OUR AGING LEADERS: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

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.

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

Jeff Koterba nabs seventh place.

#8

Gary McCoy took 8th place.

#9

Rivers takes 9th place!

#10

Dick Wright  comes in at number ten.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – July 3, 2021

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of the week ending  July 3rd, 2021. Five of the ten cartoons are about the Fourth of July.

Dave Whamond took the #1 spot. Dick Wright actually had the most reprints overall, and Jeff Koterba had another impressive week with three cartoons in the Top Ten.

And Kudos to the other CagleCartoonists who made it into our Top Ten most reprinted cartoon of the week list: Pat Bagley , Peter Kuper, Steve Sack, Rick McKee, and Bill Day.

Just about half of America’s daily, paid circulation newspapers (around 700 papers) subscribe to CagleCartoons.com. These are the cartoons that editors picked last week.

New Coronavirus Favorites

Here is my newest coronavirus cartoon followed by a new batch of my COVID-19 favorites.

I’ve been getting requests to show my messy rough sketches, so here you go. This one is scribbled on the back of a page of CagleCartoons letterhead.

I enjoyed this cartoon from Gary McCoy. We’ve been getting a lot of COVID-19 cartoon with the virus as an alien. This is funnier.

 

This one is by our Greek cartoonist, Michael Kountouris. We’re seeing quite a few cartoons with Adam and God from the Sistine Chapel for some reason.

 

Here’s another nice Sistine Chapel cartoon by Ed Wexler.

 

This one is by Adam Zyglis. Editors typically prefer cartoons that are funny and that don’t criticize President Trump, so this one won’t get reprinted as much as the cartoons above. I’m working on a Trump virus cartoon now that probably won’t get much ink.

 

This one by Rick McKee doesn’t really speak to the coronavirus, unless you got it from your own butt, after someone coughed on your butt –still, it makes me laugh. Cartoonists love cartoons about butts, even when there isn’t really a reason for a butt.

As a last thing –when I do blog posts I choose keywords to help in a search. I thought the keywords for this post were particularly funny. Here are the keywords: coronavirus, COVID-19, President Trump, pandemic, empty shelves, Sistine Chapel, God, Adam, creation, aliens, Jack and the Beanstalk, health, medicine

The keywords make me laugh.
