Boise Ed attempted to submit a Tundra comic, using a link from The Seattle Times. Reading between the lines of his comment (see below), the comic he meant was probably all or part of this one:
Here’s what Boise Ed wrote: He says “a while ago,” but I think the walrus joke appeared just a couple of days earlier. There doesn’t seem to be an accessible archive where I can check on that…. Is there any other source to see the Tundra strip?
The answer is (probably) “No, there isn’t.” The problem is that both The Seattle Times and the official Tundra website provide only the strip for the current day. Past Tundra archives are only available on a pay-to-view basis (to Patreon members). This means that any Tundra link sent to CIDU has an expiration limit of (at most) 24 hours, which renders those links useless for all practical purposes. Therefore, if you want to submit a Tundra comic, don’t depend on the link: send a screenshot, or attach a graphic file.
P.S. The same problem exists for all Arcamax comics. The Arcamax links are not quite so ephemeral, but they do expire after just a couple of weeks, so it’s not a good idea to use them for submitting CIDUs, nor for embedding any images in comments.
Comics I Don't Understand 
I don’t recall citing that specific Tundra. Do you have my accompanying comment (more than just “a while ago”)? One problem with the online-form submissions is that I get no record of said submissions unless you lot reply by email.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found any other online source for Tundra. Sometimes (including today), the Seattle Times fails to deliver it, but there’s no alternative that I know of.
@ Boise Ed – Your comment wasn’t just the “a while ago”: you wrote the entire section that I quoted in full (in italics) above.
If you are not satisfied with the reliability of the Seattle Times, the best place to go for Tundra is probably Chad’s website, to which I linked above: https://www.tundracomics.com (the daily comic is hidden all the way at the bottom of the home page).
I immediately got the top joke, even though I always thought they were singing “coo coo ka choo.” I can see it may be a bit of a geezer reference though, as the Beatles are before my time, and I’m in my 50s.
Before your time? The Beatles weren’t exactly some flash in the pan. :-)
Kilby (2): I was fooled by the close-quotation mark after “ago,” and the longer bit has totally flown the (memory) coop. As for the bottom of his home page, I’ll check that tomorrow, assuming that the Seattle Times shows the strip then.
On that home page, his fair booth says it’s in “hundreds of newspapers around the world.” I’d sure like to find one or two more of them.
@Grawlix: no, they definitely were not a flash in the pan, but they broke up years before I was born, so not exactly playing on top 40 stations and I wouldn’t expect people younger than me to necessarily be aware of lyrics.
@ Boise Ed (5) – Rechecking the Tundra home page reveals that it is “static”, with no evidence of daily maintenance. The “firefly butt” comic at the bottom is probably just a permanent sample. However, there is a “back door” to get current (and future) Tundra comics. It appears that newspapers are supposed to fetch the material themselves, from this “Tundra editor’s page“. Right at the moment you can read forward to September 7th, 2024.
P.S. Chad provides reference comments from a dozen different newspaper editors, but they didn’t help at all. Most of them are extremely small scale publications, one was a weekly, another one was a college newspaper, and one paper was shut down back in 2020. There’s nothing there from the Seattle Times, nor from the Anchorage Daily News, where the strip is supposed to have started.
Only two of those papers offer any sort of comics online: one belongs to Gannett, and (now) forwards to USA Today’s Comics Kingdom page; the other one links to GoComics. Not a single one of those papers shows any evidence that they currently carry Tundra.
It’s interesting that the “Tundra editor’s page“ links to five different Sunday strips, for Boulder, Chicago, Edmonton, Nanaimo, and Trenton.
I still sometimes choose Walrus as my hostname.
@ Boise Ed (8) – Even more interesting is the fact that the strip shown by the Seattle Times is not found anywhere in the .ZIPs on that “editor’s page”. Either they are getting a personalized feed just for them, or the Times is rerunning their own selection of strips (either colorized dailies, or clipped from Sundays). Given that today’s strip has neither a signature nor a copyright, I’m betting on the latter.
Kilby (10): That last is an interesting thought. Just now, I tried 08-12 to 08-24 PDF.zip and none of those were what the Times has shown lately.
I checked out Boulder, Chicago, Edmonton, Nanaimo, and Trenton newspapers last night, and couldn’t find any link to Tundra online (or any other comics, with one exception). Each of those has several other (probably all suburban) newspapers under them, but I didn’t go down that rabbit hole.
I checked out the different cities’ Sunday strips. They are all the same three comics, except that Nanaimo only has one of the three. The others have different arrangements and dimensions. Chicago and Trenton have the same arrangement and almost the same dimensions, but different title panels.
@ Boise Ed – Demonstrating that an author who syndicates his own strip has to do all of the necessary layout work himself, in order to ensure that each of the papers keeps paying for the material.
Boise Ed (at 1) — One problem with the online-form submissions is that I get no record of said submissions unless you lot reply by email.
Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll have a go at arranging for it to send a copy to the submitter’s declared address.
Sorry, that didn’t work.
However, while testing I noticed that after you send the form, the page refreshes to show you the summary of what you entered. Instead of immediately clicking the green “Go Back” link, use your browser’s menus to save the page, or mouse-scrape to copy the text.
For instance,
Mitch4 (15): Yes, or I could just do a simple screen capture, but then I’d wind up with a truckload of those. I like the idea of CCing the submitter. Either way, it’s not the end of the world.
Chemgal – Okay, that’s a surprise thought – I never thought of myself as a geezer before!
Then again my middle sister and my baby sister both know about the Beatles and the song and baby sister is a good bit younger than me – in her 50s also.
