DarylCagle.comWith the ups-and-downs of the stock market over the last couple of weeks, and the threat of a double-dip recession looming, those close to retirement have been getting queasy every time they look at their 401(k) statements.
Check out what cartoonists think of the whole mess with our new Wrecked Retirement cartoon collection.
The weak job market and Wall Street’s ups and downs dominated the news this week. People watched their 401k’s with nervous despair as the market responded to problems in Europe and signs that the U.S. might be headed towards another recession.

Catch-up on all the week’s top news stories through the eyes of the nation’s best cartoonists with our Cartoon Week in Review cartoon slideshow
Here is my New Years cartoon. Â First, I do a rough pencil sketch …
Then I do finished line art, also in pencil, but scanned as high contrast to look like I use ink. Â This is the image most people will see in the newspaper. Â My drawings are on 11″x17″ paper. Â I work bigger than most editorial cartoonists.
And then I color it in Photoshop for the few newspapers that print cartoons in color, and for the Web.
