Happy New Year! Here are our Top Ten most reprinted cartoons of the year. All of these cartoons were reprinted in over 200 newspapers, and they give us an insight into what editors want most as they continue to shy away from cartoons that depict partisan politics that readers might disagree with –there is nothing to disagree with here; no donkeys and elephants, no congress, no Supreme Court, nothing on Russia’s war on Ukraine, nothing about international issues at all.
Also, it is noteworthy that some cartoonists excel in giving editors what they want: Congratulations to Chris Weyant who has the #1 and #2 cartoon; Dave Granlund has three cartoons on the list; Jeff Koterba has two and our anonymous cartoonist, Rivers, also has two on the list. This is interesting because these cartoonists also draw many hard hitting cartoons that take strong positions that readers could disagree with. For most cartoonists, who want to bludgeon readers with their strong opinions, the editors’ choices are frustrating – that said, these are all great cartoons.
