Democrats cave: Top ten cartoons of the week

The government is reopened and Democrats are being mocked for caving. Looks like everything is back to normal in Washington.

Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week was John Darkow's perfect shutdown metaphor, comparing Democrats trusting Republicans to extend Obamacare subsidies to Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. I think we all know how this will end.

Our cartoonists covered a lot of ground this week, with popular cartoons about Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and even the northern lights. I personally liked Rick McKee's cartoon about the old woman who lives in a shoe, a lucky recipient of one of Trump's 50-year mortgages. I wonder if she's still making payments.

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