Each week, POLITICO curates a gallery of editorial cartoons from around the country and across the political spectrum, edited by staff cartoonist Matt Wuerker.
Editorial cartoonists regularly distill the week’s political headlines into sharp visual commentary. POLITICO’s recurring Cartoon Carousel gathers a selection of these works and presents them as a weekly gallery. The roundup emphasizes variety in viewpoint and geography, reflecting the broader ecosystem of American editorial cartooning.
The feature draws on the familiar language used in POLITICO’s introductions—cartoonists capturing foibles, memes, hypocrisies, and other headline‑making moments—and it has described the picks as a best‑of‑the‑week pulled from the broader “Toonosphere.” The package is edited by Matt Wuerker, POLITICO’s staff cartoonist, and appears on a regular weekly cadence.
