Nope, not even in a private browsing(1) window in Firefox. Had to hack into the webpage source to find the image link.
(1) "Private Browsing", my favourite member of the army corps.

Maybe the Hobbits are blocking it.
As you saw from the page source, my site uses the most basic HTML5 coding with a little bit of Material Design dynamics JavaScript/CSS to resize the page for phone to desktop monitor sizes. The image is displayed using a standard <img> tag.
I have no idea why the image wouldn't appear.
I'm too cheap to buy the TLS certificate, so my pages use unsecure HTTP, not HTTPS.
I haven't changed the site coding in three years.

Curiouser and curiouser.
The cartoon loads fine on Chrome running on my Android phone, but the image is still inexplicably blocked on Firefox on my Linux PC. I'm beginning to think it just doesn't like me...
rummages around with settings
Aha! The issue arises when I switch to "Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows" in Firefox settings, or have the "HTTPS Anywhere" plugin enabled. When I turn off all HTTPS security checks, the comic loads. I'm guessing that the HTTP image link is automatically blocked even if the main website connection is upgraded to HTTPS.
So basically, to view Vicki Fox cartoons on my desktop PC I have to run with internet security shields down and disable secured browser connections. Yeah... nah.
