A.I. Anxieties: Top ten cartoons of the week

This week, critics pounced on Time magazine for naming the architects of artificial intelligence its person (people?) of the year.

Our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, drawn by Dave Whamond, mocks the cover as something A.I. itself would come up with. Jeff Koterba also contributed to the anti-robot vibe with a funny cartoon about life with an A.I. chatbot.

Elsewhere on our top ten list, John Darkow drew a popular cartoon about Republicans not extending ObamaCare tax credits before leaving town and heading home for the holidays. Must be nice to have stable, inexpensive congressional healthcare watching over them.
