Summer blues: Top ten cartoons of the week

With everything going on in Washington these days, it's hard to actually enjoy the summer.

Whether it's aggressive ICE agents, cuts to public broadcasting, or Trump's off-and-on tariffs, the beach isn't enough of a distraction over the dysfunction and short-sightedness of our current government.

That's the crux of Chris Weyant's popular cartoon this week, which features a vacationing man whose angry red face is easily confused with sunburn. Dave Granlund's summer cartoon shows an equally-angry family, but instead of being upset over politics they're upset about lifeguard shortages and E. coli in the water. Gross.

I did chuckle at John Darkow's cartoon, which shows ICE agents working in a field, replacing the migrant workers they callously forced out of the country. Enjoy the summer heat!
