Thanksgiving Wrap-up – Top 10 Cartoons

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the least surprising development was the popularity of our turkey day cartoons.

Some cartoonists hate drawing holiday cartoons, but editors and readers clearly love them. Especially in a year where sweeping political change is heading towards Washington.

Rick McKee won the holiday, penning our three most popular cartoons of the week. Turns out lots of people were worried about politics ruining their feasts.

I also enjoyed Dave Granlund’s cartoon comparing the crowded conditions on the Mayflower with the congested roads of Thanksgiving today.

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

#1. Rick McKee

Twitter Trouble: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

There’s been a lot of talk about people being disengaged from politics this election cycle, and this week’s most popular cartoons seems to back that up.

Despite midterm elections that saw Republicans struggle and Donald Trump put himself back into the spotlight, editors seemed more interested in Elon Musk and the chaos he’s created at Twitter. Between the issues at Twitter and layoffs at Amazon, it wasn’t the best week for some of the world’s top tech giants.

I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon about a changing of the guard at Starbucks, from pumpkin spike lattes to eggnog lattes, which is probably a lot more relevant to people than how large the Republican majority will be in the House.

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

#1. Monte Wolverton, Cagle.com

 

#2. Dave Granlund, Cagle.com

 

#3. John Darkow, Columbia Missourian

 

#4. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

ELECTION’S END: TOP TEN CARTOONS OF THE WEEK

You might have heard; there was an election this week. While there is a good deal that remains uncertain (Georgia’s Senate race won’t be settled until next month), one thing that seems universal is our exhaustion over election ads and petty bickering from candidates.

Fortunately, we can all now safely turn on our TVs and not be afraid of eerie music playing behind black and white images of craven politicians attacking one another. We’ll just have to wait a bit longer for those lawn signs to be removed.

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

#1. Chris Weyant, Boston Globe

 

#2. Dave Whamond, Cagle.com

 

#3. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

 

#4. Dave Granlund, Cagle.com

 

#5. Jeff Koterba, Cagle.com

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – November 27th, 2021

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of the week ending  November 27th, 2021. Every popular cartoon this week had a holiday theme.

Jeff Koterba again had the most reprinted cartoon of the week, which appeared in about 172 newspapers. Jeff also has two cartoons in the Top Ten and was our most reprinted cartoonist again this week, overall.

Kudos to Rick McKee and Dave Whamond who have two cartoons each in the Top Ten – actually it is the Top Eleven this week because we have a tie for #10.

Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, still needs you!  Journalism is threatened with the pandemic that has shuttered newspaper advertisers.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – November 28, 2020

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of last week (November 21st through November 28th 2020). The Top Ten cartoons dominated newspaper editors’ choices again this week. The top three cartoons did especially well.

Six holiday cartoons made the list; seven of the cartoons were about the pandemic. No drawings of Trump or Biden were popular with newspaper editors. No cartoons about foreign issues were popular. The Top Ten cartoons dominated the choices of editors, again this week.

Dave Granlund had a great week with a very popular #1 cartoon and two cartoons in the Top Ten. Dave Whamond and Jeff Koterba also had impressive weeks, each with two cartoons on the list.

Congratulations to the other cartoonists who had the most reprinted cartoons this week: Steve Sack, Dave Fitzsimmons, John Cole and Rick McKee.

Our Top Ten is a measure of how many editors choose to reprint each of our cartoons, from the 62 cartoonists in our CagleCartoons.com syndication package. Just about half of America’s daily, paid circulation newspapers (around 700 papers) subscribe to CagleCartoons.com.

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – November 21, 2020

Here are our most reprinted cartoons of last week (November 14th through November 21st 2020). The Top Ten cartoons dominated newspaper editors’ choices this week with all ten tightly bunched, close to equally popular and far ahead of the rest of the cartoons in reprints.

Thanksgiving/pandemic combo cartoons were most popular this week, with six of these making the Top Ten. Again, no drawings of Trump were popular with editors, even while Trump continues to dominate the news. Editors avoided scores of cartoons about the messy presidential transition, crazy Rudy Guiliani and claims of election fraud.  As usual, no foreign topics were popular with American editors. Only one cartoon on the list (Bob Englehart at #2) expresses a political view, however mildly – unless concern about the pandemic is considered a political view.

Congratulations to Dave Whamond for his #1 cartoon.  Kudos to Jeff Koterba and Dave Fitzsimmons who both have two cartoons in the Top Ten!

And congrats to the other cartoonists who made the Top Ten list this week: Bob Englehart, John Darkow, Dave Granlund, Bruce Plante, and me.

Our Top Ten is a measure of how many editors choose to reprint each of our cartoons, from the 62 cartoonists in our CagleCartoons.com syndication package. Just about half of America’s daily, paid circulation newspapers (around 700 papers) subscribe to CagleCartoons.com. 

Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, still needs you!  Journalism is threatened with the pandemic that has shuttered newspaper advertisers.

#1

Dave Whamond’s Thanksgiving/pandemic/Rockwell cartoon takes first place.

Bob Englehart takes second place with one of the few political cartoons mentioning politics that editors liked this week.

#6

Bruce Plante nabs 6th place with yet another Thanksgiving/pandemic cartoon.

 

#7

#8

Daryl Cagle (that’s me) takes 8th place with the second vaccine cartoon on the list.

 

#8

Dave Fitzsimmons is tied for 8th place with this Pandemic/Back to School/Zoom/Kitty cartoon. Gotta love kitties.
