Chris Muir (born 1958) is a U.S. cartoonist who draws the daily web comic Day by Day. The strip has a decidedly conservative slant and often makes references to political weblogs. Prior to that, he drew a single-panel comic called Altered States for about 5 years for Florida Today (a Gannett newspaper). Muir cites the work of several other cartoonists as inspiration, including Gary Larson and Garry Trudeau. In February 2007, Muir visited Iraq and was embedded for five days in Mosul.

Quotes
- I was born a 45 year old conservative. But you know what? Conservative isn't even "conservative" anymore. It's a label for normal.
- Say what you like about dictators, but they do make cool architecture, blank check, etc. Here's that 'Pass of Swords' monument, though all I could think of was that song lyric, 'Big hands, you know you're the One'. What? You were looking for trenchant analysis? Sorry. C-A-R-T-O-O-N-I-S-T.
