Secret Identical Twins! Sure, Why Not?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because tell me why!

Okay, this is as well-handled a retcon as Muir has ever done. The problem is, that's a pretty low bar. As much as I hate Muir's politics, it's his crappiness as an artist that sets my teeth on edge. The world of Day By Day is a makeshift one, where bad ideas are cheerfully thrown together with little regard to making them fit. Watching Muir change characters' ethnicities and alter pasts at a whim, it comes through that he REALLY doesn't care about this part of a comic strip--creating a world. The thing is--that the part that's actually important. It's why this strip isn't the story of a bunch of people living in--well, Florida, apparently. It's a waltz of the Right Wing paper dolls.
