Joy of Tech points out that it’s been a little hard to keep track of the disasters raining down on us, much less to plan for them. People have been pointing out that you can say “What’s he done this time?” and everyone knows who you mean, but I think that’s a bit unfair. They […]
Telnaes points out that this isn’t the first self-betrayal in our history, and she could have gone back to the beginning of the nation and added the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which would seem particularly upsetting because they were written and passed in the lifetimes of the Founders. Then again, they were the […]
A couple months ago we asked you how we could improve The Daily Cartoonist. We added your suggestions to our To-Do list and today we are debuting a new theme that should resolve some of the most chronic pain points of our site. Things we focused on: There’s a couple more enhancements in the works, […]
For some odd reason which they seem unwilling to explain, Facebook has suspended our account. If you are used to seeing links from us there, be assured we are still here and are still posting regularly. If we are reinstated, you’ll see us back on FB. If not, we’ll all survive somehow. We’re hanging in. […]

We’ve created a quick 9-question survey to give us insights on how we might tailor our content and site to meet your needs and […]
Over the weekend our newsletter platform stopped sending our Daily Digest. I have escalated the issue with their technical team for resolution. I do not have an ETA on the resolution. I am also looking at alternative vendors. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please continue to check for updates directly. — Alan
Over the weekend our newsletter service stopped sending out our Daily Digest. I am aware of the issue and am working to restore service soon. Until then, I hope you will continue visiting TDC to catch up on D. D. Degg’s reporting and Mike’s Comic Strip of the Day. -Alan Update: Service is now working […]
As we’ve reported, Saturday night the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) announced their annual award winners at their convention in San Francisco. To the surprise and delight of us three here at The Daily Cartoonist, we, along with The Washington Post reporter Michael Cavna, The Nib cartoonist and publisher Matt Bors, and AAEC volunteer/organizer […]
You probably noticed ads appearing on the site today. After 18 years of TDC running very few ads, it might be surprising to see. Please be patient for the next couple of weeks while we try to find the right balance of ads (number and placement) we need to pay our bills. Thanks.

The newsletter will go out each morning around 9a/6a Eastern/Pacific time and includes a […]
Hey everyone. Today is a big day here at The Daily Cartoonist. I have the honor to announce two major changes: new ownership and unveil a new re-designed website. A few weeks ago, Andrews McMeel Universal and I finalized the purchase of The Daily Cartoonist. TDC is now an independent publication of The Daily Cartoonist, […]
Due to a bit of transmogrification The Daily Cartoonist will be down starting Thursday December 29, 2022 until Monday January 2, 2023.
The Daily Cartoonist (TDC) is in the midst of a disruption of sorts(that brief outage the other day was actually a sign of progress). The subscription service TDC used was dropped by Google earlier this year and we are in the process of getting it back up. The Google feed was a free service and, […]
Perhaps you’ve noticed the site has not been updated for awhile now. I certainly didn’t intend to go this long without mentioning something, but since several individuals have contacted me asking if I was okay or what was going on with the blog, I’m long overdue for some level of public explanation. The Daily Cartoonist […]
Last week The Daily Cartoonist hit the 10 year mark. I started the blog as an experiment in 2005 to better understand what was going on in the comic industry. I didn’t expect the blog to take off as quickly or become as popular as it did. At the height of its popularity it was […]
