Debate Debacle – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

That debate was… something.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off for the first time this week, and cartoonists seem to have focused their efforts on the former president’s false claim migrants are eating the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio. I liked Jeff Koterba’s cartoon, which melded Trump’s “They’re eating the dogs” line and JD Vance’s earlier attacks on “childless cat ladies.”

Our most popular cartoon following Tuesday debate was Dave Whamond’s funny riff of Trump saying he has a “concept of a plan” on health care.

Back in Washington, D.C., R.J. Matson reminded all of us about the impending government shutdown, which will happen on Oct. 1 if our politics don’t get their act together.

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

#1. Dave Whamond

#2. Jeff Koterba

The episode of the Caglecast is a good one!  Don’t miss it!  A new one is “in the can” and coming very soon.

Top Ten Cartoons! Football Widows and Battleground States!

Ads, ads, and more ads.

If you are unlucky enough to live in a battleground state, you’ve probably been inundated with an endless stream of campaign commercials.

Top Ten Cartoons! The election, old hippies, and back to school!

It’s been a whirlwind month in the world of politics, capped off by the Democratic National Convention and Kamala Harris officially accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

One of our most-reprinted cartoons this week was a celebration of Joe Biden by Chris Weyant, who gained newfound popularity among Democrats after dropping out of the race. It sure seems like Donald Trump is regretting his decision to participate in an early debate, now that he has to face Harris.

Despite everything going on politically, our most popular cartoon this week was Dave Granlund’s celebration of Woodstock’s 55th anniversary, the legendary music festival at Yasgur’s Farm that took place on a rainy August weekend in 1969. Here’s to peace and music.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

#2. Chris Weyant

Stuck in space: Top ten cartoons of the week

The U.S. will have a new president before two astronauts trapped in space will be able to return home.

Thanks to issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will be stuck on the International Space Station until at least February, when either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be living in the White House.

Chris Weyant mocked the situation in a cartoon popular with editors this week, comparing the astronauts’ wait to Joe Biden’s lame-duck status as commander in chief. I also enjoyed Dave Granlund’s comparison of the situation to Gilligan’s Island, the classic TV show where a “three hour tour” famously turned into a much longer stay on an uncharted desert island.

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

#1. John Darkow

ROBOT REVOLUTION: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

Afraid of robots taking over? If you’re phone habits are like most Americans, they already have, as Dave Whamond points out in his funny cartoon about artificial intelligence and our growing addiction to screens.

Sadly, a lot of the info we’re reading online is wrong. Frank Hansen mocked Google for its error-filled, A.I.-powered search results that told people to put glue on pizza and to eat rocks.

Fortunately, computers will be drawing all editorial cartoons in the near future, so the robots won’t have to worry about being mocked by us humans.

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

TEENS and SCREENS: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

Addicted to screens? You’re not alone – according to recent studies, upwards of half of all Americans who own a smartphone display addictive behavior.

But that’s also nothing new. As Dave Whamond points out in his popular cartoon this week, people were addicted to their television screens when phones were still devices attached to the wall.

Maybe that’s why so many people flocked to see the northern lights, supercharged this year by massive solar flares. As Jeff Koterba points out, it’s a rare moment where people from across the political spectrum can enjoy something together. Or maybe they’re just sick of their phones

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

PROTEST PROBLEMS: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

School protests have dominated the headlines this week, as demonstrators have clashed with police at universities across the country attempting to voice their opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza.

Two of our most popular cartoons this week were about the protests, both drawn by Chris Weyant.

There was also South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s bizarre story about shooting and killing her young dog, brazenly told as an example of making the tough decisions. Editors enjoyed Rick McKee’s funny cartoon about Noem, which featured Snoopy being fired upon while flying his doghouse.

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

SELL THE HOUSE: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

The cost of everything, from gas to groceries, remains stubbornly high. But nothing seems as outrageously expensive as trying to buy a new home.

Home prices skyrocketed during the COVID pandemic, and inflation fears forced interest rates to rise. Rivers tapped into the economic insecurity over the housing market with a funny cartoon featuring two mutts striking it big by selling their tiny doghouse.

Another carton editors liked this week was Adam Zyglis’ take on the death of O.J. Simpson, whose funeral procession was drawn to resemble Simpson’s infamous Ford Bronco police chase.

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

ECLIPSE TIME! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

On Monday, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, a momentary break from the bad news we’ve all be drowning in the past few months.

I like Pat Byrnes cartoon in particular, noting how nice a change it will be to know why we’re all plunged in darkness – at least those in the path of the eclipse, as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Unfortunately, the eclipse will only last a few hours. Too bad it couldn’t stick around through the election.

TRUMP TRIALS! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

It’s hard to satirize the news and Donald Trump with headlines like, “Ex-president selling bibles to help pay legal cost of porn star hush money trial.”

Chris Weyant has had a lot of success poking fun at Trump. He had our most reprinted cartoon this week, a funny look at the former president’s various trials through the lens of the NCAA tournament.

Speaking of madness, the Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson have just a one seat majority in the House, thanks to some recent retirements. As John Darkow suggests in his popular cartoon this week, now is definitely a good time for Congress to go on spring break.
