We have lots and lots of Occupy Wall Street cartoons coming in these days (check out our cartoon collections here and here). It seems like the type of movement most cartoonists would be supportive off – a bunch of rag-tag troublemakers taking on the man, in this case the big banks and greedy Wall Street types already the subject of many cartoons (here’s my Occupy Wall Street cartoon).

I noticed that Washington Examiner cartoonist Nate Beeler wasn’t exactly taken with the protesters themselves, and filed back-to-back cartoons mocking them as jobless, ambitiousness anarchists more at home playing video games then following through with a political movement.

I asked Nate for his thoughts, and here’s what he wrote me:

“My office happens to be next door to the Occupy DC protest at McPherson Square, so I get to experience these guys every day.

I certainly share the protesters’ outrage over the sleezy conduct of the big banks, but I can’t support their politics. I went to college, worked together at the school newspaper and was friends with these people — only then they weren’t as well organized, had more anarchists in their midst and were protesting against the WTO and IMF.

There are plenty of reasons to be ticked off at Wall Street, but I don’t think the solution to the nation’s economic problems lies in what we’ve already tried, which is more government. And yet, that’s just what the protesters are calling for when you get down to it. So, I sympathize with the “Occupy” crowd, but I think they’re terribly misguided and out of touch with the real world.”

 Below are more of Nate’s Occupy Wall Street cartoons. What do you think of the protests?

With the Occupy Wall Street movement in full swing, some politicans can't understand why protesters are so angry at the nation's largest banks. I guess the notion that Wall Street's actions wrecked our economy and made millions of people poorer doesn't occur to them.

So who drew the best cartoon, Pat Bagley of the Salt-Lake Tribune, or Spanish cartoonist Kap of PoliticalCartoons.com?

My Australian cartoonist buddy, Nik Scott, reminded me that Apple’s Steve Jobs was a Buddhist, which makes the many heavenly cartoons that were drawn after his passing rather, erm … off the mark?  That’s Nik’s take in the cartoon at the right.

We often see editorial cartoonists imposing Christian imagery on non-Christians when they die. (After all, only one religion can be right, huh?)  Comedian George Carlin, a famous atheist, found a Christian heaven in many editorial cartoons. When Beatle George Harrison, a Hindu, died, the editorial cartoonists drew dozens of cartoons with George showing up in Christian heaven.

Perhaps it is insensitive to impose your own religion on someone else when they die – but what the heck - readers and editors love it. Among the cartoonists we syndicate, the Jobs Pearly Gates cartoons were the most reprinted.

After initially disappointed many fans, the iPhone 4S is proving to be a popular draw. Orders have already surpassed 1 million in the first 24 hours, beating Apple's previous one-day record of 600,000 sales for the iPhone 4.

So who drew the best cartoon? Nate Beeler of The Washington Examiner, or Cam Cardow of The Ottawa Citizen?

As the Occupy Wall Street movement moves into its fourth week, the number of protesters showing up every day continues to swell. Many in the media have called it the left's tea party, while some have tried to delegitimize the protester's opinions by casting them as do-nothing college kids who are incoherent, disorganized and silly.

So who captured the protesters best? John Darkow of the Columbia Daily Tribune or Nate Beeler of the Washington Examiner?

Readers were divided about this Steve Jobs cartoon by Dutch cartoonist Hajo de Reijger. Some of you thought it was funny, even poignant. But most thought it was tasteless and unnecessary.

“I didn’t know Steve personally,” Hajo emailed me.  “I know his products, and they’re great!  But for me Steve Jobs is a human being that died. He was not the Messiah. His image did not appear on my toast this morning.”

We received a lot of feedback about it, and here are just a sampling of your comments:

Raul: I don’t like it. It shows a poor taste. However, is easy to see the irony on it. I think Jobs deserves a clever attempt to mock him.

Joann Betschart: iDisgusted.

Scott Bolderson: iGiggled. Life’ll kill ya’. Can’t take it.

Dennis Jasinski: Death is a fact of life….one that Steve Jobs himself faced with humor and tenacity. My favorite comment on his death was iSad.

John Tyrrell: iLOLed.

Nina Maya Cording: I think it’s reducing Steve Jobs to mainly those 3 devices he made popular in the last few years although it was so much more.

Nicola Stratford: Oh, come on. Our culture is so PC these days. If the cartoon has read igone or ipassed or some other euphemism, I’ll bet there’d be no debate. idead is the truth using the word that means just that; it’s not disrespect.

Judy Masterson Blandino: Thumbs down…deserved more creativity than that.

Dee Dee Merritt: If your living you are going to die, dont take it to seriously, I like it.

Clvex: It’s neither fair nor foul because there’s no real joke there. It’s not harsh, it just fails to find a punch line in that final panel. It’s a non sequitur.

Jennifer Bourne: I thought it was funny and poignant at the same time: he pioneered wonderful inventions and now he’s gone.

We’ve had a lot of Steve Jobs obituary cartoons come in. And I mean a lot (view them all here). Obituary cartoons frustrate political cartoonists – most hate to draw them, but readers love them. With a public figure so important to modern culture and universally liked and admired, it’s almost obligatory that a cartoonist notes his passing.

It’s interesting to track our analytics and see which cartoons are getting shared more, and which ones are the most popular. According to our numbers, here are the five most popular Steve Jobs cartoons from the last couple of days.
