Tariff Trouble: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Donald Trump’s obsession with tariffs is causing a melt down on Wall Street, where stocks are plummeting at the economic chaos being caused by his administration.

Several of our most popular cartoons this week were on Trump’s on-and-off approach to tariffs, which is leaving everyone dazed and confused. Jeff Korterba drew a funny cartoon about an Easter bunny already reeling from high egg prices getting hit with tariffs from Trump.

Speaking of eggs, Chris Weyant’s cartoon about a pot of gold being less valuable than a carton of eggs was easily our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, and for good reason. Trump ran for president promising to bring costs down, but the average price of a dozen eggs in the U.S. is up to nearly $6.

I’d suggest pouring yourself a glass of wine, but apparently Trump is going to tariff that, too. The only think left to do is laugh at the absurdity by checking out our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

The Top Ten Cartoons of the Week –Bagley and Matson

What a difference an hour makes. Our Top Ten cartoons of the week changes from minute to minute as editors make new picks, and cartoons drop off when they get to be a week old –so it happened this week when I grabbed the Top Ten cartoons for our podcast earlier than my editor, Rob Tornoe, grabbed them for this column, and RJ Matson’s then #1 Social Security cartoon (that you can see in last week’s post at #8) dropped off of the list.

No matter, all the cartoons are great, and you can see a lot of great conversation about editorial cartoons, newspapers, and our crazy, troubled profession from our brilliant CagleCartoonists, Pat Bagley and RJ Matson.

With the news former President Jimmy Carter has been placed on hospice care, Dave Granlund tribute to the former peanut farmer and Navy veteran turned commander-in-chief was easily this week’s most popular cartoon among editors.

Otherwise, it was a mixed bag as far as topics go. Cartoons about inflation, the Ohio train derailment, and the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were all popular with editors this week. I particularly liked Pat Bagley‘s riff on Little Red Riding Hood, facing a dark forest of social media sites.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

 

#2. Jeff Koterba

Elon Musk Part One!

I am embarking on a marathon of posting Elon Musk editorial cartoons on Twitter!  We have about 200 of them.  Come follow me at: https://twitter.com/dcagle and you can see them all –or just tune in here and see them.

The rumor is that Twitter is no longer tolerant of celebrity parodies, but that may only apply to people who change their names to impersonate celebrities.  I hope that’s true.  I don’t think they will kill mainstream, syndicated editorial cartoons.  We’ll find out.

If it all goes well, I’ll buy one of those pretty, new blue checks that Twitter wouldn’t give me when I applied –but I can buy a blue check now for only $8/month!  What a deal!

I’m starting off with my own, barfy, Elon Musk/Twitter cartoon. Stacey tuned!
