The government shutdown grinds forward, with no end in sight and no deal on the horizon to bring together Republicans and Democrats. In other words, it’s a mess, which isn’t exactly new for Washington.
Gary McCoy’s shutdown cartoon, featuring a student complaining about schools not being closed, was our most-reprinted cartoon this week. Doug Plante’s boxing-themed cartoon – with both Republicans and Democrats bruised and battered – was also popular among editors.
I laughed at Pat Byrnes’ funny cartoon about Republicans and Democrats finally finding something to agree on – the full release of the Epstein files. Now if they can only find something to agree on to reopen the government.
Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
#1. Gary McCoy
