Message To Readers / Cartoon Size


Click cartoon to expand --- Click "page back" to return to blog
Several readers have mentioned that it's sometimes hard to read Hope n' Change Cartoons, which keeps them from sending them to friends who may have vision problems. The way Blogspot, our website host, works, the cartoons are displayed at a fairly small size - BUT if you click on the cartoon once, it will take you to a new webpage where the cartoon is huge and legible to anyone other than a hardcore liberal. If you'd like to copy and/or send the cartoon to someone, this is the best version to use.

Note that to return to the blog from the "big" cartoon, you need to use the "page back" button or arrow in your browser.

Confusing? Yes, a little...but not as bad as a 1000 page health bill. And because Hope n' Change is a labor of love, we haven't been able to invest the time or money into looking into other blog software options.

To the many people who have taken the time to share our cartoons with others, we thank you. And to everyone else, please know how grateful we'll be if you help spread the word! -Stilton

I shared many of them in FreeRepublic and many other forums.

Thank you, Philip. The basic strategy behind getting Hope n' Change Cartoons to grow is:

1) Try to create high-quality, timely cartoons
2) Hope that people with share them and tell friends.

As I've said before, the goal is NOT to make money...it's to inject a little humor into the conservative blogosphere, and to share some laughter (and occasional venting) with like-minded people.

Reaching the largest possible audience depends on people like you, so please know how much it's appreciated!

YES! This is just what I needed! Thanks! Now I can share with my 'Senior Mob' friends...just the right size!

Posey, the cartoons have always been "clickable" to get that larger size, but obviously it wasn't clear to readers how to do it. I hope your "Senior Mob" friends enjoy the larger cartoons, and that they pass them around too!

By the way, if there were any older cartoons that you wanted to send but didn't, you can find them using "Search Cartoons By Topic" in the left column, or by reviewing the Blog Archives.

Thanks for being a reader, and thanks for sharing the cartoons with others!

OK, but - the codes in "Properties" offer 's1600' or 's400' - 's400' is ALWAYS usable, but too small - 's1600' is perfect {what results when clicking to enlarge}, but unusable to transfer to sites which offer "Optional Image URL", or to utilize Blogger's picture upload function - any suggestions?

Also, I'm going to be posting your link on a couple of sites - one of which is a bunch of former Marines ...................... ;-)
