    Hello, O Patient Readers!

      Just curious why the emailed version is a single panel of the strip and requires a visit to the site? Not that I mind visiting the site, but I thought the email would include the whole strip for the day.

        Chris Muir

        Because the damn code kinda sorta works and isn’t an effective tool for now.argh.thanks for hanging in there though,Bob! 🙂

    • October 10, 2014 at 10:15 am

      Just bookmark it. Works great, read it every morning. Good stuff.

        It’s part of my stable of ~25 permanently open tabs in FF, so it’s always just a click away.

      Chris, it’s okay man. I think it’s working now. But as long as I can visit the site and get my daily visit with my beloved Sam I’m happy.

    When I click on the strip, it takes me to http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/www.daybydaycartoon.com, which seems wrong. Maybe that’s the source of some of the problems?

      Kristophr, is that a nice term for a liberal? 🙂

      • October 11, 2014 at 2:40 pm

        It’s a very sarcastic term for an internet leftist.

      • October 13, 2014 at 2:04 pm
        Alan

        Jane, that’s just a very specific subset of liberals. Typically ‘way more aggressively offensive and less influenced by logic than average average liberal neighbor/coworker. So no, not a nice term, but earned.

  • October 10, 2014 at 1:45 am

    For years I got the entire cartoon in my email, since maybe 2007? 2008? Now I get a small graphic, maybe an inch square instead. I have to click on that to go to the website to see the whole thing. I know it drives traffic to your site, but is this what you really intended? A thumbnail in the email instead of the day’s cartoon?

    • October 10, 2014 at 8:17 am
      Chris Muir

      It’s not meant to drive traffic, it was meant to be a convenience for readers.With all the variations of platforms out there, it’s more of a pain than anything else these days.

    Got no idea how the whole switch is working on my desktop Mac back in the ‘States, Chris, but here—currently—in North Yorkshire, U.K., on my gmail account and iPadMini it’s working fine. The Memsab and I are on the “bucket list” extended European tour we always swore we would take after we both retired. Got to Europe mid-August, returning…mid-June. Been to see our expatriate daughter and electrical engineer Son-in-Law in western Germany, to Bornholm in the Baltic, Scotland, Skye & Harris in the Hebrides, and now we are in the north of England for a oouple of months. Back to Germany for Thanksiving and then a tour of Eastern Europe—Dresden in the former DDR, Warsaw & Cracow in Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic. Germany again for the Holiday Season and the Christmas markets, back to Britain, and then down and over to a little rented villa in the countryside of Tuscany for Italian Spring in April and May. A week in France near Reims in Provence’ in early June and then home to nothern Idaho. Meanwhile, eschew the hassles of code and get back to being the hipest, most-connected political cartoonist in the U.S., because we DBD junkies/temporary expats need our Day-By-Day fix to keep us up-to-date and linked in. You ‘da Man!

    All this embedding mismatch is interesting, but not a problem I have. The strip no longer comes to me as email. I receive a thumbnail that when clicked brings me here. The thumbnails don’t forward well, some on my list get them and most don’t. I can come here, select and copy the strip. Paste it in my email and that forwards just fine. Just not the additional work I want to do. I’ve introduced several dozen to the strip who now have the same problem with their subscription as I.

    I resubscribed which at least got me the thumbnails. Should I unsubscribe and try again?

    • October 10, 2014 at 8:14 am
      Chris Muir

      No, it’s unlikely to work again there…we’ll revisit this again next year after the next fundraiser.Maybe a newer version of code will be out there.

    Just a reader. Just using the word “awesome” is so 30, years ago.
    I’m completely satisfied with this site. It makes one think. It probably makes a liberal confused, or other mental inability.

    Great job, and Great site. I looked up synonyms for “Great”, and they all are STUPENDOUS!

    Hey, I’m just a burned out fish biologist in the PNW. Born and lived here for nearly 58 years. The direction of Oregon government has gone bad. Kitshaber is a Commie. I’m just hiding out in the bushes near the central coast. There are reasons to not sneak up on me. Don’t ask me why I said that.

      Sarthurk,

      That’s why the missus and I ended up in Montana. We had a small spread on the South Umpqua, s/o Myrtle Creek, but left when we retired. Too many old hippies running the state from Eugene and Salem. Kitz was a doctor in Roseburg before his first – and now second, I take it – turns as the head socialist of Oregon. Love the fact that his girlfriend (whatever happened to his wife?) admitted to marrying an illegal alien for the $5000 he paid her. Kitz is too HUA to be embarrassed, though.

      In the mountains here, we can see for a looong way, and if they can even find us, I have similarly “prepared” friends not too far away who will help welcome them.

    I read via feedly (RSS reader); used to see the full-sized cartoon in my feed, but now see only a (right-shifting) snippet of the day’s cartoon (firefox and chrome). I just click thru to read the whole thing, so this is more FYI..

    I suspect the feedly crew needs to update something(?)…

    Chris,
    Like ‘Keatonmac’ above, DBD has been on my ‘Favorites’ listing and has been read in that venue since 2002(?).
    I have no need for the emails since DBD is a daily morning computer task.
    If it will save you some bandwidth, please feel free to cancel my emails as I don’t use them to read DBD.

    I’ve been a loyal fan since we got together to try to figure out a way for you to break into the dead tree market (boy, was that a long time ago). Just wish I had the extra bucks to help market your strip where it’s needed most. As it is, I too, visit every day, and share often. Keep it up, you ‘ol contrarian you!

    Stumbled across your site many years ago. I cannot express the pleasure this strip brings. I stay up every night to read the latest (after midnight Pacific time). Share it with all of my friends. I used the emails as my personal offline archive. Oh well….

    I’ve always just go to my bookmarks and go directly to this site for my daily dose of DBD. The few times I’ve posted your ‘toon on my (pretty much dormant now) blog, you’d stop by to post a comment. I felt honored that you’d take the time to swing by a fledgling blog in the heydays.

    Keep up the great work! You’re always ahead of the curve… and the curves… and sometimes even behind the curves… yes, yes, keep it up with those curves. 😉

    Is there a “Day By Day” forum where we can get together to talk about DBD-related things? I’ve been working my way through “Evolutionary Psychology” (a FREE download on Amazon, BTW) and would enjoy having a chance to discuss questions, observations and possible insights with fellow readers.

    Chris,

    I have your cartoon on my desktop which I check out every day and have for years. Keep up the good work…UC ’76 :).

    ummm, what about going back to the “old” host? No idea if that is even possible, but…

    None of your imbed codes will work on my Blogger blog, but I improvised by grabbing “pop-out-image.jpeg”, available at the dbd embed address and then adding a link back to dbd. check it out here.

    RSS works fine, as it has for me for years. REALLY enjoy the strip, one of the few things I make sure I read every day. Keep up the great work Chris! Sorry the new platform is being such a PITA….

    Originally got here via LawDog, many, many moons ago. Of course, ya can’t really start in the middle of a strip, so I went back and started at the beginning. Been reading ever since.

    Recently went back and started back through from the beginning. I think I’m up to about August of 2004.

    It was great then and it’s only better now. Keep up the good work, Chris!

    And like was said earlier, here on the left coast we can get it the night before if we stay up late enough! Yay!

    Word Press works well enough, but I’m not a big fan. Gotta click on the single panel before the “whole strip opens.” Even opens on my old iPod Touch 4.

    Keep after it and keep the insolent sarcasm coming. While our rights and country are being eroded, this administration has had to give you the BEST COMEDY MATERIAL EVER.

    I was using the email because I wouldn’t leave any traces on the company server. I could claim I didn’t know how to turn off the email.

    I will read from home. But now I need to watch out for the wife! 🙂

    Funny enough, I was unable to subscribe (in email) if I used my Chrome browser, but if I used FireFox, I could. Chrome kept asking me to log into my domain admin account — but FireFox had no problems – got the “If there’s new content, you’ll get an email” page.
