This Week's Sneak Peek

Is anyone else out there experiencing the same sort of hurdles I've been running into when trying to upload stuff to web-based apps?

I still find that I can only upload cartoons to this Blogger site if I sign in on in incognito mode. In regular mode, I can sign in, type text, check for comments and stats, etc. Trying to upload any kind of file, however, I get a new window asking me to sign in to Google again, then the upload window — but nothing uploads. It doesn't matter whether I use the Chrome browser or the Edge browser.

In incognito mode, instead of the new sign-in window, I get a window asking permission to authorize cookies, and a second window asking me to be more specific. Then the upload window opens, and it has worked so far.

I haven't tried signing in on a different computer except in incognito mode (I don't want a strange computer saving my log-in info). I could see whether I could upload files here from my phone, except that I don't scan cartoons to it.

Blogger isn't the only site where I'm encountering this. At work, where I use Stripe, Wordpress, and a congregational management program called IconCMO, I've had to start using each one in incognito mode for full functionality. (In the case of Stripe, for any functionality at all.) There I have Foxfire and Safari browsers on an Apple IOS; I have had the same experience using Wordpress and IconCMO from home.

In case you've been jonesing for editorial cartoons from 1924 these last couple of weeks, D.D. Degg at Daily Cartoonist highlighted a series of cartoons printed in the San Francisco Bulletin. They called it a "Symposium by American Cartoonists," and it featured a few editorial cartoonists I've included in some of my Saturday Graphical History Tours — William Hanny of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Grover Page of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and Ted Brown of the Chicago Daily News — plus some others who have not yet joined the tour.

The Bulletin apparently intended for the feature to continue, but dropped it after the second week.

Perhaps they hadn't known when to expect their regular editorial page cartoonist, Douglas Rodger, back from vacation or sick leave?
