Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – March 5th, 2022

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date March 5, 2022

This was another frustrating week for editorial cartoonists as editors preferred light cartoons to the many, hard hitting cartoons about about Russia’s evil invasion of Ukraine.

Here are the cartoons that editors chose to print – for the seven days ending March 5th, 2022. Congratulations to Dave Whamond who took the #1 spot this week and was also the most reprinted cartoonist of the week. And kudos to Jeff Koterba who has two cartoons in the Top Ten.

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.

Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, still needs you! Journalism is threatened with the pandemic that has shuttered newspaper advertisers. Some pundits predict that a large percentage of newspapers won’t survive the pandemic economic slump, and as newspapers sink, editorial cartoonists who depend on newspapers sink too, and along with them, our Cagle.com site.

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date January 3, 2021

Here are Rick McKee’s Top Ten cartoons of the year that were most reprinted in newspapers. Rick is impressive and prolific, he worked for many years as the editorial cartoonist for the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle, he has taken over the classic comic panel “Pluggers” and he also draws a new newspaper comic strip, “Mt. Pleasant.”

We keep statistics on how many editors, who subscribe to our syndicate service at CagleCartoons.com, download each cartoon. Over the next few days I’ll post Top Ten cartoons from some of our other CagleCartoonists! See Rick’s cartoon archive on Cagle.com

Merry Christmas!

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – October 24, 2020

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date October 24, 2020

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of last week (October 17th, through October 24th, 2020). As usual, drawings of President Trump were not popular with newspaper editors, but a tiny Trump sneaked into the Top Ten in John Cole‘s #4 debate cartoon. Again this week the Top Ten cartoons dominated newspaper reprints as less popular cartoons got little or no ink and editors flocked to the same cartoons.

Dave Whamond had a fantastic week with three cartoons in the Top Ten – Dave’s #1 cartoon was a hit that ranks in the top five of the year. John Cole also had an impressive week with two cartoons in the Top Ten.

Congratulations to the other CagleCartoonists with Top Ten cartoons this week: Gary McCoy, John Darkow, Jeff Koterba, Randy Enos and Chris Weyant.

Our Top Ten is a measure of how many editors choose to reprint each of our cartoons, from the 62 cartoonists in our CagleCartoons.com syndication package. Just about half of America’s daily, paid circulation newspapers (around 700 papers) subscribe to CagleCartoons.com.

Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, still needs you! Journalism is threatened with the pandemic that has shuttered newspaper advertisers. Some pundits predict that a large percentage of newspapers won’t survive the pandemic economic slump, and as newspapers sink, so do editorial cartoonists who depend on newspapers, and along with them, our Cagle.com site, that our small, sinking syndicate largely supports, along with our fans.

The world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes. We need you! Don’t let the cartoons die!

Trump and Disinfectant PART 1

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date April 26, 2020

Last Thursday America was fascinated to see President Trump pushing one of his medical experts to conduct research on crazy and harmful proposed cures for COVID-19, including drinking or injecting toxic disinfectants and shining light inside the body. I got emails from quacks pushing bleach pills soon after Trumps spectacle. This scary nonsense led to lots of cartoons –see the best of the batch below, with a second installment tomorrow as these cartoons are still coming in.

Support from our fans can make the all the difference as the pandemic/newspaper-crash threatens to kill our profession. Editorial cartoons are an important part of journalism and the world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes. Thanks for your generosity! We need you now!
