Iran again: Top ten cartoons of the week

You again?

That was the punchline of Bruce Plante's funny cartoon about our old advisory Iran being in the news again, thanks to President Trump's unilateral decision to bomb nuclear sites within the country.

Our sudden and apparently short-lived conflict with Iran (on behalf of Israel) garnered a lot of interest from editors, as most of our top cartoons this week touched on the topic. "I hate sequels!" complained a woman in John Darkow's cartoon about Iran, while Rick McKee had Trump painting a massive bomb with the message, "Now is the time for peace."

While most of the focus was on Iran, our most-reprinted cartoon of the week came from out of left field, pun intended – a Dodgers-themed cartoon involving a baseball fan with an encyclopedic memory forgetting his wedding anniversary.

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