No One’s Listening: Top 10 Must-See Political Cartoons Exposing the Government Shutdown Chaos!

As the government shutdown enters its sixth week, Republicans and Democrats don’t seem much closer to a solution both sides can agree on.

As Bob Englehart notes in his popular cartoon this week, we’re not listening to one another. The loudest, harshest voices dominate the discussion, with one side yelling at the other, as Gary McCoy depicted in his funny toon.

Hopefully the sweeping Election Night Democrats had this week loosens things up in Washington so a deal can get done before planes start falling from the sky. Our cartoonists don’t seem too optimistic about that.

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

#1. Bob Englehart

#2. John Darkow

We have a great new Caglecast podcast about Trump’s impending attack on Venezuela and it’s crooked president, Nicolas Maduro – with two great cartoonists, Taylor Jones and Arcadio Esquivel. The conversation gets into to how-to-draw and A.I., like most conversations around here do. Its fun!  Come watch!#3. Dave Granlund

#4. Gary McCoy

#5. Bob Englehart

#6. Dave Whamond

#7. Dave Granlund

#8. Dick Wright

#9. R.J. Matson

#10. Harley Schwadron

After Halloween HORROR – Top Ten Cartoons

The most reprinted cartoons of last week were dominated by Halloween – just like the week before.  Editors love Halloween cartoons for all of October every year. (And the government shutdown is scary!)

It was easier to enjoy holidays like Halloween when the economy was strong, prices were affordable, and we weren’t worried about robots stealing our jobs.

Jeff Koterba brilliantly mined the malaise surrounding Halloween this year in our most-popular cartoon this week, which featured a trio of terrors – inflation, the government shutdown, and A.I.

Dave Whamond took a similar path in his funny Halloween cartoon that asks a simple question – why watch horror movies when you can just turn on the news?

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

#1. Jeff Koterba

#2. Dave Whamond

We have a great new Caglecast podcast about Trump’s impending attack on Venezuela and it’s crooked president, Nicolas Maduro – with two great cartoonists, Taylor Jones and Arcadio Esquivel. The conversation gets into to how-to-draw and A.I., like most conversations around here do. Its fun!  Come watch!

#3. Dave Granlund

#4. Dave Whamond

#5. Bruce Plante

#6. Jeff Koterba

#7. R.J. Matson

#8. John Darkow

Shutdown Drags On: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

The government shutdown grinds forward, with no end in sight and no deal on the horizon to bring together Republicans and Democrats. In other words, it’s a mess, which isn’t exactly new for Washington.

Gary McCoy’s shutdown cartoon, featuring a student complaining about schools not being closed, was our most-reprinted cartoon this week. Bruce Plante’s boxing-themed cartoon – with both Republicans and Democrats bruised and battered – was also popular among editors.

I laughed at Pat Byrnes’ funny cartoon about Republicans and Democrats finally finding something to agree on – the full release of the Epstein files. Now if they can only find something to agree on to reopen the government.

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

#1. Gary McCoy

#2. Bruce Plante

I recently went to Italy for the World Humor Awards exhibition and awards. I made new friends and had a great time, so I made a podcast discussing all the winning cartoons with our new, Italian Cagle Cartoonist Marco de Angelis and ISCA (the caricaturist organization) president, Robin Schwartzman, who were jurors for the exhibition and great cartoonists.  Come look!#3. John Cole

#9. John Darkow
