Tariff time: Top ten cartoons of the week

Trump's tariffs are back on, with dozens of key trading partners being slapped this week with so-called "reciprocal" tariffs Trump may or may not walk back.

I liked John Darkow's cartoon, which mixed the furor of tariffs with wildfire smoke from Canada clouding our economic future. John Koterba also had a funny tariff cartoon involving a mom rushing to buy back to school supplies before prices go up.

But our most popular cartoon of the week, drawn by Chris Weyant, tackled the looming presence of AI by quoting philosopher René Descartes. I recall he also had another famous line about doubt being the origin of wisdom, something all these tech cheerleaders seem to be lacking.

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