"I Believe The Poor Should Be Killed Quickly And Humanely!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because got such a supple wrist.

We'll know Muir has finally lost it--or whatever remaining stores of 'it' he possesses--if he has Damon win.

Friday, December 30, 2011

"They Are Trying To Suppress The Glorious Newt Gingrich!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Black Death.

Muir's in a tough spot. Ron Paul is the present anti-Romney, but he has a bothersome antiwar record that makes proud miles glorious Muir recoil. And so he is most put out.

Thursday, December 29, 2011

"The Average Voter WANTS To Suffer For The Benefit Of The Rich!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because lemon-flavored.

So clearly, going out of your way to screw people over is VOTER GOLD!

To be fair the GOP has reached an unfortunate (from their POV) dilemma. Their policies are generally unpopular with the populace once they move beyond the slogan phase. But if they continuously cave on them, it alienates the Muirs, who are too stupidcrazy to realize these are bad ideas that would hurt them, and it makes them look weak to the "Independent" voters. And so they choose their poison...

Wednesday, December 28, 2011

"Why Can't It Be The Light Of Democracy That Iraq Is!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Fortnum!

And as Muir continues to rant his vaguely racist and exceedingly disgusting statements we see what right-wing talking points morph into in the echo chamber of one rube's skull.

Monday, December 26, 2011

"You Should Have Let The Evil Dictators Stay In Power!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sugar cookies.

Remember folks--the only real way to give democracy to an Arabic nation is to invade and force it down their throats.

Ah, Muir. Your evil and racism will continue into the future, deluding themselves that they are good.

Sunday, December 25, 2011

"Yeah! That's How Crazy And Evil They Are!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hear the angel voices.

...

...

And a Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Grinch.

Saturday, December 24, 2011

"I Regularly Shoot Off Beercaps With Them!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Edward Scissorhands.

Sometimes I wonder how Muir does it all--balances an absolute lack of talent, with an incoherant political philosophy, and his very odd fetishes. And then I realize I have better things to do with my time.

Friday, December 23, 2011

Thursday, December 22, 2011

"How UPPITY Of Him!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I've got wise blood like my daddy.

And Muir proceeds to prove the man's point for him. Way to go.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

"See! THEY'RE JUST LIKE EACH OTHER!"

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

Ahh, the old Muir standby, 'Strained Analogy Theatre'. It never fails to make we want to tear my hair out. Next up--Muir will show how the war in Iraq IS JUST LIKE a bar fight.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

"He's A COMMIE! A Foreign Commie"!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because burning out his fuse up here alone.

Ah, Muir, you evil little dipshit. You really think you know what the hell you're talking about...

Monday, December 19, 2011

"And Then He Turns On His Death Ray!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because eyesight to the blind.

The worst thing about Muir's Obama is that it bears no resemblence to the man as he is. He's simply a vague embodiment of evil, like the Antichrist of most PMD novels.

Saturday, December 17, 2011

NOW You're Against This?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because when they say 'America First', they mean 'America Next'.

Obviously, I'm not a big fan of the NDAA--in fact, I hate the damn thing--but I also know that poltics being what they are the chance of the damn thing not passing were... pretty slim. But Muir of course, knows this is Obama's evil masterplan. Never minding that he was cheering--with the occasional moment of sane doubt--as the groundwork that lead us to all this was laid down.

But then, they weren't scary liberals, who hurt Muir's fee-fees.

Friday, December 16, 2011

"Never Have I Seen Such Corruption!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jesus Malverde!

...

...

So... remember when Muir was cheerleading torture during the Bush years?

Thursday, December 15, 2011

"His Awesomeness Will Overwhelm All Others."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ahura Mazda.

I hate it when Muir forgets a punchline. Mind you, I also hate it when he remembers to put on in, but when he forgets the strip is always especially awful.

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

"Why, Chris Muir Could Do It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sing along with the Fifth Dimension.

...

...

And so, it continues. Oh, does it... continue.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

"Our Fake Presidency Run Will Change The World!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a star is sweetly gleaming.

...

Wow. It's like Pogo, or Bloom County, without the irony.

Monday, December 12, 2011

"Gosh, With This I Can Begin My Movement To End Corruption!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Babaloo!

Remember when Muir was going on about money laundering a few strips ago? Does he actually know what money laundering involves?

I suspect not.

Sunday, December 11, 2011

A Matrix Reference. Now. Huh.

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

And Muir continues in his rather pathetic delusion that he is one of the awakened few who understand the true reality, and sees the dangerous enemies who are in power. In this he rather resembles his neighbors down in Clearwater, the Scientologists. Though without the goofy space Emperor, which, let's be honest, actually makes Muir less fun. Indeed, reading this, I was struck by how, in this screed against progressives, Muir cannot be bothered to detail a single actual progressive policy. But then, that would require thinking, and Muir doesn't do that. He relies on his astounding instincts, which he is certain have never steered him wrong.

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Friday, December 9, 2011

"Why Aren't They Just Going Around Shooting Brown People?"

It's the Day's Days of Days! Because this is a rock.

Yeah. It's obvious they were doing all this to BE ILLEGAL, not to try and figure out how things work and try to trace things back to the moneymen. Nope, nope, nope. It's CORRUPTION, pure and simple.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

This Is Going To Be Painful.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my name is Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective-Lieutenant, Police Squad.

Oh, yay. Just what we need. Muir doing a Pogo...

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

"I'm The Leading Candidate For The Drunken Asshole Demographic!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Turgut Reis.

And once again, Muir's Imaginary Black Friend's triumphs over imaginary idiot liberals catapult him to imaginary fame.

The real joke here is that Muir thinks this shows how clever he is.

Monday, December 5, 2011

Muir--Still Failing History!

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

Actually, the Roman Republic--which was oligarchic in nature, not democratic--shifted to the Principate largely because of the actions of reactionary Optimates faction, who resisted any and all attempts to reform the nation, insisted their opponents were all trying to become dictators while appointing dictators, and--well, basically whittling down the options of anyone who wanted Rome to work to 'take over in a military coup'.

Of course, the other problem is that the Roman Empire went on to have it's GLORY DAYS during the reign of that despot Muir mentioned. Which is why idiots shouldn't try to use history to back them up. They usually don't know what they're saying.

"I Mean, My Predicative Abilities Are Amoozing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because shadows of Yog-Sothoth.

Ahh, yes. How many times has Muir put himself forward as a fine judge of morals, a man with his fingers on the pulse of tomorrow, all while demonstrating himself to be a lout and a bully, and a man who doesn't even know what's going on today?

Pretty much constantly.

Saturday, December 3, 2011

"He's A Total Loser!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because horses for courses.

"Yep--killing Osama bin Ladin, passing a Healthcare plan, overseeing the end of the conflict in Iraq--FAILURE! Also, his tanking of the economy under Bush, through time travel. MASSIVE FAILURE! What we need is that genius of success, Newt Gingrinch to take his place! Because NONE OF THIS IS OUR FAULT!"

Friday, December 2, 2011

"You Is A Bunch A Stinky BABIES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because pantheons of the megaverse.

Ahh. Nothing like watching Right-wingers trot out the old canard of how grown-up they are. I mean, denying all responsibility to others, and dreaming about beating random people up--that's adult, right?

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

"For The Upcoming Apocalypse, When President Blacula Sends His ACORN Troops Out!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my dog has fleas.

...

...

...

You know the horrible thing about this strip is that it posits clearly odd behavior as normal. With no realization that it is doing this.

Monday, November 28, 2011

Ugh.

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

Muir's desire to see brown people dead briefly outweighs his desire to hate the Obama adminstration, though the pair then combine in a manner that is just... sick.

Sunday, November 27, 2011

"We're Wired To Be Sexist Pigs, Babe!"

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

...

Only the couch? That man should be out in the backyard.

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Says A Fictitious Woman Who Has Never Been Potrayed As Doing Anything That Approaches A Working Class Existence.....

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because dum-di-dum.

And so the reactionary snorts in anger over facts that he has gotten wrong. (47% do not pay income taxes--but they do pay payroll and sales taxes, and indeed, through these wind up suffering a disproportinate tax burden.) How dare the poor not SUFFER cheerfully for the benefit of the elite! Clearly they did at our height! (Though in fact, they did not.) When we are willing to let the poor starve again, we will be a great nation once again.

So says the reactionary, foe of the social contract, and living embodiment of decadence.

"Yeah! That's What I'm Talking About!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in the middle of the night.

...

...

...

Help.

"See How Progressive I Am! The Woman Can't Cook!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in a strange coffee shot.

As I play catch up, allow me to state--beasrs with power tools.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

"Why We Could Even Disenfranchise The Poor Again!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because goofy gears.

Amazing how rightwingers can about face from "The Constitution is sacred and perfect," to "We need a new Constitution!" so quickly, with not even a stop at a more moderate position on the way.

Monday, November 21, 2011

"Thank Goodness Our Children Are Perfect Analogies For The Present Political Situation!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I've seen worse.

I'd never thought I'd say this, but poor John Boehner. Imagine plugging away, like a good little party hack, only to get an amazing promotion you never thought was coming--only to be picked apart by your party of backseat drivers. That has to hurt.

Doesn't mean I like the man, mind you.

Sunday, November 20, 2011

"Our New Walls of Text Protect You From Reality."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because feeling good, feeling fine, oh, baby, let the music play.

When exactly did American conservatism become a Gnostic religion, waging a ceaseless war against reality? Because if we could pinpoint that moment, we could pinpoint the moment that things in this nation started to go to shit...

Saturday, November 19, 2011

The Irony Is Palpable.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because they aimed for his heart.

Of course, Muir continues to insist that NOTHING untoward went on in Iraq during the Bush Administration, a matter that wound up blowing a lot more money, and you know--killling people. And the recession that started under Bush is clearly the fault of Obama. Through time travel. But remember--this teapot tempest is A BIG DEAL!

Friday, November 18, 2011

He Was Great In 'Barry Lyndon'.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Selim the Sot.

I think Muir has got to start limiting his off-panel speakers. He appears to be even confusing himself.

Thursday, November 17, 2011

"And That Message--Everyone Else SUCKS!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Magna Graecae!

Muir is always disappointed when Republicans don't decapitate the debate moderator and start snacking on the body...

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

"And Then He Whips Out His Schlong And Whizzes On Her!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Pyrrus of Epirus!

And as Muir enjoys his little fantasy of what the debates should be, we are once again reminded that it's dreadfully unfair of the media to act like Republicans and conservatives are accountable in any way, and that acting in this manner is simply more proof of how biased and unfair they are.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

He's Been Turned Into A Newt!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mine own.

Awww. Muir's got a new crush. Let's see how long it lasts. And remember folks--'social justice' is EVIL. It would mean that highly successful people like Muir would have to disgorge their millions.

Of course, Muir doesn't have millions, but he's sure he's going to one of these days...

Monday, November 14, 2011

Ummm... No.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jubjub bird.

And worthless shithead Newt Gingrich demonstrates that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about to plaudits of shitheads like Muir.

Sunday, November 13, 2011

"Walls and Walls of Text!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because shiny, happy people, holding hands.

Yep! OWS--EVIL! The present Republican candidates--unworthy wimps, who won't bomb France! The world--DOOMED!

Saturday, November 12, 2011

"Clinton! Clinton! CLINTON!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the sooner state.

Yep. Knew that was coming up, especially after Cain became Muir's substitute Palin. Let's see where this goes, shall we?

Friday, November 11, 2011

"It's A Lie! A Filthy Lie!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand.

Clearly, Obama is terrified of a black Republican he polls significantly ahead of. And standards are indeed so HIGH for Republicans--Palin is barred--and LOW for Democrats, as they can't be arrested for daring to run!

Thursday, November 10, 2011

"It Is Clearly A Plot To Disarm Real Murikans, And Give Their Guns To Mexicans!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Duke of Orange.

You know, I think one of the reasons that 'Fast and Furious' remains fairly low profile is that is ultimately the sort of murky failure you find in law enforcement, where good intentions, bad planning, and bureaucratic groupthink all collide to create nastiness. Muir really isn't interested in the actual 'Fast and Furious'--he's interested in the make-believe conspiracy by President Blacula to destroy civilization.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

"Still Clearly A Big Deal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in hallway ahead.

Yep. Yep. It's a conspiracy. It HAS to be. Yep.

Monday, November 7, 2011

"Meat REALLY Is Murder!"

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

Yes, Muir. You and those like you are the tough REAL men, and those opposing you are pathetic and weak. I mean--your fake self is a macho government sniper, and that proves how manly you are!

Sunday, November 6, 2011

"See! My Fake Black Conservative Easily Defeats My Fake Idiot White Liberals!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because angry birds.

Yep. Those stupid untermenschen, believing the lies their leader tells them. Why can't they be like Muir,who knows the truth as revealed by Fox!

Saturday, November 5, 2011

"We Thought You Said Penis!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because where was I?

You know, the famous SNL sketch "Dick-In-A-Box" is funny not simply because of the constant repetition of the phrase "dick-in-a-box" but because it's a spot-on parody of an entire musical genre and its weird ethos. This is just a bad attempt at a penis joke.

And if I want that, I can always watch Family Guy.

Friday, November 4, 2011

"They Are Vile Hoodlums!"

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

Of course, the Media is reporting this, but then to Muir's mind it doesn't count. The Media should be painting the OWS as a horde of lunatics, here to destroy civilization. The Media should be encouraging right-thinking people to head out with shotguns and baseball bats--just to make sure that things stay under control.

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Choose Your Poison.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Augustus!

So Muir charges that Romney is too elitist--by comparing him to an ingredient in a martini.

Let's all enjoy the irony, shall we?

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

"This Is OBVIOUSLY A Big Deal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Woody Guthrie.

And Muir shall continue to beat his latest pseudo-scandal until only atoms remain. At which point he will beat the ground on which it stood.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

"It's Completely Fake! Completely!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because River Ness.

So, the OWS are, simultaneously, dirty dumb hippies, vile racist Nazis and cunning stalking horses for the evil liberal media. Got it.

I wonder when he'll make them Martians.

Monday, October 31, 2011

"Foolish Puppets Of The Illuminati!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Francis the Talking Mule.

"Ha! They are not at all like our genuinely grass-roots corporate-backed Tea Party, and thus, are false!"

Sunday, October 30, 2011

"He's A Politician!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because old fashioned creme drops.

Ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of circular firing squads. Keep shooting, Muir. Purity of the Party is the true road to victory!

Friday, October 28, 2011

"They Fail To Understand Their Ordained Place In Creation!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the boy and the body.

Why does this sound like the sort of thing you'd hear from a demented serial killer whose keeping a body in the fridge?

Thursday, October 27, 2011

"I Have Rented 'War and Peace' And I Will Watch It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I have reached the eighth level!

You know, Guyovitch reminds me of the Russian Planeteer, whose Russianess consisted of a bad accent and saying 'da' and 'nyet' all the time.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

And If Russian Guyovitch Says They're Communists, They Have To Be!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because who knows?

So Muir's one argument against the Occupy Wall Street is to shout 'Commie, Commie, Commie!' over and over again. Nice.

You know--there's still a Communist Party in Russia. They're actually the second most powerful party in the Duma.

Just mentioning that.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

"Yes, Marxists! In The Employ Of Comintern, The Damned Bolshies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because your uncle was a great enchanter.

"But you fought for an America where the rich are free to abuse the poor, where the powerless may rest assured that the jackboot of authority will be slammed into their faces for all eternity, where words like 'tyranny' and 'war' mean the same thing as 'liberty' and 'peace'. And where lousy cubist pinup girls loll around in tubs endlessly!"

Monday, October 24, 2011

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Here's Hoping The Late Graham Chapman Rises From The Grave And Kicks His Ass.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because everybody called him the Fuh King.

Yeah, those weak liberals! They are all sheep, not like those individualistic Right-Wingers, who simply choose to follow the ramblings of Rush and Beck in lockstep.

Saturday, October 22, 2011

Friday, October 21, 2011

"They Also Don't Know They're Part Of An Insidious Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ramble on.

So, they don't know a) a fact that most Americans likely don't; and b) an assertion of nebulous value, and they believe something that, while untrue, is significantly less ridiculous than Muir thinks it is. (But Muir never pays attention to military spending, which he apparently views as magical, serving as no drain on our funds at all.) And so they deserve the scorn of Chris Muir, a man who believes that they are closet Nazis, under the heel of the Jewish conspirator George Soros.

Thursday, October 20, 2011

"You Are All Misled! I Know The Truth! It's The Illuminati!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because horns of dilemma.

Jeez, you'd think if Obama was the diabolical mastermind Muir paints him as we'd be a lot closer to the Socialist dictatorship Muir is certain he is trying to usher in. But this is always the reactionary's great problem--convinced of his opponent's utter depravity, he acts utterly depraved. Convinced that he is facing a gargantuan conspiracy, he forges a conspiracy to fight it. In becoming what he imagines his opponent to be he naturally runs into the problem of reality refusing to match his imaginings--but this only becomes more proof of his enemy's insidious power. And he runs into the problem that real depravity appalls onlookers, and real conspiracies are usually quite obvious. But as the reactionary has the support of much of the powers that be, he can continue sheltered from any severe fallback from his actions. Ultimately, however, things can only end badly. If the reactionary gains control of the government, he generally causes a national collapse. If he continues trying and failing, the constant escalation provokes either a revolution or a crackdown.

The USA, of course, has been lucky, both in its government and its freedom. And yet now, we face a horde of Muirs, men who do not believe in the process, and yet imagine they do.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

"He's A Diabolical Megalomaniac!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because shut up, Kraut.

And that is why we need an ultra-Rightist in power, who will respect the rights of the citizens enough to let the wealthy get all their money, AND invade the Middle East.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Monday, October 17, 2011

"It Needs More Power!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because make them eat dog food.

"It must veer completely to the Right! And if that means it goes off the road--then we will build a new road! Out of the bones of poor people!"

Sunday, October 16, 2011

"Walls And Walls Of Text Will Protect Me!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because let me in.

So, Muir follows an accusation that Occupy Wall Street Protesters are like Nazis--by saying they are in the pocket of the evil George Soros. Who is Jewish, a fact Muir is apparently ignorant of. And then, Muir, who insisted that the Tea Party is a big deal, insists that the sizable crowds that the movement is gathering don't count, because, well they aren't that big. (Why is this not true of the Tea Party? Because one conservative is worth a hundred liberals, of course.) And wrapping it all together--enviromentalism bashing, multicuturalism bashing, and boomer bashing. (Or more exactly, bashing all the boomers who couldn't be like Muir and simply do what they were told.)

It's fascinating, really, watching Muir throw everything against the wall in his ongoing effort to remind himself that he's the smart, good one who knows what's happening. Not like his stupid, evil, lazy opponents.

Saturday, October 15, 2011

Friday, October 14, 2011

The Mandated Beta Couple.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jim Broadbent.

What is their relationship built on, again? Aside from plot necessity?

Thursday, October 13, 2011

"Vague Buzzwords. That's The Ticket."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Don John of Austria.

Because clearly, the one precludes the other.

To be fair, I somewhat doubt Muir is even aware of what he means here. So let's just sit back and... enjoy the not-racism, shall we?

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

"The Blind Fools! Surely Only The Black Hundreds Are Worthy Of Their Money!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my name is red.

Of course, Muir's... "grassroots" heroes the Tea Party is also funded by millionares, but that is to serve the glorious cause of making sure that millionares become billionares, which is proper, and right.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Monday, October 10, 2011

Maggots Fighting In A Corpse, And Other Pleasant Sights.

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

Ahh, see them turn on each other. Unsurprisingly, Muir is offended by one of the first times on record when Erikson says something... well, less inane than usual.

Sunday, October 9, 2011

"Those Damn British, And Their War Of Northern Aggression!"

It's of the Day of Days! Because Derek Jacobi.

Well, even Muir seems to understand on some level that his version of American history is crap, a sad costume game with no basis in reality. But it's largely subconscious--this just another chance fof more cubist cheesecake. And of course, Palin-boosting. Because remember--a conservative is never at fault. They always have an excuse. Personal responsibility is something to bludgeon those wimpy liberals with.

Saturday, October 8, 2011

"Why Did You Dare Criticize Our Glorious War?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Rats of NIMH.

"Well, for a start, your representation of the issue is simplistic in the extreme, and indeed, often simply wrong. What's more, your efforts to create moral equivalency--or even superiority--for the Bush administration ignore that by the utilitarian measure you seem to be invoking, the Bush wars were more damaging. Of course, you are also ignoring that the war in Iraq was, by most measures, unneccessary, and based on false premises, but that's to be expected. So, have a nice day, you smug, self-righteous shit. And hope you never suffer real persecution, because frankly--you can't handle it."

Friday, October 7, 2011

"This Is All A Big Deal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Batphone!

And so Muir continues to run his hamster wheel of self-validation, where the fact that the conspiracies he's sure exist recieve so little play are proof of how true they are. He knows that Obama is a sinister plotter, plotting sinister. He has to be.

Thursday, October 6, 2011

I'm Going To Bang My Head Against The Wall Now...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the vessel with the pestle holds the pellet with the poison--the chalice from the palace holds the brew that is true.

...

...

Does Muir flip a coin to decide which tack of crazy he's going to be taking today?

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

"And Let's Not Forget Stonewall Jackson And His Dinosaur Calvalry!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because iko iko un day.

Muir's lack of historical know-how is so glaring that even his readers have caught him up on it. Louis XIV was the Sun King, so called because he was the absolute monarch of the most powerful nation in Europe--his many-times great-grandson Louis XVI was the monarch overthrown in the Revolution who was married to Marie Antoinette. (Marie was also certainly innocent of causing the French deficit, and was hated because she was, to the eyes of most French, a dirty foreigner. The actual deficit had many causes, most notably, financing the American Revolution.)

Of course, Muir doesn't really care about facts--like any good Black Hundred member he knows that once the dirty liberals are beaten up, all will be well.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

"Her Decadence Is Outrageous!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Albrecht von Wallenstein.

Muir continues his tortured, nonsensical "Obamas as French aristocrats" theme. His bizarre back and forth from phony populism to blatant elitism are fairly typical of the doublethink that has overtaken the Right these days--they don't want to let liberal bluebloods take away the hard-earned millions of regular Joes like you. And of course, in the background lurks the notion that "those people" don't have the right to be successful.

Monday, October 3, 2011

Sunday, October 2, 2011

And Shakespeare Wept.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fly like an eagle.

And once again Muir whines about the mote in his brother's eye while not noticing the log in his own. AND he mangles one of the English-language greatest writers while he does it.

...

...

It's going to be a long election year.

Saturday, October 1, 2011

"Just Like A Nazi! I Mean It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because pigeons from hell.

"I mean it! Just like the Nazis! And that's why I think the Tea Party needs a paramilitary wing! To protect us from harm!"

Friday, September 30, 2011

"How Dare He Steal From Impoverished Multbillionares!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because or my name's not Boris Karloff.

And we come once again to Muir's sociopathic repitition of the concept that tax is theft, and that the wealthy don't have obligation to anybody. Because to a reactionary, the social contract is only an agreement by the police to keep down "those people" so that the better folk can live in peace.

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

"It's All Just Nonsense! Like This Gravity Crap!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in a big country.

And suddenly it all makes sense. Muir is psychotic, unable to make a connection between actions and their results. This is why he can deny scientific consensus exists, and why he can keep supporting self-destructive policies.

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Yes, Muir, There Is Such A Thing As Scientific Consensus...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because this is the life.

As usual, Muir, in his efforts to demonstrate that his disbelief in global warming is true and proper and proof of how clever he is, demonstrates that he has no idea what he's talking about.

Monday, September 26, 2011

Ho-Hum.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because moving forward, using all my breath.

Why is this another display of how 'not-racist' the Right is? It is! It is!

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Your Daily Dose Of Misogyny!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's the cast of Straw Dogs.

Well, I agree with one thing--Sam doesn't represent American women. Largely because she's a grotesque little pinup.

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Friday, September 23, 2011

Russian Guyovitch! You Rogue!

It's the Days Day of Days! Because did the body move?

Well, it looks like we're going to be looking at a lot of das and nyets in the future...

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

"They're Just Like The You-Know-Whos!"

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

Yeah. Yeah. Writing an unpleasant book about a major political figure is just like being a Nazi. And there is nothing tasteless about saying that. At all.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Like Martin Luther King. If He Were A Fictional Character Created By A Conservative White Guy!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because by Zeus!

"Yes, a dream that Blacks will join Whites in delusional, self-destructive reactionary voting, until at last we can all join hands and say, 'Free Through Tyranny at last, Free through tyranny at last!"

Sunday, September 18, 2011

Saturday, September 17, 2011

"And Remember--That's Obama, Not B-U-S-H."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because John II Sigismund.

Muir continues to display his remarkable gift to turn even the vaguest hints of impropriety into full-blown scandals--when it involves a Democrat--Republicans must be given the benefit of the doubt, of course. It also appears that the radical freedom for the wealthy he supports, does not include supporting the Democrats.

Friday, September 16, 2011

"Ha! That Evil Fool! Depriving Our Masters Of The Blood Of Children!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Frank Waxman!

Boy, that Obama! He refuses to take credit for the economy his predeccessor destroyed, and won't admit allowing the rich to pay even less taxes, while sticking it even more to the poor is the answer! That self-decieving buffoon!

Thursday, September 15, 2011

"She's So Uppity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because objects in mirror may be closer--OH, CRAP!

Yeah. I remember when Muir was oblivious to Bush's vactions. But then, he was a white Republican, not a black Democrat, who must be there due to a mistake. And so we go one, as the reactionaries wave their flags, sneer at the "decadence" of justice, and applaud the strength of tyranny, as they convince themselves that a past that never existed holds our salvation, and that their opposition to the founding principles of our nation represent the greatest patriotism ever known...

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

"Yeah, They're So Lazy. Now, Think I'll Just Lay Here..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because halleuah, I'm a bum.

This is a story about Republican voters, many who live in states that recieve a surplus of federal government funds to stay solvent--more than they pay in taxes--who bitch about the "parasites" on the dole as they receive the Social Security checks, and who in essence feel that everyone is getting an easy shake, except them. They are, of course, the greatest patriots in the world.

If you use a certain definition of patriotism.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

"I'm So Angry I'll Sit In This Same Position!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I can feel it.

As usual, Muir gives a rather mangled version of the story, and manages to demonstrate his rather tenuous grip on reality. And his ability to xerox panels.

Monday, September 12, 2011

"Evil Liberal Media! Spanish! HATE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I want you to make him a dead man for the rest of his life!

"When will Romney learn--the only reason we look bad is because everyone is out to get us!"

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Yeah.... Yeah...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because what the hell?

"Wodka"? "Wodka"? Is he FREAKING ENSIGN CHEKOV?

Yes. Yes, he is.

Saturday, September 10, 2011

Ha... Ha...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because jumping Jehosphat!

And we continue in "sitcom from hell" mode...

Friday, September 9, 2011

"Take That, Russian Guyovitch!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't worry--I know what I'm doing.

You know, this is been a grand demonstration that it isn't just Muir's politics or drawings that are crap--he gets every aspect of his professed art wrong. This whole storyline has been badly done--the panels have been lifeless, and poorly staged.

I keep wondering when the guy's going to reach peak awful. Probably never...

Thursday, September 8, 2011

"People Want Bullshit!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fresh fish.

"People are hungry for REAL patriotism--being a white know-nothing who understands that wars are great, and that we have to keep THOSE people in line! Actually trying to fix things doesn't count!"

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Face, Meet Palm...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Prince of Darkness grim--we do not tremble for hiim.

There's a sad sort of pathos in a man with no insight to the human condition whatsoever trying to fake it.

Monday, September 5, 2011

"He Clearly Doesn't Mean Us!"

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

"I mean--it's clear that our handful of tame scientists are the honest ones, and our faith in the idea of Christianity--but not Jesus' actual message, because, EWWW, he likes poor people!--is perfectly sane and rational. And who can dispute snake-handling?"

Sunday, September 4, 2011

"Man, Those Were The Days!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Deer Park.

You know, there's something sad about watching modern rightwingers trying to operate as a reflection of the WWII generation. Largely because they're a funhouse mirror reflection--a grotesque failed copy, with none of the values. And they'd don't even realize it.

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Well, That Answers My Question.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because active ingredient--sodium fluoride.

Also, Muir has apparently given his pidgin-speaking creation a facelift.

Friday, September 2, 2011

More Static Panels. Joy.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Darkstar!

Muir really thinks of himself a successor to Milt Caniff, you know. It's really quite sad.

Also--Russian Guyovitch returns. Joy. Now we get to see if Muir knows any Russian words besides 'da' or 'nyet'.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

"How Dare Zey Ztrike Against The Master Race!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't look, Marian!

Ah, yes. Like Muir, who produces a lousy cartoon. And is thus vital to the economy. Somehow.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

"They Have Snu-Snu!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the ride to Dubno!

Yeah. The funny thing is Muir thinks this is all part of Skye's ongoing redemption from evil liberalism.

Sunday, August 28, 2011

He's Just Like A Roman Emperor!

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

Of course, the leading general of the Jewish uprisings Muir mentions wound up writing the history of them as the client of a Roman Emperor. And in point of fact, the Zealots killed more Jews than Romans, and wound up loathed by nearly everyone. And that Jewish Kingdom they wished to reestablish was an eastern despotism like most other eastern despotisms, complete with nasty little depositions--ones where ex-king's got their ears got bitten off. But hey! Defiance to the Emperor must be good! History gives us neat little divisions of villains and heroes!

And remember, limited government is good! I mean, sure, when the Romans limited their government, the result was something we like to call the Dark Ages--but that's just because they weren't American! Americans--real Americans--know that torture is okay, and health care is evil. They know that civic obligation is a bunk. What matters is--GUNS! And TOUGHNESS! The toughness that comes from knowing you can shoot people with your gun! When tyranny comes, Muir will be boldly leading the charge against it! Then, we can have a good free government, that let's folks like Muir do whatever they want, while screwing poor people and... folks that've gotten uppitty to the wall.

Possibly while wearing nifty uniforms. Yeah, it'll be great.

Saturday, August 27, 2011

That Might Work, If It Was Possible To Care About These Characters.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because everybody wants to rule the world.

Obviously, if Muir's cast were actual characters, these little attempts at pathos might work. Instead, they become annoying, rather incoherent efforts to try and make these soulless automatons likeable.

Friday, August 26, 2011

He... Oh, My God...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.

...

...

...

Jesus, he's not even bothering to hide it anymore, is he? Not that he was ever any good at it, but this is bascially a step away from putting on the old bed sheet and burning a cross on the White House lawn...

Thursday, August 25, 2011

Wow. He Also Doesn't Know His History OR Philosophy.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Professor!

Yeah. Muir, that's not the Renaissance ideal. At all. In fact, most people who lived during the Renaissance would be amazed at the amount of freedom you actually possess. But then Muir thinks denying all responsibility for others is "moral".

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

"The Death Of Civization Is Great News!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because listen to the tide slowly turning.

Yeah. You know, sometimes, I almost want to give Muir and his fellow Right Wing Randroids their world without all that meddling government, largely because I know they wouldn't last five days in it...

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

"More Proof That We Don't Need To Listen To Them!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she's so unusual.

Of course, the people Muir trust lie fairly blatantly all the time, but they aren't part of the evil conspiracy, so it doesn't count.

Monday, August 22, 2011

"Those Moochers And Parasites!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I worry sometimes.

Yeah, fuck you, you arrogant little prick. Isn't amazing how so many Randroids do things that are completely unnecessary, and seem to think they're the backbone of the country?

Sunday, August 21, 2011

"I MAKE My Own Reality!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it got worse.

Muir continues to not understand how the government debt he complains about works, how economics function, and how government runs. Oh, and he thinks Palin is still in the running.

Saturday, August 20, 2011

"*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* BROWN PEOPLE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the cow!

It's an Islamocommufacsist plot to dilute the purity of our essences! We need to kill him! Because we're loyal Americans!

Friday, August 19, 2011

"I Mean--He Doesn't Understand White People Are Better Than Him!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because where have all the graveyards gone?

Yeah, Obama is such an idiot. He disagrees with Muir, a man who regularly demonstrates his complete ignorance on numerous subjects, while imagining he's showing how smart he is!

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

"See! He's Just Like Darth Vader! Only We're The Ones With The Deathstar!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I do believe I'll find myself a new place.

Ahh, yes. Blaming Obama for the downgrade they caused, and which they swore was not a big deal when they were talking about defaulting. Classic.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

"Need More Money! Need More Money!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! I just want to find some place to be alone.

Because we all know Jan is liberal. She keeps saying she is.

Monday, August 15, 2011

"Well, Hundreds Of Right-Wingers Who IMAGINE Themselves To Be Capitalists..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we can dance and sing.

I'm remembering the Simpson who plays the millionare at parties--or more exactly would like to...

Sunday, August 14, 2011

The State Shouldn't Do Anything!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because helmet!

Of course, Muir hasn't actually run a business, but he's heard that it's horrible, and government is clearly evil, so bring on the robber barons! Muir will cheerfully keep drawing his weird cubist porn.

Saturday, August 13, 2011

"It's A Drug-Dealing Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because haters!

Muir continues to paint incompetence as malevolance reaching to the highest levels of government.

Hey, remember when he was ignoring torture? I keep bringing that up to make it clear--when actual evil government comes, Muir will be applauding it for the most part. (With the occasional awkward look away of course.)

Friday, August 12, 2011

Thursday, August 11, 2011

"She Needs The Right's Abusive Love!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sing along with the Fifth Dimension.

"America just needs to realize that when we hit her with a two-by-four and pour scalding water on her, it's because we love her, not like that wimpy Obama, and that we'll never let her go, ever."

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Strained Analogy Theatre!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm in love, I'm a believer.

Except of course, the social safety net doesn't work like that. But hey--let it break, Muir. And when all the "productive members" of society discover that those "parasites" were what let them sit on their asses and get rich--oh, well. Guess they'll just have to hope that the poor don't get too angry.

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

"It's NOT OUT FAULT!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because now one must say more than ever things round here will change.

When we're all sitting in the ashes of what was once a great nation, the Right will be screaming that it wasn't them. Even as they hold the matches and gasoline.

Monday, August 8, 2011

Yes, Muir. That's Exactly What It's All About...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because me, I'm in a rock'n'roll band.

It's amazing it's always the little lemonade stands he pictures as the "victims" of the government, and not bloated corporations. But then, Muir isn't exactly big on logic...

Sunday, August 7, 2011

"The Liberals Have Upturned The Natural Order! That's Why A Massive, Unregulated Private Bureaucracy Downgraded Our Credit!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hawkeye's a double agent!

Yes, Muir. If only we could go back to the good old days, where people knew their places, with white guys on top, and disgusting minorities keeping quiet! Then everything would be good again!

Saturday, August 6, 2011

"So Who's The Real Racist, Eh?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because short people got no reason to live.

No, Muir, La Raza does not think that, you racist white douchebag.

Friday, August 5, 2011

"Ha Ha! Obama Dumb!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a place nobody can find.

Ah, yes. Muir insults a man who's smarter than him, and an actual bit of good advice to cut gas usage. Fun guy.

Thursday, August 4, 2011

"It's Apocalypse! And Not The One We Wanted!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because what shall we eat?

Well, don't worry, Muir. Maybe the next time they'll let you Bizzaros push the shiny button on our economy.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

"He Should Have Let The Economy Collapse!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because put this man in cell #1. And give him a drink.

Ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of circular firing squads. Enjoy your doctrinal battles, Repubs. I know I will...

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

"Texas--The State Where You Can Die Like A Dog!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the cheese is too moldy.

The HMOS. Products of the same corporations that you wanted to protect from Obama's health care plan. But I forget--if it's bad, the government HAS to be behind it. If it's good--public industry obviously.

Sunday, July 31, 2011

"'Compromise' Is A Dirty Word! Like 'Reason'!"

It's the Days Day of Days! Because killed by your own brother's hand.

"We know it's all just cowardly plotting, and we're the true heroes! Because if it isn't--we're not just worthless assholes, but dangerous, worthless assholes, and that can't be true! It just can't!"

Saturday, July 30, 2011

"It's THEIR Responsibility To Just Magically Deal With Our Destructive Tendencies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because for still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe.

Yeah, Muir, we know. The clearly mature thing to do is to destroy the world economy because... Anyway, debt bad. Government evil! The RINOs shall pay!

Friday, July 29, 2011

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Shouldn't He Be Yelling At Dubya Then?

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

I think Muir is breaking under the strain of watching the debt talks. It's taking the Right a lot of effort at the moment to convince themselves that they are the Great, Principled Heroes of this piece, and its making them rather... odd.

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

"It's All A Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hapsburg lip.

"Yeah, I'm on to you, libs! I know that it's all one big plan to institute Islamocommufacism! But we will fight you to the bitter end in hopes of instituting a true democracy--a nation ruled by a wealthy elite, devoid of compassion, mercy, and diversity!"

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

"It's All HIS Fault!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that does not make sense.

"True, it's our job to come up with budgets, and true, everything we've come up with has been a scantily developed monster that makes noises about balancing the budget but is more interested in gutting social services and cutting taxes on the wealthy, but still--he's got to accept our EVIL! He has to!"

Monday, July 25, 2011

"He Sold Out The People Who Opposed Him At Every Moment!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one night in Bangcok and the tough guys tumble.

"Urr... couldn't you call it 'Bush's economy that the Repubs are continuing to short circuit all attempts to repair'...?"

"Silence, heretic! The Markets never fail--they are only failed! History will vindicate us!"

Sunday, July 24, 2011

"Tortured Analogy Theatre!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the star-spangled man.

...

...

...

...

I'm just going to quote Martin Luther--"And here, I have nothing to say".

Saturday, July 23, 2011

"The IRS, Man! They're A Drag!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we're having a heatwave.

Ahh, yes. Because paying taxes suck! Every dollar spent on the IRS is a dollar that could be spent on super-cool government assassins!

Friday, July 22, 2011

"He's Got To Be Plotting Against Us! Just Got To Be!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hail to the king!

And Muir continues his toxic little mix of paranoia, slander, and bigotry. Remember when he was joking about bombing US citizens who didn't agree with in the W. years? Ahh, fun times.

Thursday, July 21, 2011

"We Shall Elect Palin, And She Shall Smite Our Enemies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because somewhere in Germany is a man with a precision rifle, and the skill necessary to use it...

It's almost endearing to see Muir hanging onto his shopworn idol, even as it becomes clear that a Palin run would likely last ten minutes.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

"We've Just Got To Let The Economy Collapse!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because someone to dance with.

Ahh, Muir's brand of common sense--the 'obvious assumption'. Which if people still relied on, we'd still view the Earth as immobile.

Oh, well. The important thing to remember is--Muir needs cash. Badly!

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

"Give Me Money!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because forces pulling from the center of the Earth again.

Ahh, Muir's yearly begging bowl, where our staunch foe of parasitism asks his reader to finance his completely unneccessary artistic endeavor.

Well, he's definitely got the massive hypocricy part of Randism down.

Monday, July 18, 2011

"How DARE They!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a dead etrog.

"Yes, how dare the Dems try to scare seniors into thinking our plan to destroy Social Security is a plan to destroy Social Security! Don't they understand that our holy quest to save the world from the ongoing threat of Commufacislamoism requires that the great sacrifices we are asking be ignored, so that we may keep the scary brown people at bay?"

Sunday, July 17, 2011

If Brain Bleach Were An Actual Product, I'd Be Buying It By Wholesale...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that's a sukkah!

Yes, Muir, the government should realize that the only thing to do is just stop trying to do anything. That way the Good Old Days can come back. And there will be badly-drawn naked women for everybody.

Saturday, July 16, 2011

"After All They Look Alike!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we will not be undersold.

I don't what's worse--the horrible racism, or the fact that Muir seems oblivious to the fact that his behavior is a much closer match to what's described.

Friday, July 15, 2011

"If Your Sister Wants You To Drink Strichnyne, YOU DRINK IT!"

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

And Muir reveals once again that under the tough talk, and macho poses is a pathetic bullying wimp who thinks anyone standing up to him or his side is cowardly.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Creepy, On So Many Levels.

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

Ahh, Obama-bashing and breast-feeding fetish. Two things that Muir thinks go great together, even as the rest of us back away slowly...

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

"How... Uppity Of Her..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you might feel a little sick.

Sometimes I wonder if Muir so oblivious as to not realize he's blowing a racist dogwhistle. Then I decide, that yeah, he probably is.

Monday, July 11, 2011

"The Idiot! Why Doesn't He Just Cut Taxes Some More And Be Done With It?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Schleswig-Holstein-Haderslev.

Muir--who still whole-heartedly supports the policies that got us into this mess--insists that Obama is an idiot who is in fact responsible for this mess. So, let's all go pour gasoline on our burns and then light a match. It's the only way to handle the problem!

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Islamocommufacism GO!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because splurge!

This is a fascinating bit of right-wing BS. Muir starts by giving left-wing criticisms of Obama, then gives us a right-wing criticism, in the form of what he views as a left-wing validation. There is something almost Uriah Heepish in the Right's description of itself as the party of the common man--a disgusting and transparent effort to boast of virtues that it lacks. Especially as 'the common man' seems to mean 'white suburbanites that don't want to rock the boat'.

Saturday, July 9, 2011

"I Mean, He Totally Dodged My Birth Certificate Question."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hey smiling strange.


You know, I never thought I'd defend Skye, who Muir has gone out of his way to make as awful and hypocritical as possible, but look at the situation he's put her in--her family members are bunch of paranoid freaks who talk about political conspiracy theories all the time. That'd put anyone on edge.

Friday, July 8, 2011

"See! President Blacula Is TOTALLY A Islamocommufascist NAZI!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I got a message from the Action Man.

And I can't mention that Muir's blend of racist jingoism, revanchism, and militarism is pretty much fascism! So we're even!

Thursday, July 7, 2011

You... Don't Know What The War Powers Act Really Is, Do You, Muir?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if you want him, come and claim him.

*sigh*

I think one of the reasons Muir wants a Repub in office is so he can start liking bombing Muslims again.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

"Seriously! It's Just Like Organized Crime!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hookah!

How dare government--GOVERN! It's job should clearly be to strengthen the powerful, so that they can better dominate us. Only then will we have true freedom!

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

No, Muir, That's Not What They Said...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we turn the sound off and say rude things when she's talking.

Muir doesn't understand how a stimulus works, does he? Here he seems to imply that the point was to lessen the deficit, which is really, really wrong. And he continues to blather his tough talk about destroying Obama while hoping to put the people who got us into this mess back in power, so they can do the same damn things that got us into it all over again.

Monday, July 4, 2011

"I'll Have You Know I'm A REVERSE Vegan--Only Meat!"

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

Muir celebrates the Fourth by praising carnivores, and bringing out the Weiner scandal. Because that's how patriotic he is.

Sunday, July 3, 2011

"In The Name Of The Greatest People That Have Ever Trod This Earth..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because and then there were none.

Yeah. Way to waste a Sunday strip. Oh, well, I should look on the bright side. His drawings are generally worse.

Though the racist sentiments are about the same...

Saturday, July 2, 2011

The... IMF Isn't The UN...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because company with honesty.

You know, it must be fun, living in a paranoid fantasyland where every international organization is part of one giant megaconspiracy, dedicated to breaking America's American Americanness. I mean the hours you have to spend making shit up so it all matches! It's a great way to pass time.

Friday, July 1, 2011

"After All, Everything Was Fine Before He Became President..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because random geese!

Ah. And of course Dubya has nothing to do with the present state of the nation. Shoving shards of glass into your eyes is a recognized medical procedure, with many benefits!

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Well, At Least He Believes In Evolution. I Think...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Nogai Khan!

Yeah. I mean, it's not like some of this could be inspired by watching Meth America's endless dedication towards ignorance and self-destruction which it apparently thinks are virtues. Nope. It's just elitism!

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

"Actually, Miss, We Were Thinking About Midwesterners..."

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

Pfft--why does a good Rightwinger need anything other than Fox? Remember, folks--ignorance am strength!

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

"Have You Forgotten Who Writes This?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because too much carbon monoxide for me to bear.

You know, it says something that Muir can't even manage to do something clever with a plot that actually has the raw materials to be interesting. But then, that would involve Zed being a character, instead of Captain Mitty, wouldn't it?

Monday, June 27, 2011

No, Muir. It's Not.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because amazing what he can do with those hooks, eh?

Okay, Muir, let's get this in order. This was a sting operation. They are fairly standard. This one seems to have been poorly concieved and handled, but again, this happens. In Watergate, a semisecret dirty tricks group close to the Presidency attempted to bug the Democrats, got caught, and began a series of increasingly inept coverups, with the President's blessing.

But Muir wants this to be as big as Watergate, because he desperately wants to believe that Obama can be impeached for this. Because damn it, there's no law against being the president while a Democrat. Or black.

"It's Clear This Is Intended To Further The Cause Of IslamoCommuFascism!"

It's the Day's Days of Days! Because Peggy Olsen.

Like many scandals that percolate on the right wing, this is based on a genuine happening--a sting operation gone bad--then elevated into a massive conspiracy through a combination of misinformation and hysteria.

It never occurs to Muir's deluded mind to ask--a) what exactly would be gained if this was just an evil conspiracy to get Mexicans guns, and b) what about all the other guns the cartels have?

Friday, June 24, 2011

"Boomers Were Weak, And Unworthy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because what happened to the mouse?

Actually, the hippies were a tiny minority, and most of the boomers were--and are--fairly right-leaning, and often rather reactionary, people who long for the stability their parents had won without understanding the cooperation that made it all possible. Which is why they've essentially dismantled everything that let America have its long era of prosperity, while focusing on bringing back the things that made that era less than nice...

Because clearly, it was racism that made the 50s grand. Not progressive taxation and powerful unions.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

"It's All A Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because down on Cripple Creek, she sends me.

Of course, if Muir actually READ the aforementioned sources, he'd know this isn't true, but he doesn't. Also, of course, Muir was perfectly okay with all the deaths back when Bush was in charge, so I must assume he considers this a belated development that would have been a good thing if a proper warmonger was in office.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

And Summer Movie Season Is On!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Klaus Kinski in Creature.

Time to 'enjoy' Muir's godawful fanart! Because we need to see a bunch of characters we don't give a damn about dressed up like the cast of latest summer blockbuster!

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Dewy-Eyed Liberals! Giving A Shit 'Bout Animals!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because watch Baccano! You'll be glad you did. Once you get past the first episode.

Yep. And you just know this is going to go into a 'The Reasons Liberals Suck' speech in a strip or two.

Monday, June 20, 2011

Classic "Comedy"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because glowing spheres of death.

Oh, Muir. Thank you for not making us laugh about anything, again.

Sunday, June 19, 2011

Yes, Muir. You ARE A Racist Douchebag.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because idleness is chief mistress of vices all.

Having his black sock puppet blather on about birther bullshit. Classic Muir.

Saturday, June 18, 2011

"Can't You Accept You're Both Loathsome?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long.

Apparently, they compete to see who can be the most trite and obnoxious. It's a tough call.

Friday, June 17, 2011

Yeah. Yeah. Should We Tell Him?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because en garde.

And by 'citizens' Muir means 'the rich', all of us lesser people not quite measuring up. Oh, and nice to see a climate change denier trying to appropriate Galileo. The irony, she is breathtaking.

Thursday, June 16, 2011

"Keynes, Marx--What's The Difference, I Ask You?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we don't need no education.

And Muir continues to convince himself that he lives in a land run by Marxist dogma, while demonstrating that he doesn't know what Marxist dogma is. Yes, Muir, keep yelling for more snake oil, to cure the shakes that have developed since we made snake oil our beverage of choice.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011

"Health Is For The Weak!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lysenko!

Oh, Skye. All true Murikans seek to bloat up like pigs, and die like dogs!

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Ignorance Proves Worth!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Landlord's Game!

Well, as usual, Muir shows his age. Because remember--people love jokes about the teen star of an over twenty-year old movie!

Monday, June 13, 2011

"Blacker Than The Blackest Black, Times Infinity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies!

Yeah. In between Skye being the poorly-considered caricature that is her, and the weak attempt at an Obama jab--the strip's on autopilot. The course--through HELL!

Sunday, June 12, 2011

"For I Am A Mighty Hunter And Gatherer! Roar!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Taras Bulba.

You know, this just sums up Muir's brand of brain-dead reactionary "philosophy". Muir considers himself a tough man of action, belonging to the greatness of the past, stuck by ill-fortune in a decadent weak present. In truth, like most of his fascist ilk, Muir is the pampered, weak child of privilege he imagines his opponents as. As he whines about this imaginary past, he demonstrates the very weakness he claims had no place in it. Muir babbles about virtues that he has in fact never demonstrated, all the while imagining he's devestating his opponent. It's pretty sad, actually.

But hey, at least he's shifting into 'batshit' mode.

Saturday, June 11, 2011

If Sleaze Came In Concentrated Form, It Would Be This Strip.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because children of the grave.

Sometimes, Muir just lets his entire cast join in the race to be most loathsome. Ranking them tends to be tough.

Friday, June 10, 2011

Yeah. Yeah... *Sigh*

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the last starfighter is dead.

Chris Muir has two settings--'crazy', and 'batshit'. In some ways, I prefer 'batshit'. He's not actually entertaining, but at least he's somewhat interesting. As opposed to this, which manages to be obnoxious, AND boring. Honestly, I wonder why the hell he thinks this is a storyline to focus on. But then--it's Muir.

Thursday, June 9, 2011

"No Republican Can Allow--A Stab In The Back!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hellzapoppin'!

No True Republican can countenance--BETRAYAL! Purge the Party! In Purity lies Strength!

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Called It.

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

Well, it's clear that Muir doesn't see the irony of providing softcore jerkoff material for modern art fetishists while commenting on l'affaire de Weiner. Typical.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

I'd Say I Was Pleasantly Surprised, But... It's Muir...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Danny Trejo is a muppet.

What, nothing of Weiner's public trip to Canassa? A part of me wonders if Muir isn't aware on some level of what weak tea the whole affair is, especially in a strip that regularly features subpar pinup art. But I suspect that he already had this strip drawn, and we're going get Muir's... musings on the whole matter tomorrow...

Monday, June 6, 2011

"We HAVE To Stop President Blacula!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ubik. It resurrects the dead.

You know, as we stop to digest this vile collection of slander so old it's rotted into an unidentifiable sludge, I'd like to come out and restate something that I like to point out every now and then. Muir is not a patriot. He's a vile little jingoistic turd who doesn't so much love this nation as loves the idea of his club being on top. While he confuses this with nationalism, the truth is he'd cheerfully sell us out to an enemy if they were the right sort of enemy.

So, let's all be sad that he wasn't born in the 1930s, where he could have humiliated himself by boosting the Fascists and the Nazis. Instead of now, where he can imagine he would have opposed them.

Sunday, June 5, 2011

"We Live In A Heightened State Of Information!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hoagy Carmichael.

I wonder what's going to happen when she doesn't get the nomination.

I'm serious. Muir's investing so much into this downright Gnostic worldview of his, it's going to take a lot of head-twisting to get around the fact that no, he and Palin are not in touch with some higher form of reality.

Saturday, June 4, 2011

"This Is A Totally Big Deal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you ain't nothing but a hound dog.

Yep. This is a big deal. Totally big deal. Also--boobies!

Friday, June 3, 2011

"You Can't Handle The Truth!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the itsy bitsy spider.

Muir continues to cling to the Weiner "affair", even as it perishes in an slow, ignominous death.

Thursday, June 2, 2011

"I'se Is A Winner!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because froggy went a courtin'.

Ahh. Treating a pseudo-scandal and a pseudo-candidate (both of which most of the Right are backing away from as fast as possible) as Serious Concerns. Classic. And remember--Palin is a woman. So any suggestion that she isn't absolutely incredible is sexist. Even Liberal Jan knows that!

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

"See! I Can Shout Out A Racist Theory, And Claim It's The Left's! That Makes Me Not-Racist!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because House of Leaves.

I'm pretty sure Muir has never actually read Marcuse--just a sampling of quotes and some spin by a slightly smarter right-wing figure that he is essentially cribbing. Just as he hasn't really read the "Founding Fathers", or he'd realize that his reactionary drivel has nothing to do with their beliefs. Indeed, this strip sums up Muir so well--a pretentious, racist asshat who claims an intellectual heft he did nothing to earn, and of course, puts his claptrap in the mouth of a black sock puppet because he thinks it proves how not-racist he is.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

"And By That I Mean Dumbass White Guys Telling Everyone What To Do!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Strongbad!

Ahh, those stupid inferiors. Don't they realize they want another Republican overlord to rule them like slaves?

Monday, May 30, 2011

"And It Has To Be Real--I Paid To See It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's hard to be a saint in the city.

I won't go over the ins and outs of this case, which shows quite a few signs of being an exceptionally clumsy hoax. I'll just note that Muir is once again pretending similar Republican scandals never happened. And that he paid to see a picture of a penis.

Sunday, May 29, 2011

"How Dare He Betray Our Reliably Unreliable Ally!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the revolution will not be televised.

Ahh, look at this rather odd collection of poorly-thought sock puppets for Muir. There's Netanyahu, a man who more or less embodies Israel's self-destructive impulses, and who Muir thinks should be supported because... well, just because. There's Walesa, who Muir appears to have forgotten came to power as a union head, hasn't been President of Poland for years and complains about a "betrayal", which appears to be... talking to Russia. There's Sosa, who came to power thanks to a coup, and whose government is busily committing human rights abuses. And there's Gordon Brown, the ex-Prime Minister of Britain, and member of the Labour Party--which happen to be members of the Socialst International, thus making them a lot closer to Marxists then Obama--who's there--I don't know why.

None of this makes an sense, even by Muir's shaky standards. Indeed as so often happens when he tries something like this, Muir winds up highlighting his ignorance, paranoia and gullibility.

Saturday, May 28, 2011

Cheap Drama! It's The Greatest!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we're part of the fire that is burning.

"We talked about the internet, and campaigns. It was great!"

Thursday, May 26, 2011

"I Love Youse Guys!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mottel the Cantor's Son.

Muir declares he's perfectly willing to accept competition between the right and left. Well, competition between the people who have computers and regular internet access, of course. Not the unwashed masses, of course. But hey--what's one more hurdle for the bottom rungs?

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Well, It Does Sound Like Drunken Musing, I'll Give Him That...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ethanol!

A part of me wonders if Muir subconsciously realizes that this is the only way the Tea Party is going to control the elections...

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

"They Must Be Out Of It! They Don't Like Palin!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because keep the building beautiful!

Yeah. The same wikipedia that has to lock up Hitler's article to keep the neoNazis from jizzing on it. Don't see any problem there! None at all!

Monday, May 23, 2011

"The Left Hates Our Awesome Power!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because love for three oranges.

And Muir once again demonstrates his bountiful self-delusion, with grandiose declarations of Palin's importance and the incompetence and uselessness of government which confirm that he lives one sheltered life, down in Florida.

Sunday, May 22, 2011

"The Resemblence Is Uncanny!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he'd make a lumpy matress.

Yeah. Sure, Muir. Obama is just like Commodus! And Palin is going to beat him! It's destiny! DESTINY! NURSE! MORE SERUM!

Saturday, May 21, 2011

"I Mean, Everyone Knows You Must Have All The Holy Land So Jesus Can Come Back!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if there's a heaven, let's hope Jane Austen, Antony Trollope, John Galsworthy and C.S. Snow are all sitting together and comparing notes.

Yeah. President Blacula should have known his place. Also, Israel rocks. Because it's cool to hate Arabs. And... look at the monkey!

Friday, May 20, 2011

"I'm Only Chris Muir's Imaginary Black Friend!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Horace!

See? Muir isn't a real racist, like those dopy liberals! He's perfectly fine with blacks who understand their place in the scheme of things, which is largely letting white guys like him know they aren't racist.

Thursday, May 19, 2011

"My Hubby Is All I Need!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because turn off your phone!

Right. I'm now more and more sure that Muir is not married or in a serious relationship...

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

"Facts Can Be Determined Through Coin-Tossing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because please be courteous.

Yeah. Yeah. And remember--Bush never happened, and the government should just be letting the market help things out. BRING BACK THE GUILDED AGE!

Oh, and Muir did not just use the same damn drawings from yesterday.

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

"The Commie Svine!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I hate car alarms.

Yes, Palin represents that special brand of right wing individualism that's built on understanding that the right sort of people are special, special snowflakes who've accomplished everything they've done by their own power, and don't need the government butting into their business and telling them what to do, as opposed to those other people who are parasites and leeches, whose accomplishments are all frauds, and who the government should be locking away en masse.

Monday, May 16, 2011

"Who Could Ever Have Imagined The Right Wing Could Be Authoritarian?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she's a lady--whoa whoa, whoa--she's a lady.

I'd take this a lot more seriously if Muir hadn't given out a free pass on torture. As it is, this is the classic 'It's an abuse of power if I am threatened!"

Sunday, May 15, 2011

Uhhh, Yeah...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it wasn't a rock.

Apparently, because Fareed has a SCARY MUSLIM NAME, Muir thinks that The Post-American World is a how-to guide. Muir--racist, and dumb.

Saturday, May 14, 2011

"Shut Up, Demonspawn."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ol' Lampy's in a stew.

As Muir attempts to give his strip some drama, it's good to see he still can't draw the kids.

Friday, May 13, 2011

"It's A Ploat. A Plot! A Plot!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gruesome Gorilla.

Yeah. Muir's a bit light on material at the moment, isn't he? Even the wingnut conspiracies are sort of... lacking right now.

"They Just Hate Him! HATE HIM!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because directed by Michael Powell.

"Everyone loathes President Blacula! Our hour of triumph is nigh! NURSE! More serum!"

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

You Mean--A Miscarriage?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you shouldn't have done that.

And that's how hard hitting Muir is--he killed a fictional fetus! Yes, a potential character we never really met! That maverick!

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

"And We Shall Smite Our Enemies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we're the Princes of the Universe.

Will Muir ever admit that his idol doesn't just have feet of clay, but is pretty much... all clay? That it's not the media--it's her?

Nah.

Monday, May 9, 2011

"It's DRAMA! And ACTING!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because online poker. Bane of the stupid.

And now, another desperate attempt at drama, weakened by the fact that it's tough to care about Muir's characters. (That said, if he does kill Sam, it'll be the closest he's ever come to a clever plot twist. In which case--well, good to see him making some progress.)

Sunday, May 8, 2011

Jesus H. Fuck.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because random talking head.

Well, that's probably the most racist thing Muir's posted in a while. (And there's some pretty stiff competition on that score.) And while I'd love to go into detail about just how freaking awful it is, quite frankly, I'm not in the mood right now. So, let's just sit back and absorb... the obscenity...

Saturday, May 7, 2011

"It's Gotta Have Some Sort Of Objectivist Secret Meaning!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because, duh, winning!

I wonder how many cartoons he can do of Jan just lying there.

I really shouldn't ask these questions. It's Muir.

Friday, May 6, 2011

"Why Don't We Have A Repub Tough Enough To Let Us Destroy This Great Nation?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because our princess is in another castle.

"Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky. We'd put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, 'till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eating each other. In their frenzy, they ate at themselves. You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse... until this little picnic tonight. And you know, there wasn't one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived..."

--Orson Welles, Lady From Shanghai

Thursday, May 5, 2011

He Thinks That's A Good Thing?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because asparagus!

So... Muir thinks this sort of ghoulish gloating is a virtue. Not a surprise, but still remarkably tone-deaf even for him...

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

"Now Back To What's Important--BOOBIES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because who are the brain police?

I see the whole 'Bin Laden is dead' thing has only briefly derailed what is doubtless going to be the typical interminable DbD slice of "life"...

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

"Only Torture Made This Possible! Not President Blacula!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because curse you, Batman!

"Well, if Obama had nothing at all to do with this, how is it that Bush, with nearly six years of the policies you claim are really responsible, failed to do so?"

"I... Shut up! I'm the brave toughie! You're the cowardly treacherous softie! I'se the real Murican! Youse the fake! DON'T BAFFLE ME WITH LOGIC! UNFAIR! TRAITOR!"

Monday, May 2, 2011

"What You Should Have Done Is Not Buy Any Food At All!"

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

Muir knows something must be done about the deficit! Of course, we can't raise taxes on the wealthy, and we can't cut military spending--but if we demolish the social safety net, why surely good things will come of it!

Sunday, May 1, 2011

"Don't They See That They Must Protect Bigotry?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because some day we will find the cities of gold.

Why it's exactly the same! And by exactly the same, we mean completely different. But then, Muir doesn't quite get the law. Or... well, anything...

Saturday, April 30, 2011

"I Retroactively Oppose Things I Supported!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a fly in amber.

Yeah. You were just broken up about things. That's why all the insults of war protestors, and the insisting that democracy in Iraq was going to be a smashing success. But hey! Obama! Teleprompters! How dare that black man be president!

Friday, April 29, 2011

"The Point Is Sir, He's Not Really American!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he's from Spain.

Yeah, Muir. Right. Palin is so awesome, that even though her popularity has tanked, and she's been reduced to a virtual afterthought, she's Obama's primary concern.

Thursday, April 28, 2011

"You're A Scary Black Man, Just Like Him!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because dry land is no myth!

You know, the funny thing--albeit a rather tragic sort of funny--is that Muir is such a racist sack of shit he doesn't realize how racist he's being. He genuinely thinks all this talk of "Americans" when he means "white middle class conservatives" is just what you're supposed to say.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

"I'm Picking It Up On My Fillings Man!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it was old school!

Ahh, yes. Sniff. The poor megacorporations! They're being persecuted! Who--who will speak out for Joe Millionare, and Obama's insidious conspiracy, which the wealthy and powerful are completely unable to resist?

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Drum Roll.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because huzzah!

"We could go for the Republican Plan, but I'm really not into taking it in that spot, if you know what I mean."

I'm sorry. I considered something about Muir's usual "the stimulus failed" bs, or about the obvious gender politics which leads to Sam not even considering little things like condoms or the pill, but then--inspiration hit.

Monday, April 25, 2011

"I Love The Creepy Rape-Sex."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't throw me into the briar patch.

While I could go on about Muir's divorce from reality, endless striving for purity, and worship of one of the most hateful hacks to ever put pen to paper, I will simply note that Jan is apparently enjoying things so much that the only thing that moves during her conversation are her eyes.

Sunday, April 24, 2011

Wha...? "Atlas Shrugged" Is A Hit?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I loathe a musical review.

Ahh, nothing like a Muir style Wall of Crazy Text. And remember! Bash unions, before they bash back! That way, we can bring back the Gilded Age!

Saturday, April 23, 2011

"So You Admit That You're All A Bunch Of Dusky-Skinned Muslims!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll be right here.

Ahh. There's something strangely comforting in Muir screaming like a little racist baby, while pretending he's a big tough manly man. But then--Islamacommufacism is scary, man!

Friday, April 22, 2011

"So You're The Real Racist!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it feels like home.

Ahh, yes. The Right just loves stealing the words of a man it persecuted while he was alive, and mangling their context to show how caring about racism is actually racist. And having it delivered by a white man's "black" sock puppet--perfect.

Thursday, April 21, 2011

"Actually, I'm The Racist Creation Of A White Guy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because your eyes got me hoping.

As Muir continues to focus on Right-Wing pseudonews, let us all bask in the infernal glow of Muir's Imaginary Black Friend. And remember--Boehner as failed the Party! He must be purged!

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

"Man, Imaginary Democrats Are Such Tools!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in Mesopotamia!

Yeah. Apparently Muir missed the bit where the Repubs dedicated themselves to killing Medicare to save it. Or the bit where most of those tax cuts--are for the very, very wealthy.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

"Yep! He's Out To Get The Middle Class! Yep!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hoo-ha!

Muir's 'throw everything against the wall and see what sticks' approach results in another rather odd cartoon. Oh, the 'Obama and comrades as the Illuminati' is pretty old hat--but now Muir is trying to accuse him of being the plaything of the rich--who Muir has earlier seen as the gifted folk who should be running the nation. But then, Muir's the normal modern right-winger--a strange brew of objectivism, jingoism, and reactionary "Christianity". It doesn't fit together or make any sense, but it doesn't have to. All Muir needs is to feel cheated of his rightful place, and eternally surrounded by enemies. The fact that the actions he takes to take care of these problems worsen his condition--well, he hasn't really made that connection yet.

In fact, he probably never will.

Monday, April 18, 2011

"It's The Recap, Folks! It Doesn't Have To Make Sense!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one more cup of cofee before I go--to the valley below.

And once again, the fact that the DbD universe doesn't seem the least bit real is hammered in.

Sunday, April 17, 2011

Captain Mitty! He's Got A Hot Wife.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because so do all born in such a time, but that is not their choice.

Chris Muir tries to be heartwarming, and winds up at nausea-producing. Oh, Muir. Is there anything you can't fail at?

Saturday, April 16, 2011

Oh, Jan, You Wacky Liberal You!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because West Coast Seattle Boy.

Loudly talking in a movie theatre while a film is playing. Seems about par for the course for the Worlds Most Loathsome Cast(tm).

Friday, April 15, 2011

"Only Truly Worthy People Can See Rand's Incredible Genius!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.

Ah, yes. The criticly lambasted, barely released vanity production of one of the worst novels ever written, an imbecilic, hateful "philisophical" tract that tells readers that they are all the special, special snowflakes, and they shouldn't pay taxes.

And as he's made it clear in the past, Muir is a fan.

Thursday, April 14, 2011

"Captain Mitty! He's Awesome! And He Has A Hot Wife."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Green Hornet!

You know--I never thought I'd say this, but bring back the fake Founding Fathers. They had a higher unintentional amusement quotia than the increasingly tedious Zed as Captain Mitty storylines.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

So... Now You Like Trump...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one morning, when I woke up, I found the enemy was here.

Well, you have to give Muir credit. He never ceases to sink a little lower in quality.

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

"Now Hurrieth Up! We Musteth Geteth President Washington His Dinosaur!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because c'est la lutte finale--groupons-nous, et demain--L'Internationale sera le genre humain!

Muir calls for circular firing squads--the Party must be pure, after all--and demonstrates per usual that his actual knowledge of the Founding Fathers he claims to admire is... quite poor.

Monday, April 11, 2011

"Victory Is Inevitable!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Polotoski!

Muir continues his bizarre delusional boasting fit, certain that his increasingly unpopular quasi-movement is on the verge of destroying not only the Democrats, but the cowardly fake Republicans. And that Sarah Palin is popular.

Sunday, April 10, 2011

"And Remember! I'm Chris Muir's Pretend Black Friend! So This Is Okay!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Emery Ball.

And Damon goes back to his primary function--allowing Muir to say incredibly racist things, and think that they're okay, because--black character! That said, there is a certain humor in this list. It's sort of like a Will Ferrell character--it thinks its clever and dynamic, but it's really whiny and pathetic.

Of coure, Will Ferrell knows that's the idea. Muir just... is it.

Never Refer To A Funnier Comedy...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because *organ music*.

You know, I feel obligated to note there's something wrong with the Seinfeld ref--aside from showing Muir's lack of talent, as he not only reminds us of a funny comedy with a loathsome cast, but demonstrates that he can't draw a goofy dance and has to describe it. Skye, who is in her early twenties, and generally shown as monstrously self-absorbed, immediately recognizes a reference to an adult sitcom that aired during her childhood. Sure, there are plenty of people who would, but Skye is supposed to be the sort of person who would respond to the comment with a baffled stare while stating 'Seinwhat?' And you can't argue Rule of Funny, because that response would be funnier than what Muir's put here. In the end, we're seeing Muir's usual inability to see his characters as anything but extentions of himself, and giving them the "knowledge" he posseses and the responses he would give.

Damn it. I think I spend more time thinking about this strip than Muir does.

"Oh, Wacky Foreign Guy! Will You Ever Learn?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ya-da-ya-da-ya-da-hmmm.

I think the only reason he isn't doing pratfalls is because Muir can't draw them.

"Hey! Let's Piddle On It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cold song.

Muir knows there's a war of civilizations going on, see, and he wants to do his part. Oh, he's not actually going out and getting shot at--but he can belittle and insult our opponents, as well as any who share their beliefs! And isn't that a valuable service?

"Damn Your Awesome, Captain Mitty!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because far from Heaven.

And as we draw to the conclusion of yet another (not really) exciting Captain Mitty adventure, we find ourselves dwelling on the terrible artwork, the pathetic attempt to depict action, the faux-macho posing, and the general FAIL and saying 'Man, this strip sucks'.

You Forgot To Have Them Say 'Infidel'.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a tiger? In Africa?

And as Russian Guy shoots--while remaining in exactly the same position he has been drawn in for most of his appearances--the evil Afghanis stand there in a completely static pose. And Muir demonstrates that he's as bad at drama as he is at comedy.

Monday, April 4, 2011

Say What?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Klaus!

Yeah. That's sort of like saying 'Who rules France? The King--or le Roi?', as 'Allah' means... 'The God'. But then, Allah isn't like Chris Muir's God. He let's Muslims worship Him.

Excuse Me. My Jaw Just Hit The Floor.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fruitbats!

Not only does Muir--a chickenhawk of the first water--suddenly try to turn into a dove--but he repeats Qadafi's lies that the rebels are in fact Al Qaeda. And then he gives us an exposition-filled mess with lots of El Dorado Dad dialogue that reminds us once again that this is not only not set in the real world, it isn't even set in a halfway decent replica of the real world.

Chris Muir--he mixes gutless evil with artistic incompetence to create sheer awfulness.

Is This The End of Captain Mitty?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because deadly neurotoxin.

All of this would be a lot more dramatic if the art wasn't so bad, and the cast wasn't so loathsome.

Friday, April 1, 2011

"That Islamcommufascist Warmonger!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Antioch!

And as Captain Mitty deals with Russian Guyovitch, Muir finally mentions Libya. And he opposes it, because Democrats don't have the right to start wars with Muslims. That's a Republican thing, damn it!

It's A Token Ethnic SuperFriends Reunion!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I am still living with your ghost.

I believe I once jokingly suggested having El Dorado Dad and Samurai Mom hook up--I know I rejected making the joke yesterday, on the grounds that I thought I'd made it before.

And yet possiblities I view as horrible and ridiculous are standard plot "twists" in DbD.

I hate this strip. I just want to make it clear.

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Ah. Just What The Strip Needed.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because look out, Smithers!

Yay. It's Samurai Mom. Ooh, I wonder what other Japanese phrases she'll spice up her bad English with to help Muir convey the fact that she's a foreigner.

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

"Just A Liar, And A Wannabe Rapist!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because there'll be a golden ladder reaching down.

Muir demonstrates solidarity with and James O'Keefe, creepy Republican ratfucker.

Well, he knows his own.

"Can't You See THE TRUTH?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wilberforce!


"President Blacula's an evil Muslim infiltrator! Heh. Not really. But actually--really. Yep. ACORN! Multiculturism! MUSLIMS!"


And with that out of the way, it must have been really easy to--draw that one. Even by Muir's standards.

Captain Mitty And The Funny Foreign Guy!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it depends on who is looking.

"I am how do you say foreign, and do not understand your euphemisms, being thus stupid!"

"He's Captain Fucking Mitty, Man!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because electric word life, and it means forever.

Yeah. Got it, Muir. Zed is awesome. Sure.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

"Captain Mitty Will Be Fine!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Burgundy triumphant!

Yeah. This would be dramatic. If his cast weren't all loathsome cyphers.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

"We Believe That Knowing You're Just Better Than Everyone Else Is The Key To Liberty.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hell followed with him.

And Muir showers praise on a brainless bit of cryptoracism, demonstrates that like most conservatives he doesn't know what 'common sense' means, and puts in some Palin-boosting.

2012 is going to be painful.

Monday, March 21, 2011

"He Should Be Leading The Charge In Afghanistanland! On A Dinosaur!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because give yourself up.

Muir's got a pretty fluid set of standards. Somehow, Bush's constant vacations were good and proper--Obama going out on diplomatic missions is treason--or close to it.

But then--this is Muir. The man who thinks of himself as an amazing patriot for his willingness to support sending the troops out to get shot at whenever a Republican is in the White House.

Sunday, March 20, 2011

"Ve Have Been Stabbed In Zee Back By Zee Liberal Svine!"

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

Amazing that Muir views respect for a military our Founding Fathers never wanted us to have as a key civic virtue with military service the mark of the true patriot. All while commenting on the evil of unions, the glories of the past, and the support of the masses, which he knows his sort has, if only the evil leftist conspiracy would shut up.

...

I only call him a fascist asshole because he is.

Saturday, March 19, 2011

Yep! A Comment About A Political Ad From Three Years Back.

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

And Muir's effort a drama drags on. This is becoming tedious. Even by the standards of DbD.

Friday, March 18, 2011

An Epic Fail.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because huscarl!

You know, staring at the lifeless drawings and poor artwork, one can't help but feel a little sorry for Muir. He's trying so hard to draw an exciting adventure strip, but his own lack of talent is standing in his way.

And then one remembers a few of his creepier jokes, and the feeling passes.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

All The Excitement And Drama Of Watching Paint Dry.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Pippa's Progress!

You know--Muir is clearly trying to do something in the manner of classic adventure strips like Wash Tubbs/Captain Easy, or Terry and the Pirates. The problem is he's a lousy artist, and a lousy writer, so the whole thing falls flat.

Ahh, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?

Of course, like most of Browning, there's a certain irony in that statement, as it's said by a skilled but ultimately mediocre artist in a conversation with a wife who is (implicitly) cheating on him.
