Student Loan Relief: Top Ten Cartoons

This week, the subject of college debt was pushed front and center by President Joe Biden, who announced he would be canceling $10,000 in federal student loans per borrower. Not surprisingly, several of our most reprinted cartoons tackled the subject – both in support and critical of the administration’s plan.

Our most reprinted cartoon this week was on the start of football season, a funny one involving death drawn by Rick McKee.

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

#1. Rick McKee, Cagle.com

 

#2. Monte Wolverton, Cagle.com

 

#3. John Darkow, Columbia Missourian

 

#4. 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.

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

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

 

#5. Dave Whamond, Cagle.com

 

#6. Rivers, Cagle.com

 

#7. John Darkow, Columbia Missouran

 

#8. Adam Zyglis, Buffalo News

Where are the Teachers? Top Ten of the Week

#1. Kevin Siers, Charlotte Observer

 

#2. Rivers, Cagle.com

Recession Rumblings – Top 10, August 4th, 2022

Are we in a recession or not? Experts have been debating what’s going on after figures released last week showed that while the U.S. economy shrank for the second straight quarter, job growth continues to be strong.

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

Top Ten Cartoons, July 30, 2022

Climate change was on the mind of cartoonists last week after much of the country was scorched by a record-breaking heat wave. Things have gotten so hot in Europe that Spain rolled out a new heat wave ranking system and the world’s first named heat wave – Zoe.

With consumers still impacted by rising prices, a few of our most reprinted cartoons this week centered on inflation and the possibility the U.S. could already be experiencing a recession. And more than two years after the start of the pandemic, COVID-19 is still showing up in cartoons.

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

#1

Chris Weyant took the #1 most reprinted spot!

#2

Jeff Koterba placed 2nd.  Here’s #2!

#3

Rick McKee  took third place!

#4

Pat Bagley nabbed 4th place.

#5

Dick Wright claims the five-spot.

#6

Rick McKee landed in sixth place.

#7

#8

Top Ten Cartoons, July 20, 2022

Depending on what poll you read, nearly two-thirds of the country doesn’t approve of the job Joe Biden is doing as president. Crippling inflation, more COVID variants and high gas prices are just some of the issues cartoonists linked to our 46th president and his administration this week.

Editors also liked cartoons about the new photos from the James Webb Space Telescope, which offer a celestial perspective to all the squabbling and bickering in Washington.

Congratulations to Kevin Siers for the #1 cartoon, and kudos to Dave Whamond and Jeff Koterba for nabbing two cartoons each in the Top Ten.

Top Ten Cartoons, July 7, 2022

Jeff Koterba took second place, also his first of two in the list!
