Long before I read op-eds, I was reading editorial cartoons. Truth be told, I liked them so much I found the opportunity — TWICE — at college to write a paper about editorial cartoons.
This week we had a lot of news, so I’ve got more sections than normal. Here’s how some of the best cartoonists in the country covered the biggest stories. I hope you enjoy their work as much as I do.

I noticed earlier today that this most anticipated Saturday post was not amidst my inbox. It just occurred to me to check the spam folder and there is was languishing along with 14 other emails, of which not a one was an actual spam. I should have thought to check there earlier as this has been increasingly occurring this past week. Be that as it may, I am thankful that the lost was safely found and I can now peruse this week’s outstanding collection. I was intrigued when I read in the introduction that you twice wrote papers in college about editorial cartoons and curiosity bids me to ask if they still survive in actual written form or simply within your memory? I cannot help but think that reading those long ago writings would be both entertaining and enjoyable. But, I digress! As seems to happen every week, there was no shortage of topics for the political cartoonists this week. I cannot choose one overall favorite as there are several categories and each has its particular favorite for my own particular reasons. I have already overstayed my welcome, so will simply add : Thank-YOU!!
Hi Ellen. I can’t imagine those papers have survived. One was comparing American and Japanese political cartoons during WWII. The other was for an art history class, where I dissected the medium itself. It would be fun to reread them.

It’s been a busy news week, and as usual it’s kept the cartoonists busy! Luckily for us, our friend TokyoSand has also been busy picking out the best of the best. Just the thing for a Saturday afternoon! Thank you, TS!
TokyoSand, well done. These are funny, as well as sad, because of the element of truth. We have a president with an autocratic bent with a fact-starved, percepton focus. What could possibly go wrong? Keith
Thanks, Keith. As we’ve found, everything can go wrong with one wrong president. The silver lining is all the people who have gotten back in the game and started taking some action. They’re my kind of people.
Many thanks. Let’s hope people get out and vote. We cannot have people protesting his win if they don’t. He is actually counting on people staying home. Keith
These were all excellent, but I have to admit the Andy Marlette ‘toon made me laugh aloud! Thanks for these … you’ve chosen well, as always!
There were so many this week. I had to cut a bunch to make it manageable. Glad you liked them!
I’m sure! But, the ones you picked were great!
👍🏼👍🏼
