Chris Muir (born October 30, 1958) is a U.S. cartoonist who draws the daily web comic Day by Day. Prior to that, he drew a single-panel comic called Altered States for about 5 years for Florida Today (a Gannett newspaper).[1] Muir was born in Syracuse, New York and currently lives in Florida.
Day by Day is politically conservative. It is popular amongst conservative bloggers, and often mentions bloggers and blog posts. Muir cites the work of several other cartoonists as inspiration, including Gary Larson and Garry Trudeau.[2]
In February 2007, Muir visited Iraq and was embedded for five days in Mosul.[3]
