Tariff turmoil: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump’s certainly left his mark on the global economy, with his global tariffs continuing to wreak havoc on markets across the world. Here in the U.S., Wall Street has become something of a rollercoaster ride, jumping and falling on every Truth Social post from the president

The interest in everything tariffs was evident this week, as nearly all of our most-reprinted cartoons were about Trump’s tax hike on imported goods. Our most popular cartoon, drawn by Ed Wexler, focused on the poor penguins in Antarctica unexpectedly hit by Trump’s tariffs.

Dave Whamond also drew a pair of popular tariff cartoons – a funny one featuring a keyboard warrior turned tax expert, and another mocking our dwindling 401(k)s. If you haven’t logged into your retirement account lately, don’t start now. I’d wait for all of Trump’s “winning” to kick in.

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

#1. Ed Wexler

#2. Dave Whamond

#4. Dave Granlund

#5. Harley Schwadron

#6. John Darkow

Education cuts: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump didn’t hide the fact he wanted to shutter the Department of Education while on the campaign trail. Now that he’s president, he’s trying to follow through, though he’ll ultimately need the help of Congress to kill the agency for good.

In the meanwhile, the Education Department announced it was slicing its workforce in half, and cuts could impact everything from student loans to Pell grants to programs like the Rural Education Achievement Program, which helps fun low-income schools in rural areas.

John Darkow’s funny cartoon about an angry kid who thinks school has been canceled because the Education Department is being closed was our most-reprinted cartoon of the week. I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon, which used a March Madness bracket to predict with state would be the first to get rid of education entirely.

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

#1. John Darkow

DOGE CUTS: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

IRS agents. VA workers. Park rangers. Air traffic controllers. Social Security administrators. No one employed by the federal government appears safe with Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency waiving a chainsaw across Washington.

Our top two most-reprinted cartoons of the week come from Chris Weyant, and both mock Musk’s blunt and mistake-prone process of trimming the size of the federal workforce. I also enjoyed Jeff Koterba’s cartoon about astronauts returning home after being stuck on the International Space Station, only to find a “Planet of the Apes” scenario playing out in the U.S.

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

Tariff Trouble: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Donald Trump’s obsession with tariffs is causing a melt down on Wall Street, where stocks are plummeting at the economic chaos being caused by his administration.

Several of our most popular cartoons this week were on Trump’s on-and-off approach to tariffs, which is leaving everyone dazed and confused. Jeff Korterba drew a funny cartoon about an Easter bunny already reeling from high egg prices getting hit with tariffs from Trump.

Speaking of eggs, Chris Weyant’s cartoon about a pot of gold being less valuable than a carton of eggs was easily our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, and for good reason. Trump ran for president promising to bring costs down, but the average price of a dozen eggs in the U.S. is up to nearly $6.

I’d suggest pouring yourself a glass of wine, but apparently Trump is going to tariff that, too. The only think left to do is laugh at the absurdity by checking out our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Jeff Koterba

Doomscrolling: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Have you heard the phrase doomscrolling? That’s when folks mindlessly consume negative news on their phone without lifting a finger to do anything about it.

Looks like it’s happening a lot during the Trump administration. Dave Whamond’s call for somebody, anybody to stand up and fight – including Democrats in Washington – was easily our most-reprinted cartoon of the week.

A big item in the news are Trump’s on again, off again tariffs on goods coming in from Canada and Mexico. Right now, they’re paused until next month, which led to a funny cartoon by Bob Englehart featuring a kid and his lemonade stand.

For now, don’t stop scrolling. Instead, check out our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week! DOGE, Musk, Inflation, Taxes and More!

The U.S. government is undergoing mass layoffs that threaten many sectors previously taken for granted by taxpayers, including air safety, disease prevention, veteran healthcare, and even processing tax returns.

Our most-reported cartoon of the week comes from Dave Whamond, and features a scary but funny joke about a passenger paying an extra fee to guarantee a safe landing.

Editor’s also loved John Darkow’s cartoon about letting Elon Musk process everyone’s tax return, while Jeff Koterba focused his pen on Uncle Sam waiting in the unemployment line.

Top Ten Cartoons of the WEEK!

This week in Washington, one of the big news stories was a fight between Donald Trump and the Associated Press over whether it’s called the Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of America.

Our most popular cartoon of the week was drawn by Bob Englehart, and features a GPS overwhelmed by the Gulf of American and all the other new names Trump is throwing out there.

I contributed by drawing a cartoon about a depressed student being forced to write “Gulf of America” over and over again on the chalkboard. On some level, it feels like most of us are being punished.

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

Gulf of Whatever: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Editors love holiday cartoons, so it’s no surprise a number of clever Valentine’s Day cartoons topped our most-reprinted list this week.

Dave Whamond went with the candy heart approach, filling them with phrases that sum up the current environment in Washington. Bob Englehart went with the gift of a dozen eggs in his popular cartoon, a pricey extravagance these days anyone would take over a box of chocolates.

The Trump show: Top ten cartoons of the week

Welcome back to the Trump show!

It’s been a dizzying few days, with Trump issuing executive orders on everything from immigration to crypto. Some people are exhausted, as Dave Whamond illustrated in this week’s most-reprinted cartoon.

I also enjoyed Jeff Koterba’s cartoon, which features Trump on the edge of a cliff (with his trademark giant red tie) making a show of unity to Democrats. Jeff had a busy week – he drew four of our 10 most-reprinted cartoons on a number of topics, including TikTok and a ceasefire in Gaza, news that appeared to get lost in the wall-to-wall coverage of all things Trump. Get used to it.

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

Top Cartoons of the Week! Fire and Ice!

While Donald Trump’s inauguration is next week, America’s focus has been out west, as deadly fires continue to burn around Los Angeles.

At least 27 people have been killed by the fires, while thousands have been evacuated. Countless lives have been impacted by the destruction, which early estimates say could cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

One of our most-reprinted cartoons on the fire was Jeff Koterba’s touching tribute to the first responders, volunteers, and donors who are selflessly helping their fellow citizens in a moment of need. It’s hard to be critical in the middle of a disaster, but I did appreciate R.J. Matson’s cartoon about the blame game going on in Los Angeles, pegged around fire hydrants lacking water during the initial stages of the fire.

Top Ten of the Week: Fire and Ice!

In the lull between New Year’s and Trump’s inauguration, our most-reprinted cartoons of the week covered a hodgepodge of topics, everything from misinformation to annoying snow to exploding cybertrucks.

Our most popular cartoon this week came from the pen of Chris Weyant, who used recent winter weather to mock Congress over its long history of not living up to its promises.

Adam Zyglis had two cartoons in our top five. One was a look at the devolution of Facebook into X, while the other was a sympathetic look at the tragedy in New Orleans following a New Year’s Day attack.

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