Are we ever going to have another slow news week?

Trump threatening to nationalize elections, A.I.’s continued stampede through our lives, the Washington Post’s implosion, and the Super Bowl are just some of the topics that made our list of the most popular cartoons of the week.

The most reprinted was a funny Gary McCoy riff on our growing dependence on chatbots and A.I. Dave Whamond – and not a robot – drew four of our 10 most popular cartoons this week, including a funny Groundhog Day gag and a pointed toon about the Jeff Bezos-owned Post dying in darkness after laying off a third of the staff.

At least the Post didn’t lay off their staff cartoonist – she quit last year, when her editor tried to kill a cartoon going after Bezos and other billionaires for sucking up to Trump. Doesn’t look like much has changed.

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

#1. Gary McCoy

#2. Dave Whamond

#3. Dave Granlund

#4. R.J. Matson

#5. Dave Whamond

#6. Dave Whamond

#7. Harley Schwadron

#8. Dave Whamond

#9. Dick Wright

#10. Gary McCoy
