The Chinese spy balloon shot down by the U.S. after floating across the country was the perfect metaphor for cartoonists. So it’s no surprise that balloon cartoons made up a majority of our most-reprinted toons this week.

Editors also reprinted a lot of cartoons about President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, where he went back and forth with disapproving Republicans in real time. It’s been a wild week.

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

#1. Dave Whamond

#2. Jeff Koterba

#3. John Darkow

#4. Guy Parsons

#5. Dave Whamond

We calculate our Top Ten weekly cartoons from Wednesday to Wednesday, so we missed most of the battle for the Speaker of the House – we’ll have to see if editors are interested in that next week; there were certainly a lot of cartoons about it!

The new year was fresh on the minds of cartoonists last Wednesday to Wednesday, but editors also jumped on cartoons about Southwest’s lingering issues, which led to thousands of flight cancelations and lots of angry travelers.

Editors also liked Dave Whamond’s cartoon about Netflix, and how the streaming giant lost a bit of its luster over the past year.

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

#1. Chris Weyant

 

#2. Bob Englehart

 

#3. Dave Whamond

 

#4. Dave Granlund

Top Ten Cartoons of the Year!

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.

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Chris Weyant

 

#3. Jeff Koterba

 

#4. Dave Granlund

 

#5. Rivers

 

#6. Dave Granlund

 

#7. Rivers

 

#8. Dave Granlund

 

#9. Dave Whamond

 

#10. Jeff Koterba

It’s the most wonderful time of year, until you check out the price of gifts for Christmas.

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

#1. Gary McCoy, Cagle.com
