Post date November 20, 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.

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of the week ending May 15th, 2021.

Two stories dominated the news this week, The Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the vote by Republicans in Congress to strip Liz Cheney of her leadership position; there were lots of cartoons about both topics, but none were popular with newspaper editors who preferred cartoons about the pandemic and inflation.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – July 11, 2020

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date July 11, 2020

Here are the ten most widely published cartoons of the week (July 4 through July 11, 2020). As usual, no drawings of President Trump are among the most reprinted cartoons. Also, this week we’re back to the typical pattern of a steep curve, where the most popular cartoons with newspaper editors far exceeded all the other cartoons in reprints. Seven of the Top Ten are about coronavirus, with three about “back to school,” which is a topic that editors love right now.

Dave Whamond dominated this week with #1 and #2 cartoons that far outpaced the others on the list with close to twice as many reprints as the rest. John Darkow has an impressive three cartoons in the Top Ten this week. Dave Granlund also has an impressive performance with two cartoons on the list. Kudos to the three other cartoonists who made the Top Ten this week, John Cole, Jeff Koterba and Bruce Plante. Great work, gentlemen!

Our Top Ten is a measure of how many editors choose to reprint each of our cartoons, from the 62 cartoonists in our 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.

#1

Congratulations to Dave Whamond who drew the #1 most reprinted cartoon this week.

#2

Dave Whamond also drew the #2 most reprinted cartoon this week!

#3

John Darkow has three cartoons in the Top Ten this week, including this one that is tied for third place.

#3

Dave Granlund has two cartoons in the Top Ten and shares 3rd place.

#5

John Cole takes 5th place. If I was drawing this gag I probably would have put president Trump in the place of the generic economist and it occurred to me that if John had done that, this cartoon probably wouldn’t have made it into the Top Ten. Drawings of Trump make newspaper editors run the other way.

#6

Here is John Darkow‘s second of three cartoons in the Top Ten. Color cartoons get more downloads from editors, so this one really hit the editorial sweet spot to make it into the Top Ten. Editors love “back to school” cartoons about the pandemic.

#7

Bruce Plante is in 7th place.

#8

Jeff Koterba takes for 8th place.

#9

Here is John Darkow‘s third cartoon in the Top Ten.

#10

Dave Granlund claims the ten-spot with his second cartoon in the Top Ten.

Here are the ten most popular cartoons of the week (May 16 -May 23).

Congratulations to Steve Sack who has the most popular cartoon of the week and two cartoons in the Top Ten! Bob Englehart also impresses with two of the most popular cartoons. Kudos go to the other cartoonists on the list, Dave Granlund, Dave Fitzsimmons, Bruce Plante, Jeff Koterba, Bill Day and RJ Matson. Eight of the Top Ten cartoons were about the pandemic – that is the fewest coronavirus cartoons on the list in weeks! We’ve flattened the curve!

Our top ten is a measure of how many of our subscribing newspaper editors choose to reprint each of our cartoons, from the 63 cartoonists in our syndication package. 20% of the cartoonists get 80% of the sales and reprints, and most of the cartoonists never make it into the Top Ten. If you don’t like the top ten, take it up with your local newspaper editor. Just about half of America’s daily, paid circulation newspapers subscribe to CagleCartoons.com.

Cartoons about the Nation's Jobless

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date June 1, 2012

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

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 4, 2012

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…
