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.

Inflation Irritation: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

The Supreme Court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was still on the mind of cartoonists and editors this week, which isn’t surprising since the landmark ruling on abortion has been the law of the land for nearly 50 years.

Inflation and supply chain problems continue to be issues that resonate with readers, especially with the news this week that baby formula is hard to find. What food shortage will we be drawing about next week?

#1

Rivers took the #1 most reprinted spot.

#2

Rivers also took second place.

#3

Jeff Koterba  took third place!

John Darkow nabbed 4th place.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – March 25th, 2022

We’ve made a few changes to the Top Ten of the Week. It turns out that our subscribing editors like the Top Ten and some have been using it as a weekly cartoon round-up, so I decided to make this into a column which ran for the first time last week.  It now counts the stats from Wednesday to Wednesday.  Look here and you can see what this looks like as a column.

TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

Editors prefer cartoons about high gas prices and inflation, but a few more cartoons about the war in Ukraine crept into our Top Ten list of the most reprinted cartoons of the week.

The most popular is actually No. 2, a rearview mirror COVID cartoon by Jeff Koterba, which straddled two weeks so it didn’t hit No. 1, but it was reprinted in over 250 newspapers – that’s a lot.

At Cagle.com, we’ve been syndicating editorial cartoons for over twenty years, and we’ve amassed an archive of over 250,000 cartoons. Every few years there’s a spike in gas prices and these are the cartoons editors want to publish, so I looked back over two decades for some oldies that might look fresh today.

I found some great high gas price cartoons by Tab, a great, retired, Canadian cartoonist who used to draw for the Calgary Sun. I sent these to newspapers looking as fresh and new as they did 17 years ago. That’s one of Tab’s gas price cartoons at No. 9, and editors liked all of Tab’s cartoons.

High gas prices never get old.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – March 13th, 2022

Yet again, editorial cartoonists were frustrating as editors preferred light cartoons to the more substantive cartoons about the War in Ukraine.

Here are the cartoons that editors chose to print – for the seven days ending  March 13th, 2022. Congratulations to Dave Whamond who again took the #1 spot this week, by a whisker over Bob Englehart’s #2 — but it wasn’t close on the overall measure as Dave dominated this week with three 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.

 

#1

Dave Whamond took the #1 most reprinted spot, by a wide margin.

#2

Bob Englehart took second place with his first of two in the Top Ten.

#3

Dave Whamond also took third place.

#4

John Cole (that’s me) nabbed 4th place.

#5

RJ Matson claims the five-spot.

Marie Antoinette

The riots in France have been fascinating to watch. The “Giletes Jaunes” (Yellow Vest) protests were triggered by increases in gasoline taxes that French President Emmanuel Macron implemented to discourage people from driving, as part of his battle against Climate Change. The protest movement sees Macron, a rich, former investment banker, as an aloof elite. Those yellow vesters can go “eat cake.”

I love those crazy, historic, giant French hair-doos with depictions of ships and birds and crazy, coiffed, exotic stuff.

Poor and rural “Gilets Jaunes” who must drive to work, donned the yellow vests that they are required by law to keep in their cars for roadside emergencies, as a theme for their protests against Macron and the rich elite that they see as out of touch with their reality.  Here’s a class warfare cartoon by my buddy Robert Rousso, the dean of the French cartoonists (“jaune” or yellow, rhymes with “Jones” in French.)

Marie Antoinette is a great cartoon cliché. Here’s a “TRUE!” cartoon I drew back in 1995. This really is true.

Here’s Marie Antoinette as a cow, in a poster I drew for the Press Cartoon Festival in St Just le Martel, France, side by side with a cow sculpture that festival organizer, Blanche Vandenbroucke, dressed to match my poster. I think Blanche did an impressive job!
