Wallet Pain: Top 10 Cartoons This Week

The cost of everything remains the top story for most people, with Trump’s war in Iran causing prices to rise at the fastest pace in three years.

It’s not just gas and groceries. As Dave Granlund highlighted in our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, home prices are also rising to unaffordable levels, as are the interest rates people are being forced to pay. With inflation rising, don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

I chuckled at Dave Whamond’s cartoon about a family’s credit cards being maxed out. The solution? Be like Trump and put in a reflecting pool. Why not add an arch over your driveway while you’re at it?

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

#1. Dave Granlund

#2. Gary McCoy

Watch Jeff Koterba (2025 National Headliners Award winner), Rick McKee (runner-up), and Adam Zyglis (the other runner-up) break down their award winning Trump-bashing cartoons of the year.

This is a nice how-to course on how to draw Trump bashing political cartoons.  Come look!

#3. John Darkow

#4. Dave Whamond

#5. Chris Weyant

#6. Pat Bagley

#7. Dave Granlund

#8. John Darkow

#9. Jonathon Brown

#10. Dave Whamond

Dangerous data centers: Top ten cartoons of the week

With tech companies squeezing A.I.-powered tools into every product they can, energy-hungry data centers are popping up across the country to provide the necessary processing power.

Our most popular cartoon this week, from the pen of John Cole, visualizes the problem with a giant yellow bird putting pressure on the power grid. Pat Bagley also drew a popular data center cartoon focused on a real farmer’s fear.

Otherwise, the focus continues to be on high prices. Can’t A.I. do something about that?

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

#1. John Cole

#2. Milt Priggee

Trump’s economy: Top ten cartoons of the week

The U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter this year, but don’t blame Trump’s tariffs or all the uncertainly created by his administration during his first 100 days in office. No, according to Trump, this is still the economy of Joe Biden, who hasn’t been president for more than three months.

Our most-reprinted cartoon this week, drawn by Dave Granlund, shows a middle class family alongside other endangered species. Another popular economic cartoon came from Dave Whamond, who knew exactly where to put a cartoon of eggs in the jewelry store.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

The Conclave to elect a new Pope will be big news soon –get caught up on your Catholic cartoon research with our special podcast of 125 Pope Francis cartoons and a discussion with cartoonist Taylor Jones who drew a whole lot of cartoons about the Pope. Come watch, this is a great one.

Tariff turmoil: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump’s certainly left his mark on the global economy, with his global tariffs continuing to wreak havoc on markets across the world. Here in the U.S., Wall Street has become something of a rollercoaster ride, jumping and falling on every Truth Social post from the president

The interest in everything tariffs was evident this week, as nearly all of our most-reprinted cartoons were about Trump’s tax hike on imported goods. Our most popular cartoon, drawn by Ed Wexler, focused on the poor penguins in Antarctica unexpectedly hit by Trump’s tariffs.

Dave Whamond also drew a pair of popular tariff cartoons – a funny one featuring a keyboard warrior turned tax expert, and another mocking our dwindling 401(k)s. If you haven’t logged into your retirement account lately, don’t start now. I’d wait for all of Trump’s “winning” to kick in.

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

#1. Ed Wexler

#2. Dave Whamond

#3. Dave Whamond

#4. Dave Granlund

#5. Harley Schwadron

#6. John Darkow

#7. John Darkow

ECLIPSE TIME! Top Ten Cartoons of the Week!

On Monday, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, a momentary break from the bad news we’ve all be drowning in the past few months.

I like Pat Byrnes cartoon in particular, noting how nice a change it will be to know why we’re all plunged in darkness – at least those in the path of the eclipse, as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Unfortunately, the eclipse will only last a few hours. Too bad it couldn’t stick around through the election.

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

#1. Doug Plante

Recession Rumblings – Top 10, August 4th, 2022

Are we in a recession or not? Experts have been debating what’s going on after figures released last week showed that while the U.S. economy shrank for the second straight quarter, job growth continues to be strong.

Of course, things are falling along political lines – Republicans say we are, Democrats say we’re not. Does everything have to be about politics?

Top Ten Cartoons of the Week – March 5th, 2022

This was another frustrating week for editorial cartoonists as editors preferred light cartoons to the many, hard hitting cartoons about about Russia’s evil invasion of Ukraine.

Here are the cartoons that editors chose to print – for the seven days ending  March 5th, 2022. Congratulations to Dave Whamond who took the #1 spot this week and was also the most reprinted cartoonist of the week.  And kudos to Jeff Koterba  who has two cartoons in the Top Ten.

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.
