The current ones on http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com/ don't have any problem here; CTRL+ done twice (daily) or once (Sunday) is usually quite sufficient and no fuzziness appears. (I always return it to normal size using CTRL0). But that depends on the image type. It is apparently a PNG file at http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com/. But the image in https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1981/09/20 appears to be a GIF file. I have long-since forgotten any technical details I ever knew about image files. However, I would say that the PNG appears to be something that is drawn (and so scales well) while the GIF is a bitmap (which doesn't scale well). But, for all I know, they are both bitmaps, and the difference is in the HTML of the page they are embedded in. --=20 "Here lies the Tuscan poet Aretino, Who evil spoke of everyone but God, Giving as his excuse, 'I never knew him.'"
