Editorial cartoons for Jan. 5, 2020: New Year’s resolutions, Australia wildfires, anti-Semitism - OregonLive

Happy New Year! Father Time and the New Year’s baby, representing the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020, are the dominant images in this week’s editorial cartoon gallery.

Father Time had a rough year.

Editorial cartoonists depict him wearing a straitjacket, imparting a warning about Russian hackers, swigging from a champagne bottle, and as Uncle Sam with a walker and a long, white beard.

Baby New Year is drawn as Baby Trump, a kid with the measles, a wide-eyed babe mesmerized by election year balloons, and a throwback to Baby New Year 1936, when anti-Semitism was on the march in Europe.

Wildfires in Australia also are a theme in the cartoons this week. At least 19 people have died, dozens of people are missing and more than 12 million acres of bush have been burned. Climate change is being blamed for the hot, dry conditions that promote wildfires.

A man stabbed five people at a Hanukkah gathering at an Orthodox Jewish rabbi’s home Sunday in Monsey, New York. The assailant faces federal hate crime charges. It was the 13th anti-Semitic attack in New York since Dec. 8, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.

Other topics in the cartoons include Iran’s aggression in Iraq; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s delay in delivering articles of impeachment to the Senate; another threat from North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un; and an admonition from Teddy Roosevelt to Trump about speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

Cartoons were drawn by Bill Bramhall, Dan Wasserman, Dana Summers, Drew Sheneman, Scott Stantis, Walt Handelsman, David Horsey, Phil Hands, Joel Pett and Joey Weatherford of Tribune Content Agency; and A.F. Branco, Mike Luckovich and Michael Ramirez of Creators Syndicate.
