Top Ten Cartoons! Football Widows and Battleground States!

Ads, ads, and more ads.

If you are unlucky enough to live in a battleground state, you’ve probably been inundated with an endless stream of campaign commercials. Bob Englehart’s widely-reprinted cartoon hit the nail on the head, while Dave Granlund and R.J. Matson both mocked the idea voters could still be undecided after such a deluge of information.

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

#1. Bob Englehart

#2. Gary McCoy

#3. Jeff Koterba

#4. John Darkow

#5. Dave Granlund

#6. Jeff Koterba

#7. Randall Enos

#8. R.J. Matson

#9. John Darkow

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:

#1. John Darkow

ELECTION CHOICES: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

We’re about a month away from the first votes in the Republican primary being cast in Iowa, and it’s safe to say the country isn’t very excited about the likely choices for president.

Joe Biden, the incumbent, will likely face Donald Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election, which Biden won by more than 7 million votes. Our two most popular cartoons this week were about the lack of enthusiasm at the top of both presidential tickets. It’s going to be a long year.

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

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Rick McKee

#5. Dick Wright

Taylor Swift and Autumn! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

Did you hear Taylor Swift just might be dating Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce? The news was plastered everywhere this past week, so I commend you if the dating habits of two famous 30-year-olds somehow passed you by.

I enjoyed Rick McKee’s cartoon about the Swift-Kelce hoopla, which juxtaposes celebrity gossip with all the real issues our country faces.

The most popular cartoon this week was Rivers’ take on the beautiful colors of fall. It’s hard to believe we’re just three months away from 2024. Guess I should enjoy the quiet before the election really gets underway.

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

#1. Rivers

Labor Day and Football – Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

After what felt like a fast-moving summer, Labor Day is finally here. Considering how much editors love holiday cartoons, it’s not surprising Dave Granlund’s timely cartoon mashing the holiday with all the crazy weather we’ve experienced the past few months was easily our most-reprinted cartoon this week.

Labor Day also means the return of college football and the NFL, so a couple of pigskin cartoons were widely reprinted this week.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – December 5, 2020

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of last week (November 28th through December 5th 2020). The Top Ten cartoons were tightly bunched, and all were big hits with editors.

Five of the cartoons had Christmas themes. Seven of the cartoons are about the pandemic. As usual, no drawings of Trump were popular with newspaper editors. No cartoons about foreign issues were popular. 20% of the cartoons get 80% of the reprints – that means the Top Ten cartoons are what readers see.

Dave Whamond had a great week again this week, with strong #1 and #4 cartoons. RJ Matson had a very impressive week, with the #2 and #6 cartoons. Dave Granlund is also second to no one with two cartoons in the Top Ten.

Congratulations to the other cartoonists with the most reprinted cartoons of the week, John Darkow, Rick McKee, Adam Zyglis and Jeff Koterba who continues his long streak in the Top Ten.

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

The world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes.  We need you! Don’t let the cartoons die!

#1

Dave Whamond wins the week with this very popular Christmas/pandemic cartoon.

 

#2

RJ Matson takes second place with his first of two cartoons in the Top Ten.

 

#3

John Darkow snags third place with this about the female football player at Vanderbilt – a topic that editors clearly wanted to see in cartoons.

 

#4

Dave Granlund is tied for 4th place again with the first of his three cartoons in the Top Ten.

 

#4

Dave Whamond is also tied for 4th place with his second cartoon on the most reprinted list. Editors love cartoons that complain about how terrible this year has been.

 

#6

RJ Matson  takes 6th place with this beautiful rendering. Waterfalls are hard to draw, the Capitol building is hard to draw, and it is hard to make this dramatic perspective work.  This one is an eye-popper.

 

#7

Jeff Koterba claims 7th place with another Christmas/pandemic cartoon. Jeff seems to have carved out a permanent home on the weekly Top Ten.

 

#8

Dave Granlund is tied for 8th place with his second cartoon in the Top Ten.

 

#8

Rick McKee shares the tie for 8th place. Editors don’t seem to shy away from Biden cartoons, as they do with Trump cartoons, but cartoonists don’t draw Biden often.

 

#10

Adam Zyglis avoids drawing a self-portrait in this auto-biographical cartoon.
