New Silicon Graffiti Video: Chris Muir — Living “Day By Day”

August 17, 2009 - 12:00 pm - by Ed Driscoll

Chris Muir, who’s been drawng the Blogosphere’s favorite daily cartoon since 2002 stops by for an interview in the latest edition of Silicon Graffiti. It’s a follow-up of sorts to the interview we did back in 2003 for Tech Central Station. In the new video, Chris explores how the cartoon began, how his characters have evolved over the years; how they’re adapting to life in the Obama era, and his thoughts on traditional newspaper cartoons.

One big difference between the two is that Chris’s cartoon is self-funded; note that while Chris is apparently winding down his fundraising drive, his tipjar is still open, and I’m sure he’d welcome your contribution.

And if you enjoyed this edition of Silicon Graffiti, click here for the back story; there are over 30 previous videos to watch.

    ‘never miss DayByDay. For those who’d like an alternative to Doonesbury and others of that ilk, try DayByDay: guaranteed big smile.

    Great interview! When Chris first appeared on the video, I was struck by how much he looks like Zed. Or, does Zed look like Chris??? It’s really very confusing. :)

    @MathMom. I think Zed =is= Chris, at least subconsciously. But since it’s a cartoon, there may be a certain fantasy element at work; it may be more accurate to say Zed is who Chris wants to be. (I don’t know his marital status; if there is a Mrs. Muir, is she as hot as Sam?)
