Back to school: Top ten cartoons of the week

As August winds down, parents can finally see the light at the end of tunnel as their sun-drenched kids say goodbye to summer and head back to school.

Our most-reprinted cartoon this week comes from Bruce Plante, who channeled a kid texting what he did over the summer. I also liked John Darkow's cartoon about kids returning to schools where their parents took RFK Jr.'s advice on vaccines.

The Trump administration's favorite vaccine skeptic was also the target of Chris Weyant, who depicted the country's top health official as a misguided magician looking to make vaccine protection disappear. Boy, this school year will sure be fun.

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