Summer and AI: Top ten cartoons of the week

While it’s never really quiet with Trump in office, the summer does provide some relief from the relentless pace of news.

Without politics in the forefront, two topics dominated our list of the most-reprinted cartoons this week – the continued expansion of AI and the overwhelming heat.

I enjoyed John Darkow’s popular cartoon about AI, which featured classic robots from Lost in Space and The Twilight Zone. John’s funny cartoon about the scorching temperatures also topped our list, focused on a man who asked about the heat one too many times.

But our most-reprinted cartoon of the week by far, drawn by Dave Granlund, focused on the increasing cost of health care in the U.S. Can’t we get AI to fix that?

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

#1. Dave Granlund

#2. John Darkow

DOGE CUTS: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

IRS agents. VA workers. Park rangers. Air traffic controllers. Social Security administrators. No one employed by the federal government appears safe with Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency waiving a chainsaw across Washington.

Our top two most-reprinted cartoons of the week come from Chris Weyant, and both mock Musk’s blunt and mistake-prone process of trimming the size of the federal workforce. I also enjoyed Jeff Koterba’s cartoon about astronauts returning home after being stuck on the International Space Station, only to find a “Planet of the Apes” scenario playing out in the U.S.

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

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Chris Weyant

Doomscrolling: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Have you heard the phrase doomscrolling? That’s when folks mindlessly consume negative news on their phone without lifting a finger to do anything about it.

Looks like it’s happening a lot during the Trump administration. Dave Whamond’s call for somebody, anybody to stand up and fight – including Democrats in Washington – was easily our most-reprinted cartoon of the week.

A big item in the news are Trump’s on again, off again tariffs on goods coming in from Canada and Mexico. Right now, they’re paused until next month, which led to a funny cartoon by Bob Englehart featuring a kid and his lemonade stand.

For now, don’t stop scrolling. Instead, check out our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Dave Whamond

#2. Bob Englehart

#3. John Darkow

#4. John Darkow

#5. Dick Wright

#6. Dave Whamond

Top Ten Cartoons of the WEEK!

This week in Washington, one of the big news stories was a fight between Donald Trump and the Associated Press over whether it’s called the Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of America.

Our most popular cartoon of the week was drawn by Bob Englehart, and features a GPS overwhelmed by the Gulf of American and all the other new names Trump is throwing out there.

I contributed by drawing a cartoon about a depressed student being forced to write “Gulf of America” over and over again on the chalkboard. On some level, it feels like most of us are being punished.

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

#1. Bob Englehart

#2. Dave Granlund

#3. Bob Englehart

#4. John Darkow

#5. Jeff Koterba

#6. Dave Whamond

#7. Dave Whamond

Washington Post Kills a Cartoon, Cartoonist Resigns – Good for Her

I’ve been impressed with the news coverage generated by cartoonist, Ann Telnaes’ impactful resignation from her gig at the Washington Post. Her resignation and statement made her point loudly and effectively about the disturbing influence that billionaires, who are sympathetic to Trump, like the WA Post’s Jeff Bezos and LA Times’ Patrick Soon-Shiong, have on media that we’ve traditionally been able to trust.
Perhaps one resignation is worth a thousand cartoons. Too bad you can only resign once.

Here is Ann’s drawing that the Post killed:

From left, The Washington Post’s Jeff Bezos, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, The LA Times’ Patrick Soon-Shiong, Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Donald Trump.
The Post’s editorial page editor claims he killed the cartoon because it has similar subject matter to an article he planned to print in the future, and not because of criticism of Trump and the Post’s billionaire owner (not an argument that seems to carry much weight with the cartoonists).
Here are some of our recent cartoons about Bezos and the Post.

Trump’s chaos: Top ten cartoons of the week

Remember the chaos of Donald Trump’s first four years in office? Well, it’s back with a vengeance thanks to some off-the-wall cabinet nominees, including former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was forced to withdraw from becoming Trump’s attorney general.

Chris Weyant hit the nail on the head with his popular cartoon about a family wanting to hibernate for the next four years. I also laughed at R.J. Matson’s cartoon, which features two honest politicians wondering how to get ahead in Trump’s Washington.

But out most-reprinted cartoon this week, which came from Randall Enos, had nothing to do with Trump or Washington, D.C.. Turns out we could all use a little distraction from politics.

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

#1. Randall Enos

#2. Chris Weyant

#3. R.J. Matson

#4. Bob Englehart

#5. Bob Englehart

#6. John Darkow

Top Ten Cartoons – Trump Shake Up!

If this past week taught us anything, it’s that Donald Trump’s second term will be just as chaotic and exhausting as his first.

I thought Jeff Koterba’s popular cartoon this week captured the moment perfectly, as Americans doomscroll while Trump’s wild Cabinet picks come in. I also enjoyed R.J. Matson’s cartoon about a battered Democrat returning to Washington a lame duck.

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

#1. Jeff Koterba

#2. R.J. Matson

#3. Daryl Cagle

#4. Daryl Cagle

#5. Daryl Cagle

Daryl’s Best ELECTION DAY Cartoons!

Here are my favorite Election Day cartoons!  Go out and VOTE!

This is a pleasant daydream.

Here’s my new cartoon appreciating poll workers. I debated with myself whether to make them a bronze statue or just people raising the flag Iwo Jima style.

This is an oldie, revised from the cover of one of my Best Political Cartoons of the Year books. I changed it to be an election day cartoon.

Here’s a recent cartoon that was a popular one. I can stretch my mind and imagine why some doofus would vote for Trump; but I can’t imagine why anyone is undecided.

On election day. I’m sure everyone will be nice.

Vote!

I do lots of old folks watching TV.

This one isgood for every election.

I drew this one about Republican efforts to disenfranchise black voters. It takes many forms.

That’s it! Now go out and VOTE!

And don’t miss our new podcast on YouTube!
