Political cartoons for October 17

Friday's editorial cartoons include Tomahawk missile talk, the price of red meat, and the bestest boy reports from the Pentagon press room

This cartoon depicts a smirking Donald Trump with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a third man. Trump says, “I’ll be sending tomahawk missiles to the war zone immediately!” Zelenskyy responds, “Finally.” The third man whispers to Zelenskyy, “He’s sending them to Chicago, Portland, and California.”
