Halloween horror: Top ten cartoons of the week

It was easier to enjoy holidays like Halloween when the economy was strong, prices were affordable, and we weren't worried about robots stealing our jobs.

Jeff Koterba brilliantly mined the malaise surrounding Halloween this year in our most-popular cartoon this week, which featured a trio of terrors – inflation, the government shutdown, and A.I.

Dave Whamond took a similar path in his funny Halloween cartoon that asks a simple question – why watch horror movies when you can just turn on the news?

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