Santa Claus Cartoons – DarylCagle.com

Feeling festive yet?

It’s hard to escape the suffocating grasp of Christmas, which seems to show up earlier and earlier this year. No wonder editors flocked to download Pat Bagley’s funny cartoon about a Thanksgiving turkey getting hooked off the stage in favor of a surprised St. Nick.

As far as Christmas cartoons go, I laughed at Bob Englehart’s toon showing kids asking A.I. for presents and enjoyed Gary McCoy’s funny dig at cursing parents and relatives during the holidays. ‘Tis the season to be merry.

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

For the past few weeks, mysterious drones flying over New Jersey have raised a lot of questions that remain largely unanswered by the government.

Authorities have said there’s nothing to worry about, and that a majority of the drone sightings are actually planes and passenger jets. Yet this week, the FAA temporarily banned drone flights over 20 locations in New Jersey “out of an abundance of caution.”

Not surprisingly, our cartoonists were fixated on the drone story, using the timing of Christmas to point their fingers at Santa. I liked Rick McKee’s cartoon, which features three wise men and a drone stand-in for the North Star.

McKee also had our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, but it didn’t have anything to do with drones – it shows Santa being confronted by a kid with an empty stocking. Just wait until Trump’s tariffs kick in.
