Let it snow?
While I’m here enjoying the warm weather in California, most of the eastern U.S. has been buried under the snow for going on a week.
Our most-reprinted cartoon this week is a funny one by John Darkow, employing Punxsutawney Phil in an attempt to predict an early spring.
Editors also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon mixing the cold weather with the public’s growing distrust of ICE. I got a kick out of Dave Granlund’s cartoon, about how we all devolve into cavemen when a few flakes hit the ground.

Thank goodness we’re not going to invade Greenland. Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d have to write.
At Davos, President Trump took military action off the table in his quixotic quest to take Greenland from Denmark. After all his bluster, the agreement he came to with NATO is eerily similar to the one that’s been in place for decades.
John Darkow’s well-timed cartoon about Trump’s obsession with Greenland was our most-reprinted cartoon of the week. Jonathan Brown’s cartoon about Congress refusing to call out Trump’s wild island-threatening crusade was also popular among editors.
Expect to see this list dominated by winter storm cartoons next week, with tons of snow forecast to fall across a large chunk of the country. At least for a few days, Washington will seem like Greenland.

With tech companies squeezing A.I.-powered tools into every product they can, energy-hungry data centers are popping up across the country to provide the necessary processing power.
Our most popular cartoon this week, from the pen of John Cole, visualizes the problem with a giant yellow bird putting pressure on the power grid. Pat Bagley also drew a popular data center cartoon focused on a real farmer’s fear.
Otherwise, the focus continues to be on high prices. Can’t A.I. do something about that?

Last week the Christmas spiritinvaded the cartoon world, with Santa and his elves predictably dominating our most-popular toons this week.
Gary McCoy topped out list with his cartoon about a father asking Santa for a peaceful world, which any parent can relate to. Chris Weyant also drew a popular cartoon along similar lines.
There were some pokes and prods as well. Dave Granlund draw a funny cartoon featuring politicians running to an airplane leaving Washington, D.C., the only time you see them hurrying to do anything. And I enjoyed Randall Enos’ jab at the release of the Epstein Files, with two guys at the bar having a redacted conversation.

This week, critics pounced on Time magazine for naming the architects of artificial intelligence its person (people?) of the year.
Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, drawn by Dave Whamond, mocks the cover as something A.I. itself would come up with. Jeff Koterba also contributed to the anti-robot vibe with a funny cartoon about life with an A.I. chatbot.
Elsewhere on our top ten list, John Darkow drew a popular cartoon about Republicans not extending ObamaCare tax credits before leaving town and heading home for the holidays. Must be nice to have stable, inexpensive congressional healthcare watching over them.

Feeling festive yet?
It’s hard to escape the suffocating grasp of Christmas, which seems to show up earlier and earlier this year. No wonder editors flocked to download Pat Bagley’s funny cartoon about a Thanksgiving turkey getting hooked off the stage in favor of a surprised St. Nick.
As far as Christmas cartoons go, I laughed at Bob Englehart’s toon showing kids asking A.I. for presents and enjoyed Gary McCoy’s funny dig at cursing parents and relatives during the holidays. ‘Tis the season to be merry.

Thanksgiving is a good reminder how expensive everything remains at the grocery store. So much for Donald Trump’s promise to lower grocery prices “on Day One.”
Editors know their readers are feeling the pinch. That’s why Dave Whamond’s cartoon satirizing a famed Norman Rockwell painting (with a much smaller Thanksgiving spread) was among our most popular of the week. Trump lowered tariffs on a host of products, but as Chris Weyant points out in his widely-reprinted cartoon, don’t expect much to change until the 2028 election, which is a few years away.
One cartoon I laughed at wasn’t related to tariffs at all – it was Dave Granlund’s toon mocking Trump’s unsanctioned assault on the boat of an allege drug runner, but the only crew are the Skipper and Gilligan, too. Though I wonder how many readers under the age of 50 get the joke.

The government is reopened and Democrats are being mocked for caving. Looks like everything is back to normal in Washington.
Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week was John Darkow’s perfect shutdown metaphor, comparing Democrats trusting Republicans to extend Obamacare subsidies to Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. I think we all know how this will end.
Our cartoonists covered a lot of ground this week, with popular cartoons about Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, and even the northern lights. I personally liked Rick McKee’s cartoon about the old woman who lives in a shoe, a lucky recipient of one of Trump’s 50-year mortgages. I wonder if she’s still making payments.

As the government shutdown enters its sixth week, Republicans and Democrats don’t seem much closer to a solution both sides can agree on.
As Bob Englehart notes in his popular cartoon this week, we’re not listening to one another. The loudest, harshest voices dominate the discussion, with one side yelling at the other, as Gary McCoy depicted in his funny toon.
Hopefully the sweeping Election Night Democrats had this week loosens things up in Washington so a deal can get done before planes start falling from the sky. Our cartoonists don’t seem too optimistic about that.

Today is election day! Go Vote!
This is my new cartoon about the message that California is sending to Trump and Republicans with Proposition 50 (which is likely to pass).
Elections now are all about crazy gerrymandering, where elected officials get to choose their voters, instead of the other way around.
And the process leaves us all tied in a knot.
And we’re screwed.
The most reprinted cartoons of last week were dominated by Halloween – just like the week before. Editors love Halloween cartoons for all of October every year. (And the government shutdown is scary!)
It was easier to enjoy holidays like Halloween when the economy was strong, prices were affordable, and we weren’t worried about robots stealing our jobs.
Jeff Koterba brilliantly mined the malaise surrounding Halloween this year in our most-popular cartoon this week, which featured a trio of terrors – inflation, the government shutdown, and A.I.
Dave Whamond took a similar path in his funny Halloween cartoon that asks a simple question – why watch horror movies when you can just turn on the news?
