Multiple Australian newspapers publish recurring “Best of cartoons” roundup pages featuring work by their in-house cartoonists and illustrators. The provided items come from The Age (Melbourne), Brisbane Times, and The Sydney Morning Herald. Each listing is dated between May 5 and May 14, 2026, and each description follows the same template: “The news of the day as interpreted by our talented artists, illustrators and cartoonists.”

Across the sources, the core information is consistent: these are editorial cartoon selections or compilations meant to reflect and comment on daily news topics. The outlet names and publication dates vary by entry—some issues appear on May 5, May 6, and others on May 13 and May 14—indicating the feature runs repeatedly over the period.

No specific cartoon themes, artists, or referenced events are included in the supplied text. As a result, the synthesis focuses on what the listings describe uniformly: periodic cartoon roundup features that present the day’s news through illustration.
