Halloween hijinks: Top ten cartoons of the week

Even though we're still a week away from Halloween, it's never too early for cartoonists to flex their holiday-drawing muscles.

Our most-reprinted Halloween cartoon this week comes from Chris Weyant, who drew two pumpkins and the impact reading too many headlines can have. I laughed at Rick McKee's cartoon, about a Frankenstein monster with chicken legs due to sky-high meat prices.

While many of our most popular cartoons this week were Halloween-related, the one reprinted most by editors was a funny take about the high-profile heist at the Louvre in Paris, France drawn by Gary McCoy.

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