Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date December 27, 2025

Last week the Christmas spiritinvaded the cartoon world, with Santa and his elves predictably dominating our most-popular toons this week.

Gary McCoy topped out list with his cartoon about a father asking Santa for a peaceful world, which any parent can relate to. Chris Weyant also drew a popular cartoon along similar lines.

There were some pokes and prods as well. Dave Granlund draw a funny cartoon featuring politicians running to an airplane leaving Washington, D.C., the only time you see them hurrying to do anything. And I enjoyed Randall Enos’ jab at the release of the Epstein Files, with two guys at the bar having a redacted conversation.

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

#1. Gary McCoy

#2. Jeff Koterba

Heard Immunity

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date October 18, 2020

I don’t draw many crowd scenes, but the dangerous, maskless, science denying Trump crowds seem to be the story today. Here’s a detail from my new cartoon …

And here’s my new cartoon about “Heard Immunity” with a Trump rally-herd of COVID fodder.

And here’s the rough sketch. It’s crazy that people want to see the sketches.

Planet COVID-19, Part 4

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date April 8, 2020

Our Planet COVID-19 posts end today – unfortunately, the coronavirus may go on for months. I think the cartoonists are doing their best work as they are stuck at home. Disasters bring out the best in cartoonists, and their work is more important now than ever. At the same time, the pandemic is taking a terrible toll on newspapers and we’re seeing a collapse of newspapers now that will bring on a collapse of our political cartooning profession. Please visit Cagle.com/heroes to see what you can do to help save the cartoons.

Flu Epidemic Grips America

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date January 26, 2018

The new on TV often doesn’t match up well with the news that actually affects most people – by that measure, I think theft epidemic is the biggest story in the USA right now, with hospitals filled to overflowing across the nation. Also, it is an excuse to draw something different than the rest of the pack of editorial cartoonists who are obsessed with Trump every day.

It is so nice to have an opportunity to draw a nasty monster. I thought about drawing a “flu bug” insect, like the Zika cartoon below …

But the Zika epidemic was transmitted by roaming mosquitos. My “flu bug” looks a bit too much like a reptile.

The image at the right, from Wikipedia, shows what the “flu bug” actually looks like. I don’t find this image to be very interesting; it has no eyes, or legs, or teeth, or snot. If is was an amoeba shape I could take some license with the shape to make arms and legs, but no.

Reptiles are threatening, so, what the hell. The flu is trouble for everybody, including me.
