Back to School Top Ten Cartoons!

Is it that time of year already?

Back to school cartoons were popular with editors this week. I chuckled at Bruce Plante’s cartoon juxtaposing a frowning kid with a smiling parent, a sentiment I’m sure many families relate to after spending the entire summer with their children.

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

Computer Drivers: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

With all the talk of automation and A.I., it’s funny to think that driverless cars have been zipping around San Francisco for the last few years.

Last week, the California Public Utilities Commission voted to give the two companies who run the automated cars permission to offer rides throughout San Francisco anytime during the day.

That doesn’t mean the technology is perfect. Just this week, an autonomous vehicles drove into wet cement at a city paving project, making Dave Whamond’s cartoon about driverless cars and traffic lights oddly prophetic.

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

#1. Dave Whamond

Polls! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

The first Republican presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle is later this month, and not a day goes by without the release of a new poll. Donald Trump has a wide lead over his fellow Republicans, Ron DeSantis continues to shed support, Mike Pence… well, the less said about his poll numbers, the better.

Bob Englehart had our most popular cartoon this week, a funny jab at the omnipresence of polling data as we crawl towards the election. It’s only going to get worse from here. –And WOW– Dave Whamond, Jeff Koterba and John Darkow each have THREE cartoons in the Top Ten, I can’t remember it ever happening that the Top Ten has only four cartoonists!

Here they are –the ones that newspaper editors liked best:

SUPPORT UKRAINE or NOT? Daryl Debates Rivers

We have a great new Caglecast (video podcast) cartoonist debate with me (Daryl) vs. Rivers, our anonymous, conservative cartoonist, about military aid to Ukraine. Take a look!  This is a good one!

There’s a growing number of conservatives opposed to military aid to Ukraine. This podcast is a little different. I’m interested to know if you like the debate format. Let me know – please leave a comment.

Here are some more of Rivers’ Ukraine cartoons that we show in the CagleCast.

See all of our Caglecast video podcasts on YouTube!

That Rivers cartoon is a little different on our Caglecast cover image, without the caption, huh?

Come watch this and all of our podcasts on YouTube.com/@CagleCast – we’d really appreciate it if you would subscribe and like on YouTube. You can see much more on our CagleCast.com site, including all the videos, transcripts and show notes.

We had a real mix of topics this week among our most popular cartoons, topped with Rick McKee’s funny swing at all the octogenarians in charge of our government.

There was also a nice mix of alien cartoons, thanks to a UFO hearing in Washington last week featuring interstellar claims from former military officials. Maybe we should just put the extra terrestrials in charge.

Angry A.I. Celebrities!

We have a great new Caglecast (video podcast) with our brilliant CagleCartoonist, Rick McKee, who created a bunch of angry celebrities with Artificial Intelligence. Take a look!  It is funny.

And it is disturbing, because A.I. is generating stuff that is good, and it threatens witty, talented people in fields from editorial cartooning to the writers who are on strike in Hollywood.

Just for now, it makes me laugh to see people who we have never seen get angry, getting very angry.  Here are some examples.  And watch the video where we discuss all things A..I. with Rick, and later with Rivers and Andy Singer.

Abraham Lincoln usually has no expression at all.

And Mr. Rogers –it would take a lot to make him angry.

We never saw Stan Lee angry, but maybe we weren’t looking hard enough.

Lots of folks were mad at Jimmy Carter, but we never saw him get mad back at us –even when we got a ticket for driving over 55 on the freeway.

Watch the Caglecast, and like and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube –or visit our archives and watch on Caglecast.com.

Putin After the Wagner Rebellion

Russia was crazy last week and that made for some crazy-great political cartoons. Here is a batch of my favorite new ones.

The first is one I drew, of the Russian Coat of Arms with the two headed eagle, that doesn’t get along very well with himself now. He’s cursing and calling himself a traitor in Russian.

We often see this two-faced, golden eagle in the middle of Russia’s “tri-color” flag, behind Putin as he’s giving a speech, looking like this.

Our anonymous cartoonist, Rivers, drew a shrinking Putin …

Bill Day had another take on shrinking Putin …

Putin got some backfire from John Darkow …

Pat Bagley put it into a diagram …

And Shooty, our cartoonist in Slovakia, drew this one with Putin and Pregozhin wrestling in a pool of blood.

Dave Whamond saw through the whole thing …

I’ll post some more great ones as they come in!

TRUMP IN TROUBLE: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

Donald Trump was indicted this week on federal charges linked to his handling of classified documents, a first for a former U.S. president. Naturally, the news became a launching platform for cartoonists to weigh in on a number of related topics, including Republican whataboutism and Trump’s difficulty finding new lawyers.

We also had a lot of great cartoons this week about artificial intelligence, including a funny one by Jeff Koterba that was extremely popular with editors.

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