Top Ten Cartoons, July 1, 2022

Things are hot right now across the United States, and I’m not just talking about the weather.

Cartoonists responded to a host of issues this week, from the explosive January 6 committee hearings to the continued high prices we’re paying for just about everything. If that weren’t enough, there’s the looming threat of a recession off in the horizon, just in time for the midterm elections.

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

#1

Chris Weyant took the #1 most reprinted spot.

#2

Dave Whamond took second place, also his first of two in the list!

#3

Jeff Koterba took third place!

#4

Rick McKee nabbed 4th place.

#5

John Darkow claims the five-spot.

#6

Dave Granlund landed in sixth.

#7

Randall Enos nabs seventh place.

#8

RJ Matson took 8th place.

#9

Dick Wright takes 9th place!

#10

Guy Parson’s number ten cartoon bridges the gap between weeks, coming in at number five last week. This cartoon was reprinted more than the other nine cartoons on the list this week.

Africa Dumping Refugees on Europe

I spent some extra time on this cartoon which was more complicated to draw than usual. I always complain about the cartoon ideas that enthusiastic readers suggest I draw because the readers think in words rather than images, and I get pitches like, “have one army on the left clashing with another army coming in from the right while the sky is filled with helicopters.” I’m much too lazy for that.

So, here I’m drawing a crowd of refugees crashing down on, and running through Europe. I’m too lazy for that, but, well … at least the sky isn’t filled with helicopters.

I laid it out in pencil first …

And here’s a close-up view of the little refugees …

This is much bigger than my actual drawing and it looks pretty messy when it is blown up – rather disturbing – makes me want to go back in and clean it up a bit. I have to be realistic here; like the European Union, there’s a limit to how much of my resources I can free up for refugees.
