At least 120 people are dead – including scores of kids – after devastating floods ravaged a central Texas county last week. That number will almost surely go up, and reports indicate Trump’s deep cuts to the National Weather Service may have played a role in limiting the response.

While a lot of Texas flooding cartoons were used by editors this week, their favorite was a simple yet sympathetic response to the tragedy drawn by Bob Englehart. Jeff Koterba’s flood cartoon, also popular with editors, was more pointed – it featured Elon Musk dancing on the roof of a flooded house waiving his government-slashing chainsaw.

Speaking of Musk, he also made an appearance in our most-reprinted cartoon of the week, a criticism of his new America Party drawn by Jonathan Brown. The bumper sticker on the car in the cartoon says it all: “Get us out of this mess.”
