The Pope and pollen: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump generally dominates the headlines, but this week the news topics were all over the place, from taxes to far-off planets where scientists uncovered possible signs of life.

Our most-reprinted cartoon this week was Dave Granlund’s tribute to Pope Francis, who died this week at the age of 88. We had a number of cartoons about Francis, but Granlund’s depiction certainly struck a chord with editors.

Another popular cartoon was Dave Whamond’s funny take on pollen, proving once again everyone cares about the weather.

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

#1. Dave Granlund

Easter led the top cartoons a week ago, but the big story right now is the passing of Pope Francis. We did a special podcast with 125 Pope Francis cartoons and a discussion with cartoonist Taylor Jones who drew a whole lot of cartoons about the Pope. Come watch, this is a great one.
