RIP Jesse Jackson: Top ten cartoons of the week

This week, the country said goodbye to civil rights leader and former Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson, who died after a long battle with a neurodegenerative disease.

Our most-popular cartoon of the week was Jonathan Brown's obituary cartoon, which skipped the pearly gates in favor of a more timely message from Jackson that hits hard in Trump's America.

A.I. cartoons were again popular this week, the rare topic where everyone seems to agree these days. I laughed at Dave Whamond's cartoon about a robot impersonating a human online, something I bet we'll be reading about soon... probably in a story written by a computer.

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