The Persistent Goose Asks Muir 'Why Do You Insist There Needed To Be Armed Fascist Goons On The Streets, Asshole?'

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Heroes of the Wild.

And as we are deep into 'Muir, after insisting that normal government is fascist tyranny, insists that fascist tyranny is normal government the moment the tables are turned', let's take a good long look at this absolutely wretched showing. It underlines one of Muir's biggest problems--he's a man who, lacking the virtues he professes, has to throw up twisted counterfeits in their place, and in moments like this, it shines through. This is a cowardly bully declaring that cowardice and bullying are the true displays of courage. A conniving thug mumbling that people have to be conspiring against him, as otherwise his conniving thuggery would work. A vicious man who hates the nation screaming that real patriot is being a vicious person who hates the nation, and is actively hurting anyone not like them.

And the best fucking part is this strip has aged like milk. Didn't get the memo that they were abandoning ICE, BP, and Bovino on this, ehh, Muir?

The Cringing Whine Trying To Mask Itself As A Triumphant Cry.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Silent Flyer.

Not only is this even more of a rushed job than the last one, it's blatantly pathetic to anyone not in the bubble. Muir's stuck on this shit, with no off-ramp, and he's desperately trying to convince himself this is a winning move.

Well, That Certainly Was A Strip.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Philo Vance's Secret Mission.

I assume he was in a hurry, because I can't otherwise explain why he made a strip that was not only a good 9-10ths reused assets, but included some choices like 'Stock Shouting Black Guy' that made no sense at all.

Does He Think The National Debt Is Resting In An Account Somewhere?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Philo Vance's Gamble.

I won't lie, as bad as the strip is, it's a bit of a relief seeing Muir finally noticing the national debt during a Republican administration, instead of just pretending it doesn't matter. Of course, that noticing is couched in paranoia, delusion, and a complete misunderstanding of government spending, finance and economic realities. But it all suggests that Muir's rapidly shifting into just abandoning caring about actual politics because 'conspiracy', and that cheers me.

"Son, A Woman Is Just Like... Ummm... A Refrigerator..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Philo Vance Returns.

Well, at least now we've moved to a more general brain-dead misogyny.

Muir Continues To Demonstrate He Doesn't Get Women.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Calling Philo Vance.

Won't lie, there's always a good chance when Muir goes into one of these weird rants that he hits a new vein of awful, and yep, this is one of those times.

Weep For The Imaginary Widow!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Trans-Atlantic Murder Mystery.

Aside from Muir's classic 'The imaginary thing that I wrote up demonstrates how right I am', it's that last bit about how they need to do this "electorally" that gets me. Not only is it meaningless gobbledygook, it comes on months--hell, years--of Muir dreaming about brutally purging the country of people who disagree with him. But this is another classic aspect of Muir--he'll get mealy-mouthed in his fascism at odd moments, and try to pretend that he didn't say what he said, or that it has some kind of special meaning that doesn't make it what it is.
