Hello, 2026!: Top ten cartoons of the week

2026 should be a fun year for cartoonists… if we’re not all replaced by robots.

The fear of A.I. was front and center in a number of our most-popular cartoons this week, as technological terrors took the place of Baby New Year. But our most-reprinted cartoon was a funny New Year’s resolutions gag drawn by John Darkow.

While New Year’s related cartoons dominated this week’s list, I chuckled at Chris Weyant’s Christmas cartoon about out of control electric bills and Gary McCoy’s riff about a bossy chat bot. Just don’t talk bad about ChatGPT within earshot.

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