Cagle World

It’s the most wonderful time of year, until you check out the price of gifts for Christmas.

Inflation might be slowing down, but prices are still high and a number of our most popular cartoons this week touched on the expensive costs of gifts this holiday season.

Another popular subject was former President Donald Trump suggesting we rip up the Constitution and redo the 2020 election. I’d go into the reasons he cited, but they’re just as fictional as Santa himself.

With the midterms over, all eyes are on the 2024 election, which as of now will feature a rematch between current President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump. Rick McKee’s cartoon about political leftovers was hit with editors this week, nailing the sweet spot between Thanksgiving and topical.

Inflation continues to be a popular topic for cartoonists. At least gas prices have started to drop.

There’s been a lot of talk about people being disengaged from politics this election cycle, and this week’s most popular cartoons seems to back that up.

Despite midterm elections that saw Republicans struggle and Donald Trump put himself back into the spotlight, editors seemed more interested in Elon Musk and the chaos he’s created at Twitter. Between the issues at Twitter and layoffs at Amazon, it wasn’t the best week for some of the world’s top tech giants.

I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon about a changing of the guard at Starbucks, from pumpkin spike lattes to eggnog lattes, which is probably a lot more relevant to people than how large the Republican majority will be in the House.

You might have heard, but there was an election this week.

While there is a good deal that remains uncertain (Georgia’s Senate race won’t be settled until next month), one thing that seems universal is our exhaustion over election ads and petty bickering from candidates.

Fortunately, we can all now safely turn on our TVs and not be afraid of eerie music playing behind black and white images of craven politicians attacking one another. We’ll just have to wait a bit longer for those lawn signs to be removed.

If you haven’t noticed by all the political attack ads on television, it’s nearly Election Day! In just a couple of days Americans will be heading down to their local polling place to cast that vote in the 2022 midterms.

Elections are always a long slog for both voters and cartoonists, who just feel fatigued by the whole thing at this point. But at least they give us plenty to draw about.

We’re a little more than a week out from Election Day, and inflation remains one of the biggest issues of the midterms. Everything just seems to keep getting more and more expensive.

Of course, the election itself is a great topic for cartoons. Election deniers, unfit candidates, polarization – unfortunately there’s a lot of material for cartoonists to work with.

Happy Halloween! As we creep closer to the spookiest day of the year, it’s not surprising a chunk of this week’s most-reprinted cartoons were riffs off the holiday.

But the top cartoon this week was on InfoWars owner Alex Jones, who was ordered to pay the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims $1 billion in damages over his dishonest and reprehensible comments.

Last week, President Joe Biden announced he will pardon thousands of Americans federally convicted of marijuana possession. It didn’t take long for cartoonists to twist the acronym POTUS into fun riffs on pot and new green deals. 

The upcoming midterm elections were also on the minds of cartoonists and editors last week. While cartoonists love the candidates and craziness that comes with national elections every couple of years, for most voters Nov. 8 can’t get here soon enough.

Pollsters were on the minds of cartoonists this week, as we inch closer and closer to the 2022 midterm elections. Unfortunately, American’s won’t have a say in the makeup of the Supreme Court, despite the institution’s plunging approval ratings. 

Editors also went with cartoons about Vladimir Putin and his continued invasion of Ukraine, especially after his suggestion about the use of nuclear weapons last week.
