The Pope and pollen: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump generally dominates the headlines, but this week the news topics were all over the place, from taxes to far-off planets where scientists uncovered possible signs of life.

Our most-reprinted cartoon this week was Dave Granlund's tribute to Pope Francis, who died this week at the age of 88. We had a number of cartoons about Francis, but Granlund's depiction certainly struck a chord with editors.

Another popular cartoon was Dave Whamond's funny take on pollen, proving once again everyone cares about the weather.
