A.I. and the Pope: Top ten cartoons of the week

It was a wild week filled with a lot of news, which included Pete Rose being posthumously unbanned from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Trump defended his decision to accept a $400 million luxury airplane from Qatar.

But our two most-popular cartoons of the week were on wildly different subjects – A.I. and the new pope.

Rick McKee drew our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, which featured a high school graduate's dependence on ChatGPT, a popular A.I.-powered chatbot that can also create cartoons and steal jobs.

Our second-most reprinted cartoon was Pat Byrnes' funny cartoon on Pope Leo XIV, the first-ever American pope whose Chicago origins became the fodder for some funny pieces of art.

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