The Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

The good news? Home prices are dropping. Unfortunately, interest rates continue to climb as the Federal Reserve fights to slow down inflation.

Several of our most popular cartoons this week revolve around the high prices we’re all continuing to pay. Dave Whamond’s funny Monty Python riff on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was also popular with editors.

The number eight cartoon about the “Fall Equinox” is a correction of our number one cartoon from last week. Cartoonist Guy Parsons wrote the cartoon about the “Fall Solstice” and, of course, there is no such thing. A group of school children wrote to Guy about the error, and Guy made this corrected cartoon, which was also widely published. No adults complained about the “Fall Solstice” — just kids.

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

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – November 20th, 2021

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of the week ending  November 20th, 2021. Jeff Koterba had the most reprinted cartoon of the week, which appeared in about 164 newspapers.

Kudos to Bob Englehart who has two cartoons in the Top Ten! And congratulations to Steve Sack who was our most reprinted cartoonist again this week, overall.

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.

The world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes.

Jenet Yellen and the Fed

Wall Street types are holding their breath, eagerly awaiting a new pronouncement from the Federal Reserve Bank’s meeting that’s going on now. Those Wall Street “bulls” are  looking for the word, “patience” in a Fed statement, as a clue to whether interest rates will go up, or stay low longer.

Janet Yellen is a rather dull character, but she is delightfully easy to draw. I wash more readers could recognize her so that I wouldn’t have to put a label on her expressive torso. I always feel like I’ve somehow failed in a cartoon when I have to use labels, even when I have a caricature right and the character should be recognizable. Here’s the cartoon in black and white line art, which most readers will see in the newspaper.

…and here it is in color, which most people prefer. Notice that the Wall Street bulls are all brown, St. Just style cattle, ready to slaughter for their delicious beef.
