"I Mean--You Were An Incompetent Marketing Director At Mystery Business(tm), And You've Got This Web Thing Thanks To Your Daddy's Billions!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Shinsengumi.

As Muir broadcasts from the Square Planet, we pause to consider that it's once again being unwittingly telegraphed that none of our cast possesses anything that even aproximates a normal life. That, coupled with their horrible sociopathy, is a large part of what makes Day by Day such a terrible read. It's bad as comedy, bad as drama, bad as political commentary, and bad as art. And because he can work from his tiny bubble, tune out any criticism as "liberal bias" and absorb the desperate praise of right-wingers, eager to defend ANYTHING that agrees with them, Muir continues to churn out this streak of rat's piss, this daily serving of dog vomit, oblivious to the fact that he's a massive existential failure, an incompetent artist botching his own talking points.

And yes, I've said all of this before. But every so often, the strip's sheer mass of incompetence strikes me so much, I just have to comment on it.
