Will the U.S. ever learn?

That’s basically the gist of our most popular cartoons this week, which sharply mocked Donald Trump’s war in Iran – the “real” March Madness, according to Dave Granlund. Like other conflicts in the Middle East, Trump’s “little excursion” into Iran doesn’t appear to have an endgame and threatens to drag on and on.

One of our most-popular cartoons this week, drawn by conservative cartoonist Gary McCoy, transformed a couple’s bathtub into a strategic petroleum reserve. Another popular one came from the pen of Monte Wolverton, who imagined pro-war oil executives rolling around in piles of money like charmless Scrooge McDucks.

While the focus was almost entirely on the war in Iran this week, our most-popular cartoon was a John Darkow special about the crazy swings in temperature across much of the country. At least it was a momentary distraction from the rising prices at the pump.
