Hello Everyone. First two notes before I do the cartoons. One I have not replied to comments in a week of so. I was not up to it and busy. But I should be able to start replying this after noon and tomorrow. Don’t worry if I don’t reply right way. I do love to hear what you all have to say and enjoy reading them.
The other thing is a few people have said that some of the cartoons don’t display and that the link is broken. Barry in New Zealand is an IT expert who has sent me an email on it. I will post it after this for anyone that can use the method he describes. These cartoons are all from the same site the one that Barry tells me is the one that the links are broken unless he uses a VPN. Cagle.com, and that is sad because those are some of the best ones. I have been posting them in the classic mode. This batch of cartoons will only be from the Cagle site but I will do it on the block editor mode to see if that will solve the problem. Plus I will be posting two versions of each one to see if that makes a difference. I just realized that there may be a way to embed them that automatically does to the URL what Barry suggested after the first two. One thing that would help is if the cartoons don’t display for you leave a comment and let me know the country you are in. Thank you. Best wishes for all and hugs for those that want them.
Hi Scottie. Not sure of this helps, A large number of image links are broken and won’t show unless I use a US hosted VPN, as I have described before. But I have found another way, and that is to slightly modify the URL:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299916/830/becs_robert-f-kennedy-jrs-hobby-.png?ssl=1
is a broken link. Trying to open it directly results in the message “We cannot complete this request, remote data could not be fetched”, but truncating the URL to:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299916/830/becs_robert-f-kennedy-jrs-hobby-.png
and bingo! Just chopping off “?ssl=1” is all it takes to allow the image to display correctly. Likewise, changing:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299938/830/rick-mckee_avoiding-the-state-of-the-world.png?ssl=1
to
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299938/830/rick-mckee_avoiding-the-state-of-the-world.png
allows that image to display. All the broken links are the same: All begin with “i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com” and end with “?ssl=1”
Now for the cartoons
