Sell the house: Top ten cartoons of the week

The cost of everything, from gas to groceries, remains stubbornly high. But nothing seems as outrageously expensive as trying to buy a new home.

Home prices skyrocketed during the COVID pandemic, and inflation fears forced interest rates to rise. Rivers tapped into the economic insecurity over the housing market with a funny cartoon featuring two mutts striking it big by selling their tiny doghouse.

Another carton editors liked this week was Adam Zyglis' take on the death of O.J. Simpson, whose funeral procession was drawn to resemble Simpson's infamous Ford Bronco police chase.
