Fireworks galore: Top ten cartoons of the week

There’s been plenty of fireworks to go around recently, between Trump’s combative rhetoric and Congress passing a controversial budget that cuts taxes and Medicaid.

Thankfully this week we get fun fireworks added to the mix as we celebrate our country’s birthday, despite our founders believing we’d all be eating burgers and drinking beers on July 4.

While this week’s top ten list is dominated by the holiday, our most-reprinted cartoon mocks the hapless Democrats, where the fireworks are between the party’s young activists and old guard.

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

#1. Chris Weyant

#2. Gary McCoy

At about the same time that our cartoonist, Zehra Omeroglu was aquitted, and is no longer facing three years in Turkish prison.  This week, another cartoonist in Turkey, Dogan Pehlivan (along with the editorial staff of the Le Man magazine) was arrested for drawing a cartoon that Turkish authorities didn’t like – this is the same magazine that published Zehra’s offending cartoon.

See Zehra tell her story and show her cartoon that got her arrested at 4:09 in our video below.

#3. Bruce Plante

#4. Jonathan Brown

#5. Bob Englehart

#6. Dave Whamond

#7. Dave Granlund

#8. R.J. Matson

#9. John Darkow

#10. R.J. Matson

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – July 3, 2021

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of the week ending  July 3rd, 2021. Five of the ten cartoons are about the Fourth of July.

Dave Whamond took the #1 spot. Dick Wright actually had the most reprints overall, and Jeff Koterba had another impressive week with three cartoons in the Top Ten.

And Kudos to the other CagleCartoonists who made it into our Top Ten most reprinted cartoon of the week list: Pat Bagley , Peter Kuper, Steve Sack, Rick McKee, and Bill Day.

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.

The world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes.
