Education cuts: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump didn’t hide the fact he wanted to shutter the Department of Education while on the campaign trail. Now that he’s president, he’s trying to follow through, though he’ll ultimately need the help of Congress to kill the agency for good.

In the meanwhile, the Education Department announced it was slicing its workforce in half, and cuts could impact everything from student loans to Pell grants to programs like the Rural Education Achievement Program, which helps fun low-income schools in rural areas.

John Darkow’s funny cartoon about an angry kid who thinks school has been canceled because the Education Department is being closed was our most-reprinted cartoon of the week. I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon, which used a March Madness bracket to predict with state would be the first to get rid of education entirely.

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

#1. John Darkow

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week! DOGE, Musk, Inflation, Taxes and More!

The U.S. government is undergoing mass layoffs that threaten many sectors previously taken for granted by taxpayers, including air safety, disease prevention, veteran healthcare, and even processing tax returns.

Our most-reported cartoon of the week comes from Dave Whamond, and features a scary but funny joke about a passenger paying an extra fee to guarantee a safe landing.

Editor’s also loved John Darkow’s cartoon about letting Elon Musk process everyone’s tax return, while Jeff Koterba focused his pen on Uncle Sam waiting in the unemployment line.

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

#1. Dave Whamond

Gulf of Whatever: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Editors love holiday cartoons, so it’s no surprise a number of clever Valentine’s Day cartoons topped our most-reprinted list this week.

Dave Whamond went with the candy heart approach, filling them with phrases that sum up the current environment in Washington. Bob Englehart went with the gift of a dozen eggs in his popular cartoon, a pricey extravagance these days anyone would take over a box of chocolates.

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

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week! Election! Oh!

Kamala Harris is polling ahead in Pennsylvania. No wait, make that Donald Trump. Wait, maybe it’s Harris?

We’re about three weeks away from the presidential election, and whether it’s new polls or the latest campaign ads, it’s impossible to escape coverage of this year’s contest.

Our most popular cartoon of the week was drawn by Gary McCoy, and featured a father’s emotional reactions to political ads on TV. I also enjoyed John Darkow’s cartoon reminiscing about a time when we didn’t seem to care so much about other people’s politics.

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

Stuck in space: Top ten cartoons of the week

The U.S. will have a new president before two astronauts trapped in space will be able to return home.

Thanks to issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will be stuck on the International Space Station until at least February, when either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be living in the White House.

Chris Weyant mocked the situation in a cartoon popular with editors this week, comparing the astronauts’ wait to Joe Biden’s lame-duck status as commander in chief. I also enjoyed Dave Granlund’s comparison of the situation to Gilligan’s Island, the classic TV show where a “three hour tour” famously turned into a much longer stay on an uncharted desert island.

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

ECLIPSE TIME! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

On Monday, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, a momentary break from the bad news we’ve all be drowning in the past few months.

I like Pat Byrnes cartoon in particular, noting how nice a change it will be to know why we’re all plunged in darkness – at least those in the path of the eclipse, as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Unfortunately, the eclipse will only last a few hours. Too bad it couldn’t stick around through the election.

BAD NEWS: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

These days, we always seem to be surrounded by bad news. The conflict in Israel. Mass shootings across the country. A political system that never seems to work.

Several of our most popular cartoons this week centered around that theme, including Chris Weyant’s touching piece about a father reading at night to her daughter. If only we could all just live happily ever after.

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

Republican Sedition Rotten Tomatoes

Why is it that big news always seems to happen when I’m bogged down in year-end syndicate accounting muck? This is an important time for editorial cartoons even when I’m facing a bunch of tax filing deadlines – so here are a couple of quickies. I revamped an old cartoon with a new speech balloon for today’s revised GOP sedition sedition cartoon that is much better than the oldie that got little ink.

I don’t revise cartoons very often, but this one seemed nice, and I labeled it so the few editors who printed the oldie years ago, can avoid being embarrassed by printing a similar cartoon that some readers might remember.

I have another old favorite that I drew when Barack Obama won his presidential election. This is Republican elephants showing their anguish in the form of Picasso’s Guernica.

What is old is new again – except that it seems to get worse the next time.

Sessions Kicked Out

President Trump had his mind on the FBI’s Russia probe when he kicked Attorney General Jeff Sessions out.

Remember when Trump kicked out his National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, because of Flynn’s ties to Russia?

That seems like a long time ago, but the news happens so fast now, it really wasn’t that long. This seemed like a good time to update this one. Since I drew this one, I’ve started drawing Trump fatter, and with a bigger face and neck. I spent some years living in New York where Trump was in the news throughout the 1980’s, and he was a skinny guy. It has taken me some time to adjust my thinking of him as fat.

Doesn’t it seem like the characters who get the boot are the most fun to draw?

Red Meat for Trump’s Base

The mid-term election is coming on Tuesday and president Trump’s strategy is to gin up fear and loathing of immigrants to motivate his base to come out and vote.

Editors don’t like blood in cartoons –but maybe delicious immigration red meat blood is different –it seems to work for Trump.

Kick NATO Again for me

I love the bromance cartoons with Trump and Putin. Here’s my newest one.

Shame on You, Melania

First Lady Melania Trump is known for her sophisticated fashion choices. When she went on a recent visit to see facilities holding illegal immigrant children she chose to wear a jacket imprinted with the words: “I REALLY DON’T CARE  DO U?”

This led to lots of media speculation about whether she thought about the message on the jacket, whether the jacket reflected her own views on the subject of her trip, or whether it was a message to president Trump – who later tweeted that it was a message about the fake news media.

And it looks like I gave Melania two left hands. Sorry about that. I get mail when I do that.
