Grim News: Top 10 Political Cartoons of the Week

Economic uncertainty. Continued inflation. Medicaid cuts. Crackdowns on universities across the country. The internet being filled with AI slop.

Boy, the new seems grim and relentless. Which is why Monte Wolverton’s cartoon about the search for a glimmer of good news struck a chord with editors this week, topping our list of the most-reprinted cartoons.

Jeff Koterba also tapped into the unease over the economy in a cartoon about the death of the penny, which shockingly costs almost 4 cents per penny to make. Unfortunately, they will only increase the need for nickels, which run 14 cents each. Add that to the list of depressing news items.
