Thanksgiving tariffs: Top ten cartoons of the week

Thanksgiving is a good reminder how expensive everything remains at the grocery store. So much for Donald Trump's promise to lower grocery prices “on Day One."

Editors know their readers are feeling the pinch. That's why Dave Whammond's cartoon satirizing a famed Norman Rockwell painting (with a much smaller Thanksgiving spread) was among our most popular of the week. Trump lowered tariffs on a host of products, but as Chris Weyant points out in his widely-reprinted cartoon, don't expect much to change until the 2028 election, which is a few years away.

One cartoon I laughed at wasn't related to tariffs at all – it was Dave Granlund's toon mocking Trump's unsanctioned assault on the boat of an allege drug runner, but the only crew are the Skipper and Gilligan, too. Though I wonder how many readers under the age of 50 get the joke.
