

 

#4. Dave Granlund, Cagle.com
