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?

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.

Cartoons about the Nation's Jobless

The big news today is May’s rotten jobs report, which shows a paltry 69,000 new jobs added and an unemployment rate that has inched up to 8.2 percent. Even more scary is corporate America continues to be able to make more money with about the same labor force, causing stock prices to soar but doing little for the growing number of unemployed workers looking for a job.

Here are six hard-hitting cartoons about the extended unemployment problem the U.S. faces. Anyone have a solution?

Stagnant Job Growth – Five Cartoons

U.S. employers may have added 115,000 jobs in April, but that was the smallest number in six months, and much lower than economics expected. Even though the unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent, it was mostly due to more people leaving the workforce entirely (nearly 350,000 of them).

None of this is good news for the nation’s unemployed, looking to decide on which candidate has the best plan to steer them to a steady job and a paycheck. Here are five timely cartoons about the struggle our economy still has…

What Do Political Cartoons and McDonalds Have in Common

?

Every time I open a newspaper I read another story about the decline of newspapers. Political cartoonists were the canaries in the newspaper-decline-coal-mine; our ranks have been shrinking for the past 30 years — but now the pace has quickened as only a few dozen editorial cartoonists are left, and they seem to be losing their jobs at a pace of about one per week.

Political cartoons won’t disappear. As long as there is a newspaper left, with a space for a cartoonist to fill, a cartoonist will step up to draw. What we’re seeing is the “McDonaldsization” of editorial cartoons. Like McDonalds, there aren’t a lot of choices on the menu, everything on the menu is pretty good, and everyone, everywhere, chooses from the same, few menu choices. We may soon be left with just a dozen political cartoonists, perhaps the best ones, drawing for all the newspapers — just as we all watch the same news on TV, buy the same products at Wal-Mart, and eat the same food at McDonalds.

To fans of political cartoons, the list of prominent political cartoonists who have recently lost their jobs is shocking. Here is a partial list:

Gary Brookins, The Richmond Times Dispatch (Va.). Buyout.

Tom Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle (Calif.). buyout.

Bill Day, The Commercial Appeal (Memphis,Tenn.). Laid off.

John Branch, San Antonio Express-News (Texas). Laid off.

David Horsey, Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Wash.). Newspaper closed, will continue to work for Web site.

Jim Borgman, The Cincinatti Enquirer (Ohio). Buy out.

Eric Devericks, The Seattle Times (Wash.). Laid off.

Lee Judge, The Kansas City Star (Mo.). Laid off, now freelances.

Don Wright, The Palm Beach Post (Fla.). Buyout.

Steve Greenberg, Ventura County Star (Calif.). Laid off.

Stuart Carlson, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (Wisc.). Buyout.

Ed Stein, Rocky Mountain News (Colo.), Newspaper closed. Continues to draw in syndication.

Drew Litton (Sports Cartoonist) Rocky Mountain News (Colo.). Newspaper closed. Continues to draw in syndication.

Ben Sargent, Austin American-Statesman (Texas). Buyout.

Brian Duffy, The Des Moines Register (Iowa). Laid off.

Bill Schorr, quit print syndication.

Bill Garner, The Washington Times (D.C.). Laid off.

Kevin “Kal” Kallaugher, The Sun (Baltimore, Md.). Laid off.

Patrick O’Connor, Daily News (Los Angeles, Calif.). Laid off.

Corky Trinidad, Honolulu Star-Bulletin (Hawaii). Died; position not refilled.

Dick Adair, The Honolulu Advertiser (Hawaii). Laid Off.

Dwane Powell, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.). Now freelances.

Jim Lange, The Oklahoman (Oklahoma City, Okla.). “Early” retirement.

Chip Bok, Akron Beacon-Journal (Ohio). Buyout.

Peter Dunlap-Shohl, Anchorage Daily News (Alaska). Buyout.

Sandy Huffaker, retired from syndication.

Jake Fuller, The Gainesville Sun (Fla.). Laid off.

Dave Granlund, The MetroWest Daily News (Framingham, Mass.). Laid Off.

Paul Combs, left syndication after leaving The Tampa Tribune (Fla.); position not refilled.

Mike Shelton, The Orange County Register (Calif.). Laid off.

Gordon Campbell, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Ontario, Calif.). Laid off.

Richard Crowson, The Wichita Eagle (Kan.). Laid off.

Mike Peters, Dayton Daily News (Ohio). Cut back on the number of editorial cartoons he draws.

Ann Telnaes, quit print syndication to focus on animation.

David Catrow, Springfield News-Sun (Ohio). Left to work on other projects.
