"Enjoy More Time With My Hateful Characters! Yay!"

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

I am waiting for the bears with power tools to descend...

"He Just Doesn't Understand--It's The Cops' Job To Kill The Uppity!""

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because did he tell you the story about the teeth?

It's things like this that make me forgive Al a lot of his many sins. Standing up against pure, stupid, hypocritical evil that has the gall to be self-righteous makes ANYONE look good.

"Why Aren't They Happy Making Babies, I Ask You?"

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

Yep, that is a marriage just filled with love and respect.

Yep.

"Godwin On Our Side!"

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

...

And this is what he imagines to be clever.  The idjit.

"Their Feelings Are Invalid! Unlike Mine!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Gold Coast.


Ahh, yes.  Because Muir is such a paragon of rational consideration and cold logic.

"Just Wishing Everyone Who Isn't Us Into The Cornfield, Hon!"

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

As usual, Muir seems to mistake misanthropy for patriotism...

The Gag Goes On...

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

Muir never saw a pointless gag and bit of name-dropping that he couldn't drag out for more strips than it deserved.

Ha... Ha... Ha...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Little Nemo in Slumberland.

Yep.  Bears with freakin' power tools.  Now.  While most of the cast is isolated and in one place.

"He Will Be Just Like... You Know Who I'm Talking About. He Had That Car..."

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

...

Bears.  With. Power Tools.

Awful On So Many Levels...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because mystery number.

The misogyny in this strip is so thick you could cut it.

Alongside the bullshit.

"And The Lesson--Don't Mix Vodka And Eggnog!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the fruit of the lemon tree is impossible to eat.

Muir's inability to create likable characters tends to be exponentially worsened by his inability to create characters who behave in a reasonable manner.  So they aren't just assholes--they're crazy assholes.

"Enjoy Badly Stenciled Car Drawings!"

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

Wow!  A strip has visually empty and stationary as this so-called plot!  It's PERFECT!

Well, in its badness...

"And She Deserves This, Because She Is Not Of The Collective!"

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

...

Bears.  With.  Power tools.

"See How Witty And Subversive And Put Upon We Are?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because in a Bamboo Grove.

And remember, this is what supposedly normal conversations between these two degenerate into...

"Surely, This Has Tons Of Legal Precedent!"

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

At times like this, I suspect Alan Moore regrets introducing Guy Fawkes to a new generation...

"Yeah... We Sorta Lost Track Of That Metaphor, Somewhere..."

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

Well, Jan seems to have fully embraced the evil in her DNA...

"You See, Grandson, Seeing Others As Commodities Is A Virtue I Must Instill In You."

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

Oh, El Dorado Dad.  When will you finally just give in to your urges and buy that volcano lair your heart's been secretly set on?

"Man, Our Crazy Party Is JUST Like Christ!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Bert the Turtle.

And now he enters into actual blasphemy.  Got to give Muir credit.  He always finds new lows to hit...

"I Don't Need To Know What I'm Talking About! I'm White!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Carter Burwell.

Yes.  Why can't they be doing something productive?  Like flying a freakin' helicopter around a ranch owned by their friends.

"Yes, I'm A Paranoid Schizophrenic, Actually..."

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

 And remember--he thinks he has to keep this storyline... spaced out like this...

A Little Slice Of Sociopathic Life...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she studied Vietnamese at Yale.

And remember folks, this is just them being all... folksy...

The Cutting Political Commentary Is Just... Awful.

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

Sometimes, this strip seems more like an dada-esque joke pretending to be a right wing political comic.

But then you realize, no, Muir really does think he's doing quality work here.

Ha... Ha...?

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

So Muir finally managed to make the one likable character he ever created as bad as the rest of them.  Should have seen that one coming...

"Ha. Ha. Wimmen. Ya Know What I Mean?"

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

Just another slice of evil sociopathic life...

"How Dare They Not Start Impeachment Proceedings!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because kind of funny looking.

I think Muir is kind of fuzzy on what he wants to do with this one, with the result that he simply flails wildly and hopes to achieve... something.

"Thank Goodness We Have Such A Healthy Relationship!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because from the dusty mesa her looming shadow grows, hidden in the branches of the poison creosote.

It's the funny thing about DbD--while it's always going to be bad, every now and then it tips into horrible, and you never know when that will be.  Like this one, where Muir shows such a deep misogyny and doesn't even seem to realize it.

"And Then, We Can Put A Stake In Her Heart!"

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

Zed is apparently so angry, that he can barely move. He is in the exact same pose as he was in yesterday's strip.  

"All Right. I'll Upgrade Them To The Pit Of Despair!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because boom like that.

Because the only way to repay awfulness is with your own, equally repugnant awfulness.  It's the Murican Way!

"Look, Muir Has NO Idea Where To Take This Storyline..."

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

Muir's ongoing efforts to write the most horrible people imaginable continue...

"Moses, Actually..."

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

Lessons in civics from people who think Texas has the right to secede.

This going to go well.

"Well, At Least This Doesn't Make Them Vomit Pea Soup!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because do NOT work.

One wonders how they keep their hellspawn fed on the souls of the innocent so far from civilization...

"See! It's All Very Scientific!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Scots wha hae.

Why do I suddenly feel like I've wandered into a discussion with Tom Buchanan?

"Ah! More Proof That THEY'RE The REAL Racists!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Flight of the Bumblebee.

Ahh, yes.  That's what needed to happen.  The pit needed to be dug even deeper. 

"I Can't See What's Wrong With This At All!"

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

...

...

You know, I expected Muir's response to Ferguson to be bad.  I didn't expect it to be so hypocritically, stupidly bad, a combination of dehumanizing racism that treats blacks as if they were animals and Muir--the man who sees threats in phrases--declaring that blacks are being a bunch of hysterical babies about the entire matter.

"He Is Now Automatically Not The President Anymore! I'm Sure About This!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'll have what I'm having.

Remember--Obama is the dangerous traitor to the nation.  Not the people living in a compound, fantasizing about killing him.

"I'm SURE This Is What It Means, Anyway!"

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

...

...

The stupid never stops.  It just doesn't... stop...

"See! These Things Are EXACTLY Alike!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because alias Nick Beal.

So apparently, the idea is that Damon is only acting like a creepy jerk as a form of political protest. 

One wonders when he started...

"And Teaching Satanism In School!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wood pulp.

Ahh, yes.  The insane claims about sex ed parroted by Right-wingers.  Decades have passed, but they just keep getting crazier.

And Hans Christian Anderson Joins The Horde That Muir Has Turning In Their Graves...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Man, after the last few days of utter crazy, this is almost a disappointment. Oh, sure, Muir waxing misogynistic and the worst Emperor's New Clothes scenario yet, but it's still lacks the full-fledged nuttiness we've been seeing.

"No, Seriously, Only The Cray-Cray Can Save Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the doffing Mistress.

And the bad mixed metaphors just keep coming. This one doesn't quite top the utter craziness of yesterday, but let's give Muir some time.

"And Then Stalin Slaps Him With A Fish!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tom Thumb.

Somehow, that badly done, lunatic stew of mixed metaphors epitomizes everything that is DbD.

"And If She Was Offended By The Shirt, She'll Go Apeshit Over This!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because petit mal.

And that's how you prove what a person's charging while attacking them. 

"Whereas We Are Revolutionaries Fighting For Oppressed Well-to-do White Males Everywhere!"

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

So, we're getting another "Jan and Damon stay in the same spot, and talk" run of strips.  I'd say at least they're easy to draw this way, but Muir has managed to make them both look like rubber-boned, eyeless freaks, so apparently not.

"The Stupid Hippies! Not So Groovy Now, Is It?"

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

Now, guess what generation is keeping the Republicans in power? 

But then Muir tends to operate by a sort of magical intuition instead of the mere facts, and there are scalps to be taken for Vietnam...

"This Is Just Another Example Of The All-Powerful Conspiracy That's Out To Get Us!"

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

Ahh, yes.  All the self-awareness of  a lump of cheese...

"Clone, Clone Of My Own..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Donar's oak.

As Sam once again proves she's basically Zed as a woman, I feel obligated to note the big sport for the Romans wasn't gladiator fighting--it was chariot-racing.  And that the latter was generally more deadly than the former.

Just food for thought.

"How Dare They Be Offended By Offensive Things!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because processed with alkali.

You know, this ALMOST makes you miss Victorian hypocrisy, where the sexist jerks knew they had to at least PRETEND they were being respectful to women as they disrespected them. 

Then you remember about bustles, corsets, and the utterly crap divorce laws...

"Our Latest Obsession Is Clearly The Greatest Issue In Politics!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because in the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

Wonder how long this one will last...

"He's A Dead White Male, So He Has To Be On My Side!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because your pitiful planet is doomed.

The creepy crazyfail just keeps on going.  And going.  And going.  And Muir and his fans keep thinking there is something daring and profound in all this...

"My Stenciled Nude Is Proof Of My Awesomeness!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because up jumped the devil.

Yes, demonstrating your eternal 12 year oldness is how you win.  Right.  Sure.

"My Insults And Sexism Prove I'm Right!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Chess Box Set.

The knowledge that this is a war they are definitely losing is a great consolation to me...

"Yes, We Who Know That All Those Troublesome References To Liberty And Equality Were Added By The Illuminati!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because 54-46 was my number.

Muir is never so stupid as when he is saluting himself for being so smart.

"Of Course This Also Invalidates All Our Crazy Paranoid Theories, But--BOOBIES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Golden Horde.

Remember, folks, 38% voter turnout = incredible mandate.   Now here's some more word salad and nudity to get you to swallow all this.

"This Way, We Can Make Sure Our Daughters Never Are Exposed To Any Fresh Viewpoints!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because gunpowder plot.

The nudity is there to distract us from the fact that the move to the compound is now complete...

"And This Isn't Creepy At All!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Shadows in the Dark.

...

It's hard to believe that Muir could make this more objectionable--but he did.

"How Best To Celebrate This? Of Course! Crude Sex Jokes!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Columbia Workshop.

So, remember all those crazy paranoid things that were supposed to happen, but didn't?

Because apparently Muir doesn't.

"They Should Be Calling For His Summary Execution! NOW!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Vic and Sade.

And this is why I fully expect this victory to be pissed down the GOP's leg in virtually no time at all.  They've got to placate the cray-cray.

"He Used To Read Me 'The Life of John Birch' To Help Me Get To Sleep!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because red brick house.

I'm pretty sure Wade screams about those commie government goombah, even as he goes to cash his Social Security check...

"Clearly, This Is The Gravest Injustice EVAR!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Young Tambling.

And again, remember the days when Jan didn't just confirm whatever crazy crap Muir was pushing?

"Thus Said The Man From The Future!"

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

When the characters you want to sound like sane neutral onlookers sound instead like crazed fascistic thugs, your effort at satire has gone greatly off the rails.

You Can Hear The Imaginary Canned Laugh Track In Your Mind...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because he struck his wife through the heart.

And Muir thinks these are strong female characters, remember...

"And This Does Not Demonstrate Our Own Arrogance, Ignorance, Bigotry And Outright Cowardice At All!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Thomas Cromwell.

I'd say Muir will find this embarassing in a few months, but then, Muir never finds anything embarassing at all.

"Our Cowardice, Paranoia, And Blind Panic Are Signs Of Strength!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Orson Welles is the Shadow.

I don't know what's worse--the mad misinformation about Ebola that Muir mindlessly repeats, or the continuing potrayal of the doctors and nurse who are willing to go into a plague zone to treat an illness as feckless liberals who will kill us all through.  It's all really the most dramatic contrast between the myth of himself that Muir likes to believe and the... more pathetic reality that we've seen in a while.

"Yeah! Aside From Us Being Empowered, Not Having To Face Mass Arrest, And Being Able To Vote, That Analogy's Perfect!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Kiss of the Spider Woman.

And I thought that The Day the Clown Cried was pretty much the bottom of the barrel when it came to Holocaust appropriation...

"And Don't Forget... The REPTILIANS!"

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

Muir is really, REALLY pushing this crazy conspiracy theory.  I suppose it gives a great narrative if the Repubs underpeform this year.

"We're Absolutely Sure This Isn't Us Being Paranoid!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Danny Boy.

Remember--the only way Dems can possibly win is if they cheat.  Because otherwise, that would mean Muir's philosophy isn't as transcendently right as he imagines...

"They'll Kill Us All! Let's Nuke NYC NOW! Just To Be Safe!"

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

And remember folks, cowardice is courage, bigotry is tolerance, ignorance is strength, and up is down.

"She's The Regular Target Of Our Five Minute Hates!"

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

And the children remain off-panel to avoid the fact that Muir can't draw kids.

"The World Is Prejuidiced Against White Folks!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because elaborate hoax.

When I was a very young man, the essential wisdom of Frank Zappa's noting that while not black, there were a whole lotta times he wished he could say he wasn't white, struck me.

And at times like this, I say that myself.

Women Just Love To Hear The Sam Eliot Clone Say Things!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because James III.

...

And then a bear lunges out of the trees.  Carrying a power tool.

"This Only PROVES Our Own Righteousness!"

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

Circular firing squads--take formation!

"Clearly A Nation That Has Regularly Had Military Coups Is The Bastion Of Liberty We Must Rush To!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Malik Shah.

Remember the days when Jan actually had opinions? 

Yeah, that was a long time ago, wasn't it?

"It's Everywhere! Run To Our Panic Rooms!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Church of Strangers.

Remember, folks--cowardice is the greatest form of courage there is.

"It Was All A Conspiracy! Just Like The Moon-Landing!"

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

Damon's brand of logic goes better with tinfoil hats than deerstalkers, I'm afraid...

"It HAS To Be A Plot! HAS TO BE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Magdalene of Brandenburg.

And you just know that Muir is simply transplanting his reaction to his imaginary Obama.  It's what makes it so... fun.

"By Declaring Things Stupid, They Become Stupid! Automatically!"

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

This sort of reminds me about the endless offense over studies about cow flatulence.  Which sound ridiculous until you realize how damn many of the things there actually are, and how they release enough gas to play a part in global climate change, and how, oh, yes, it's our decisions to raise them that causes all this.  And suddenly those 'silly' studies don't seem silly, but... well, kind of important.

This is a classic play by the self-proclaimed champions of small government--because science rather frequently involves doing things that sound silly if you describe them without any context, it's easy to use a few of the odder studies and experiments to make it sound as if tons of money are being blown on frivolous things.  That these studies are typically a rather small amount of the budget--a much smaller amount than the military spending many seem strangely fond of--is immaterial.  It sounds good to them, and so it must be true.

"And Bomb Shelters!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Charleston Chew.

...

...

The cowardly crazy is strong with this one.

"Soon We Shall Be Free Of The Leeches, So We May Leech Better!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Rod Steiger.

Of course, all the times Damon and Jan have enjoyed her father's wealth are completely justified.

And remember, the US is now an evil socialist dystopia!  Like in Atlas Shrugged! Only without the magic railroads. 

Among other things.

"This Proves She Is An Evil Jerk! And Not A Good Jerk, Like Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I will twine with my mingles and wavy black hair.

As usual Muir's ongoing efforts to make Skye the worst person imaginable are harmed by the fact that he has no idea how to make a character who isn't the worst person imaginable to anyone who approaches a normal psyche.

"Think We Can Recycle The Same Panel Again?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because be happy you have a 120 year lease.


Ahh, the high quality work that make DbD... what it is.

"Killing All Who Disagree With Us--Hurrah!"

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

When your characters all sound like stupid versions of Hannibal Lecter--it's a bad sign.

"Ahhh! We're All Gonna Die!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Lady From Shanghai.

Clearly, Obama has failed until we hear the borders have been shut, and potential Ebola victims warded away with gunshots...

"Also, We Sort Of Forgot To Put A Joke In. Not That We Expect You To Notice..."

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

...

...

Bears with power tools...

"Doesn't He Understand That Endless Brutality Is The Only Real Answer?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because being for the benefit of Mr. Kite.

They're in the same damn position as yesterday.  The same damn position.

"Since They Won't Make With The Full Cray-Cray, They're LAAAAADIES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because fear kills the mind.

I wait for the day when Republicans are viewed as sissies for not bludgeoning Democrats unconscious with canes in the chamber.

It'd be the ultimate sign of the 180 degree turn the Republicans have  made in their existence...

"What Important Things Did The Hubble Telescope Ever Discover Just By Looking, Hmmmm?"

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

I don't know what's worse--the awful attempt at philosophical depth, or the fact that the punchline doesn't connect to the start of the strip...

"See! They Were Just LYING About Hating War!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the vanishing of Ambrose Bierce.

Apparently whoever complied that tape didn't look very hard...

"They Are Diseased Vermin! Hiss! Hiss!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Emerald Isle.

There's nothing quite like the sight of a blustering coward convincing himself that his panic is courage.

"Yes, A Bunch Of Normal Guys. With A Billionare Friend."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because shouldn't talk about it.

Sometimes this strip reads like a less competent version of Lil' Orphan Annie, with strippers.  I'm serious.  It's got the same Democrat-bashing and the wealthy deus ex machina character.

"I'll Hide My Incompetence Behind A Monty Python Reference!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because delicate lotus petals.

...

Somehow, this doesn't surprise me.

"Clearly, The Super-Grown-Up Minority Needs To Be In Charge!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she went through the fair.

Well, good to see the wretched 26% fully embracing their inner fascist.  It makes things so much easier.

"Bad 'Star Wars' Jokes! That's What We Need!"

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

Well, now we know that the change in format isn't going to mean a change in quality.

It's still dire.

"That's Right, Hon--Sell That Format Change!"

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

As always with Muir, one is struck not only by his sexism, but his sheer ineptitude as an erotic artist...

"It's... It's Like Elected Officials That Think Government Is A Farce And A Problem Are Greed And Cynical, Or Something..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because la Mole.

And remember, the answer to this is people who believe more FERVANTLY in the Free Market!  That's it!  There is no other answer!

"It Was One Them There Pair A Bulls..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because by the rivers of Babylon.

"If we set the ship we're in on fire, they'll HAVE to listen to us!  They'll just have to!"

"Real 'Muricans Wear Cowboy Hats! An' Manly Stuff!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because canto nero.

Ahh, man.  As long Russian Guyovitch is just being Russian Guyovitch, he's a pretty likable goofball.  It's kind of symptomatic that Muir tends to imagine positive traits as negatives...

"Hurray! We Defeated The Evil Reverse-Racist!"

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

You can tell a lot about a person by their word choice. For example "black supremacist" tells you that you're dealing with an entitled white jackass.

Sister Against Sister, Sociopath Against Sociopath...

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

And remember, this is what Muir imagines to be the ideal relationship...

"We Will Grind Down All Your Individual Traits Until You Join The Right-Wing Collective!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's more than feeling...

That yellow background really doesn't help the strips.

When Even You Are Aware The Ideas Are Bad, It's Not A Good Sign...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wacky races.

The amazing thing is that there are people for who Muir's "nudes" are a draw...

"See, They Understand That They Don't Really Have To Be Loyal To The Usurpers..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because black dog and goat.

It's astonishing to watch things that happen go through the wingnut sphere  and become distorted beyond recognition, as if they entered the event horizon of a black hole.

Which in a way they did.

...Charming...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because no sun is shining anymore.

Hey... it's Boris Badenov spouting sexist drivel!  Hurrah!

"And I Will Also Be Hunting Moose and Squirrel!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Electric Ladyland.

Oh, Russian Guyovitch!  Who could stay mad at you, even if you are a terrible deadbeat dad?  You're still the closest Muir has ever gotten to writing a human being.  Even if he does have you talking like Ensign Chekov.

"Our Cast Is Freaky Small As It Is..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Pope Formosus.

And so Grandpa Texas becomes a cast member, blending in with such triumphant characters as El Dorado Dad and Samurai Mom to guarantee that every member of the previous generation is a crude stereotype.

"Hey, I Just Realized This Is Stupid, And Kinda Racist..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because New Cardiff!

Every now and then, the old Jan, who Muir wrote to be the wrong liberal foil peeks out, and reminds us that back then, she was the only likable character by default.

"See! They're Only Liberal Because They're Genetically-Predisposed To Be Parasites!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because obnoxious person.

Ahh.  Always fun to see the latest Right-Wing pseudoscience proclaiming that acting like a greedy twelve-year old is supermature and proof of how utterly right you are.

"This Bit Of Randism Is Clearly Right! Because It Has 'Science' In It!"

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

And of course, Muir knows that he and his are on the "right" side of that half, and so may curse the bugs on the ground with impunity...

"It Is Failing Because I Declare It Is Failing!"

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

So, how does one handle the world not fitting the "Obama is a commufascist Islamist terrorist hugger" meme?

One ignores the world, to focus on a realm of pure crazy.  After all--reality hasn't stopped Muir yet!

"It's All Really About The Illuminati! Even Liberal Jan Knows This!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Wind Rises.

Well, that was a big bowl of racist-sexist-crazy.  It's moments like this that the fact that all his characters are basically a racist white guy in a variety of masks shine through.

They Can Flaut Authority Through Violence! Hence Good!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Queen of Elves she crawled from a bush.

...

...

So, she needs to get out so she can... brutalize people heading into the US.

Yeah, Muir really has a bad sense of irony.

"Nudity And Other Sexist Stuff!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the king has been a prisoner and a prisoner long in Spain.

Yeah.  And Muir sets Skye up to be the villain here.  Classy.

"We're Just Playing This One By Ear Now, Folks..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we're going to Kashmir.

It somehow makes sense that Muir would eventually ruin the one halfway likeable character he's ever made.

"They'll Be Killing People For Us! Won't That Be Great?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because White Lotus Magic.

Forty acres and a mule.

More evidence for the "Muir doesn't actually understand history" folder.  (Which is now so full, it's actually two folders...)

And This Is Why Actually Knowing Things Is Helpful...

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

Muir.  He has a vague idea what's going on here.  Isn't that enough?

"After All, It's Perfectly Safe, Flying An Outdated Helicopter! Or As My Father Calls It, An Autogyro!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Yummy Mummy.


It's astonishing the number of bad ideas the cast think are good ideas.  It really is.

"Look At Our Incredible Daring!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the dirtiest town in the west.

...

Right.  So, anti-immigrant racism, meets anti-Muslim racism, meets crazy paranoia that puts effing ISIS on our southern border to create a little toxic bubble of hate.

No, It's More Like A Bad Episode Of 'Andy Griffith', With Two Barney Fifes...

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

...Wow.

Leaving aside the entire bad Game of Thrones comparison--they just moved to the compound.  I've been joking about for sometime now, and yet it has come to pass.

"Which Is Also Being Invaded By A Foreign Army, No?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Penelope Rich.

Man, this is why having your cast members light off to foreign war zones is a bad idea...

"These Awesome Guns Prove Your Awesome Awesomeness!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because bitter water.

And remember, in this strip, these people are the sacred holders of all that is good and pure.

"Sorry 'Bout The Continuity Snarl... Here's Some Artillery."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because all the young kids.

It's always funny, watching Muir realize he's made an error, because for every one he catches, there are half a dozen he misses, and the solution he uses are almost invariably more ridiculous than the initial problem...

"You're Totally Like The Slavocratic Military Dictator Of The Nastiest City In Greece!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I ride through the city's backsides.

Something scary started when the US started admiring the Spartans instead of scorning them...

"Yee Ha! Remember The Alamo!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wrought iron.

Texan Dad.  He's from Texas. 

Yep.

"See? Tracing Him Is Cool, Because I've Lampshaded It!"

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

And yet another clichéd parent appears.  I shall call Zed's dad "TEXAN GUY"!  Because that is apparently exactly how much thought Muir put into his character.

"Yep, A Crude Moron, Just Like Me..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because why not?

And remember, he thinks this shows what quality people Zed père and frère are.

"I Watch It For The Boobies!"

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

Ahh, yes.  More of the brilliant Damon wit...

"I See Now That Bigotry And Evil Are The Way Of The Righteous!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Bananas Foster.

...

Says the (fictional) woman whose husband doesn't believe in global warming, or any science that inconveniences him for that matter.

Astonishing how Muir's characters get stupider as his approval for them grows, isn't it?

"Yeah! They're All Teh Gays!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Humpty Dumpty.

Ah, yes, the ongoing "improvement" of Jan into another hateful idiot bigot.  Muir's cast continues its ongoing efforts to be the most obnoxious bunch of assholes imaginable.

"They Are Naturally Subversive! Hiss! Hiss!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Joe Cocker.

And remember, we're the bigoted ones, for not accepting this self-evident truth.

"Not Like The Glorious Bastions Of Freedom That Are Republican Cities!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Derby Dilly.

And so Jan realized yet again that her cherished values were evil and wrong.

"His Brand Of Ultra Right-Wing Philosophy Is Different Than My Brand, And Therefore Wrong! Also--Boobies!"

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

It's sort of like watching a Three Stooges skit transformed into a philosophical discussion.

Or rather, an attempt at one.

"The Cop Who Shot A Man Is A Victim, You Uppity Negro!"

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

And there's the racism, thick and heavy.  (But remember, folks, saying Muir's is being racist when he's being racist is racist on the Square Planet.)

"Why Can't You Leave Those Fine Gentlemen In The Feguson PD Alone?"

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

Right.  How dare he not simply allow the Ferguson police to handle it in the sterling manner in which they are doing?  Why this is just like the Sixties, when those damn Northerners came south and started interfering with the natural order. 

"I Really Can't Keep My Arguments Straight..."

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

Yeah, and they stay married because...

"You're Parasites, Plain And Simple!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pulled pork.

...Yeah, the mental jujitsu necessary to make this the Democrats' fault is... quite extraordinary...

"Also, Remember To Hang Your Food In A Tree!"

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

Muir.  Trying so hard to be wacky, with a determinedly bad sense of humor.  Sort of like a bad National Lampoon movie.

"Distracting Thing! Distracting Thing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because John Cowper Powys.

Ahh, yes, let's focus on the most sordid side of the byzantine power struggles that mark Texas politics and avoid dealing with Missouri until the tear gas is all gone...

"Oppression! Wimmen! Bodily Fluids!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because only $5.00.

I think we're building to a REAL bit of Muir-style crazy in the near future.

"You Are Not One Of The Privileged Few Who Know The Truth!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you remember Uncle Joe--he was the one who was afraid to cut the cake.

Oh well.  At least he isn't using Damon to explain what's going down in Missouri to us.

...

...

Crap.  It's going to be awful.

"His Name Is Funny! That Means His Argument Is Invalid!"

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

...

...

Yeah.  It doesn't mean what you think it means, Muir.

"Not You Silly Women. Or Those Bush-dwelling Blacks! And Forget About Those Heathen Chinese!"

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

The best part of this idiotic racist twaddle is that Muir is about as much a standard-bearer for civilization as Orval Faubus was in his day...

"Everyone Is So Mean To Us Because We're So AWESOME!"

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

Yeah.  Yeah.  You know, with the shit that's going down in Missouri, this self-pity and self-inflation disguised as commentary is really stomach-turning...

"The Assault On Our Belief That We're Inherently Better Is The Worst Sort Of Racism At All!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because smooth going down.

And remember, it's funny because they're married.  And very NOT-racist.

"Black Racists Who Persecute White NOT-Racists Like Us!"

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

Yes, Muir knows what REAL racism is--anything against white people--and what REAL Christianity is--whatever he believes.  And he knows that his opponents are degenerate and cowardly, and that he could whip them in a fist fight, if it ever came to that.

Not that it ever will, but he knows he could.

"I'm Sure They're Waving The Muslims Right Through!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because oooh, child.

So inconvenience and security measures cause Muir to fantasize about murderous rampages?

Nice to know.

"He Should Be Riding A MONSTER TRUCK!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's a hard knock life.

And now he's insulting Obama for doing something I rather doubt Muir is physically capable of--he strikes me as the kind of guy who is beer-muscling his way through life, imagining that if a real fight comes up, he would naturally be triumphant.  And praising Putin.  Ahh, American Right wing "patriots".  Admiring an idiot de facto dictator, and wishing we had someone like that here.

"He Cannot Equal The Quality Journalism FOX!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because journeyman work.

The Right.  Still reveling a dirty little "triumph" years later...

"And I'm Betting It's Filled With Smelly Jerks!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because say her name fifty times.

Muir's never one to let a lack of information prevent him from forming an immediate, rock-hard, and highly critical opinion.

"One Day, We Shall Liberate Them From Their Oppression!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Dinah won't you blow your horn?

Ahh, cheap sexism and Clinton bashing.  Muir swiftly returns to form.

"I'm Sorry, Dear! I'm Being Almost Funny!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because James Fenimore Cooper.

Ahh.  Muir's semi-yearly almost clever strip. 

Of course,  there is the question of WHY he's reading the medication list right then...

Like Marilyn Monroe. Only... Bad.

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

...Why does Muir imagine he knows how to make things sexy?  Why?

"We Are So Being Oppressed!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because 42 in '47.

Ahh, the never-ending whine of imagined white privilege.  Because you know you deserve things by being innately better than... those people.

"They Don't Respect Us! That's Why They Must All Die!"

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

"Hey, why do people respond to us acting like jerks as if we were acting like jerks?"

"They Are Trying To Keep The White Man Down!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring.

Well, it's illegal to just ask suspected illegals to show you their papers on the street.  For reasons that are pretty obvious when one pauses to think on it. 

"They Are Unworthy And Weak, As They Won't Go Full Crazy!"

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

Yeah.  Sure.  Right.  Republicans problem is they're too nice and yielding.  Right.

"How Dare They Attack Our 51st State!"

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

Ahh, the surest sign of patriotism--loyalty to the aims of another nation over your own, and regardless of any ethical concerns.

"I Mean, They're Clearly Not Mexican! So Why Should They Have To Wait?"

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

Well, on the one hand we missed having Damon explain the inner decadence of liberalism to Skye again.  On the other--we got this strip, which demonstrates that Muir doesn't even think through his complaints...

"See! This Is What All Liberals REALLY Want!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because scrambled eggs.

And two to one, Muir uses his fake black man and his fake liberal to have a fake discussion tomorrow.

"Now, Let's Destroy Our Cellphones!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pom far.

Guns.  The answer to all of life's problems, in the Muirverse.  Including guns.

Pinups From Hell.

It's the Day's Day of Days!   Because I have heard the rumors of the Thugee cult.

And the worst thing about Muir's softcore?\

He's so bad at it.

"And This Shows How We're The Good Guys!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the cuckoo's a pretty bird.

The evil decadence of the left must be fought, so that the good decadence of the Right may triumph!

"Maybe... Damn It, Can't Think Of A Crass Sex Joke To Top That One!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's the gum.

Ahh... DbD's twin fortesses of sexism and racism.  Could Muir even write the strip without them?

I wager 'no'.

"I Mean--Assassination And Rule By The Gun--These Are GOOD Things, Right?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's day and night she followed him.

But remember, folks, if the Secret Service were to start checking on these heavily-armed people who seriously talk about killing the President, it'd be tyranny. 

"If It Ain't Snake-Handler, It Ain't REAL Christianity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because red coat.

And Zed and Sam are proud that they are not fooled by the CONSPIRACY!  They know that real Christian groups treat poverty--with harsh raps on the skull, for being lazy!

"Doubtless, She Will Be Fo-Shizzling!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'll be in my great castle--inquire for Reynardine.

...

...

...

Yeah.  To paraphrase Zero Mostel, "they think they're witty".

"And This Proves It's All Hokum!"

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

Somehow, I get the impression Muir was just thrilled to write those opening panels.

"I Have Seen It In A Flying Saucer!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it was indescribable.

America's racists just keep getting crazier, don't they?  There's no bottom--they just keep falling further and further down...

"We Must Protect Our Sacred UltraBigotry From The Bigots Who Think Hating People Is Wrong!"

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

Yes, you're the good and noble ones here.  Somehow.  Right.

"We've Got To Nip It In The Bud!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I Capture the Castle.

And remember folks--Muir's imaginary black friend sees what a big deal this is.  Don't you?

"Doesn't He Understand That Racial Issues Are A Zero-Sum Game?"

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

Chris Muir, demonstrating once again why he shouldn't talk about some subjects...

"They're The Nazi-Analogues! Not The Self-Appointed Border Guards!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Midnight Express.

Amazing how Muir always insists, against large amounts of evidence, that his side is the persecuted ones in any arrangement...

"We Aren't Racist! We Have Imaginary Black And Hispanic Friends!"

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

Ahh, the modern Right's answer to racism.

Insist doesn't exist.  They like black people, and just wish they wouldn't be so uppity...

"And That Is Why The Killing Shall Begin!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Alexandru Lăpușneanu.

You know the funny thing about that whole 'future spree killer' rant is that Muir remains convinced that the country is now on his side, and soon, soon, President Blacula's doom will be nigh.

This about the twentieth time he's prophesized the upcoming revolution, and it's gotten ever more tiresome.

"Shun The TAINTED ONE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Prester John.

I'm half expecting them to launch into that clone scream from the Invasions of the Body Snatchers remake...

"They Should Understand That Women Are The Inferior Sex!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm a lonely boy.

...

Those children are still demonspawn. 

"And Let's Not Forget The Fluoride In The Water, Hon!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because and midgets.

So... does the fact that this evil plan doesn't make any sense whatsoever matter to Muir?

Oh, what am I saying.  Of course not.

"You See, If You Don't Understand Things, It's Easy To Make Everything A Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because tiger fudge.

Man, I'm having Clinton flashbacks.  Because that was the thing with Clinton--back when he was President, you didn't just hear that he was a bad president, you heard he was bad period, and involved in vast conspiracies to smuggle drugs, kill people, and undermine the nation.

And this from people who'd looked the other way when a previous President had authorized selling weapons to terrorists.  So that we could finance OTHER terrorists.

"Clearly, He Is Just Being Random And Evil!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the mirror on reflection, has climbed back on the wall.

...

...

Yes, of course, the President WANTS this to happen, so that he can... do something.  LOOK, JUST ACCEPT THAT HE'S EVIL INCARNATE, OKAY?

"And A Bunch Of Crazy People Who Belive Shit Like This!"

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

...

...

This manages to be simultaneously pathetic and subtly nerve-wracking.

"It Was A Fraud! The Burger Wasn't Actually Gay!"

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

...

...

And remember, folks, Damon is supposedly highly intelligent.

"We Should Just Torch It All! Let The Free Market Decide Whether People Need Fingers!"

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

The first rule of being a female character in DbD--always be posing.

"Patriotism=BOOBIES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Jonathan Sumption.

...

Never since Fellini has a man succeeded in making nudity so unappealing.  And Fellini did intentionally.

"Why, I Wish I Could Kill And Skin The Whole Lot Of Them!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Beer Hall Putsch.

...

...

...

The irony, it is biting...

"And Fantasizing About Killing The President Through Inhumane Methods Proves How American We Are!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the faithful hussar.

Of course, in the real world, I'd give Muir's pals exactly five minutes if they tried to actually seize control of a government. 

"Seriously--The Check Is In The Mail!"

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

The lack of talent here is quite painful, when you get down to it...

"Yes, Fund More Quality Entertainment Like This!"

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

Next up--offering the used bottle of whiskey that serves as "inspiration"...

And They Stay Married... Why?

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because monkey of the mind.

"No, no, be glad I'm the slut-shaming, warmongering hypocritical asshole you know and love, who pulls passive-aggressive shit like this all the time..."

"The Gag Is The Plot Really Has Gone Completely Off The Rails!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because warlord period.

You know, the ultrafast recap gag is so old that you pretty much have to do a twist on it to make it work.  But that would take imagination, and Muir doesn't have that...

"Racism And Penis Jokes. A Winning Combination."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a magic mushroom growing in the muck.

You know, this reminds me Archer.  Except that Muir doesn't realize that his cast is loathsome.  And thus, it isn't funny.

"Which Proves How Not Racist My Main Characters Are!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Pablo Escobar's hippos.

And now, enjoy a family drama from hell...

"I Have To Rush To The Side Of My Magically Appearing Father To Save Him From The Beaner Hordes!"

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

Wow.  Truly awful writing, and racist hysteria in one strip.  Thomas Dixon, eat your heart out.

"He's Funny-Looking!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Public Enemy.

Or in other words, still nothing, but it might just be an exciting nothing.  Soon.  He's SURE  of it!

"They're All Turning Against Me! And So They Must All Perish!"

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

I see that the number of people ideologically pure enough to satisfy Muir continues to drop.  Remember--you have to hate all the right people, or you no longer count, and are now eligible for hatred.

"It Has Nudity And Conspiracy Theories! How Can It Miss?"

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

Most bored wives who take up writing do it about vampires.

"So... He's An Absolute Monarch Who Has To Call An Estates-General To Raise Taxes?"

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

You know, this tortured analogy gets more tortured every time Muir uses it.  One wishes he would read an actual history of the things he talks about, but that's sort of like wishing for wings, isn't it?

"Clearly, This Is An Issue Of Vital Importance..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Luis Maria.

You know I think the diet of nothingburger "scandals" is starving Muir...

"I Know That If I Ever Crawled Out Of The Basement, I Would Find The Streets Aflame!"

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

The bubble's gone toxic, I see...

"It Has To Be Pure Evil That Causes This! It's The Only Reason!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Garde Ecossaise.

...

...

Yeah.  The crazy is strong with this one...

"See! The Joke Is I'm Referring To STDs!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Frampton comes alive.

And remember, folks, Damon is supposed to be "highly intelligent".

"But We'll Fight Them, No Matter What Magical Powers They Possess."

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

Muir's efforts at a message of hope suffer from the fact that he doesn't realize that he's the paranoid one pushing conspiracy theories. 

They'll Have To Call It The Second Whiskey Rebellion...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because die the noblest of noble deaths.

As Muir once again waxes rhapsodic that everything he's always been saying has been proven utterly true, ONCE AGAIN--only, he never seems to quite remember the last time he said that--the stirring call to arms is issued.  And so, we are once again assured that Muir and his fellows will be taking to the streets ANY DAY NOW.  Only, not really.  But eventually.  Maybe.

"Was It Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Charles the Rash.

Ahh, yes.  Ultraright-wing history.  Like actual history, only wrong and evil.

"That's Why We Should Limit The Franchise Again!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because John Candy, in the role of a lifetime.

And remember, folks, he thinks he's helping his case.

"That Decadent Fool! Our Nudity Loving Readers Know His Inner Weakness!"

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

Muir always gets crass even by his standards as the fundraiser drags on.  And considering that those standards are pretty low as is...

"Our Epic Triumph Means That More Money Is Bound To Come! Soon!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because mother of mercy! Is this the end of Rico?

Every year, the fundraiser takes a little longer, and I think Muir is starting to get distressed.  Now it's cutting into his gloating time at the defeat of a Republican by another Republican.

"They Should Totatlly Do It, The Pussies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you're gonna need a bigger boat.

I almost feel sorry for the Republicans.  Then I remember they chose to drink the crazyevil.

Jim Morrison Would Turn In His Grave, But He's No Longer Buried In It...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Vinland Saga.

Chris Muir, demonstrating that the spirit of Cliff Claven lives on in the American Right...

Another Thing For The Troggs To Complain About.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Fantabulous Contraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel.

Yeah.  This one of the ones where you're left with the feeling that Muir's twin muses were his endless search for True Scotsmen, and old Jack Daniels.

"And I Clearly Know What I'm Talking About!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a hole in the sleeve.

Right.  That's why they want it.  Not so they can sort genuine death threats from stupid jokes.  Nope.  To track sarcasm. 

"Cause They're All Dead, You Know. That's Why We Have To Speak For Them."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Manchu Bannermen.

Hmm how about this--they'd see you as the whiny, treasonous "America Firsters" you are, and give you a black eye for pretending to know what fascism is.

Oh, and enjoy this scene from The Best Years of Our Lives, which demonstrates that yes, assholes have always been fond of flag pins.

"This Is Clearly Treason By My Ever-Varying Definition That Never Includes My Own Treasonable Actions!"

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

Because it's not like this sort of thing has ever happened before.  Only... for missiles, to name a hypothetical.

"Many, If We Could Only Return To The Halcyon Days Of Bush!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because down with the traitors.

Ahhh... Concern troll is concerned.  And wants you to forget that his solution to all this is...

LOOK AT THE PRETTY BIRD!

"I'm Sticking By The Leperous Color Scheme!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because great atomic power.

Yeah.  It's funny how Muir's attempts to approve his art generally wind up looking creepy and awful, isn't it?

"Gimme Money!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Barbara Radizwill.

Perhaps someone should point out to him that donations to keep a comic running aren't really how the free market works at all...

Ehh, he hasn't managed to figure that out so far...

"This Is SO Going To Turn Out To Be A Big Deal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because more than just survival.

And in two years, this will be one of those constantly referenced items from within the right wing bubble that can't live outside of them...

"This Proves All These Are BAD!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Mehmet Agha Azzam.

Using a multiple murderer to prove your sexist bullshit is right.

Yeah, I'm going to put this as a new low on Muir's part.

"And This Makes All The Ogling Of Women All Right!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Francis Stephen.
Some times I think Freud would have a field day with this strip...

"She Is Old And Icky, And Definitely Evil!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because devil's ear.

And again underneath the screaming the furtive whisper 'What will we do in 2016?'

"Snort Up The Outrage, Folks!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because what a nightmare!

Muir--always on the lookout for something to be offended about...  Come on--living in a state of rage takes a lot out of you!  Hate must be fueled!

"We Need To Declare War On Mexico, And Shoot The Rich People Who Don't Vote Our Way!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a horse.

Right wing populism is an interesting beast.  After all the saber-rattling is done, it is if anything even MORE resentful of the wealthy, and yet it tends to channel that resentment at a select group of targets--the rich people who aren't a member of the group.  Naturally, if the group narrows... things get messy.

"If We Can't Keep Dangerous Amounts Of Ammo Around, And Occasionally Threaten And Kill People, How Will Our Lives Be Worth Willing?"

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

The irony here is just... oozing, isn't it?

"We're Not Projecting! You Are! YOU ARE THE CRAZY, EVIL ONES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Durres, Albania.

And of course, there is no grotesque distortion of positions, words, and events in that entire list.  And even Liberal Jan sees the obvious truth here!

"And This Proves All These Things Are Bad!"

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

Slow news day, I'm guessing...

"Why Does Everybody Suddenly Look Like They Have Leprosy? MAKEUP!"

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

Yeah, somehow the incredibly weird coloring manages to overshadow the typical "everyone to the left of me is a communist!' shenanigans.  Because... damn.

"Maybe We Should Get Back On Our Meds. We're Starting To Do The Word Association Thing..."

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

"And remember, once again, even Liberal Jan knows the conspiracy is real, and out to get you and that we are in danger, and arglebargle... NURSE, MORE SERUM!  I NEED it for my mind!"

"And I Know What Communists Are!"

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

Simple version...  "We got nuttin' for 2016."

Leer As I Bash That Horrible Horndog, Clinton!

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

And remember, he doesn't see the contradiction in all this.

"You... Keep... Showing That Picture, Zed..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Il Negri.

...

Yeah.  Yet another disturbing, yet unexpectedly enlightening look into Muir's psyche. 

"Ha, Ha! This Is So Funny, And Proves How Stupid They Are! And How Smart I Am!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Cao Xueqin.

And we again see the paradox of the Right, which fears oppression by a government that it also sees as comically inept.

"I'm Not! You Are!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because slow ride.

I believe people's big problem with Tebow was that he was a self-aggrandizing asshole, with the over-the-top displays of "piety" being a quirk of that.

"Heh Heh. I Make Funny Bout Gay!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars our are men.

Those bastards.  Screaming their empathy at you.

"Yeah, Obama's An Evil Dummy! Not Like Me, A Good Smartie!"

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

And remember, even Liberal Jan knows the conspiracy is real.

"I Think I Understand What I'm Talking About, At Least..."

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

So, he watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, recently? 

"My Right To Act Like A Jerk Comes From God Himself!"

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

...Uh huh.

The worst part is he thinks that helps his case.

"Heh! Did You Catch Their Witty Byplay?"

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

...Somehow, he always finds a way to make them more loathsome. 

"And This Is Totally Not A Crazy Conspiracy Theory, Because My Imaginary Liberal Agrees!"

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

I wonder what happens when 2016 rolls around and elections happen right on schedule.

Probably we are told that the conspiracy has reached a newer, more subtle level of evil.

"Admittedly, I Had To Do A Few Hits For Our Boss..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Cthulhu fhtagn. 

So Muir thinks the continued reveling in the easy outs and privileges enjoyed by his thoroughly loathsome characters makes for sterling entertainment.  Instead of watching jerks get away with things.

"Well, We'll Stand Tall Against The Evil Forces Of Commufascism!"

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

Watch, as Muir proudly reveals his ignorance of history and politics!   Watch as Mussolini and Lenin get put right next to each other on the political spectrum, based on... facial expressions, apparently. 

"Enjoy My Groping, Dear!"

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

Yeah.  I thought about making a comment about the rampant sexism in this strip--but instead I'll focus on the fact that a wonky coloring job has turned Damon pea green.

"Our Married Life Is Internet Endorsements And Petty Sniping!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because clown shoes.

Well, I suppose after the high crazy the last week or so has been we needed a comedown, in the form of a cartoon that is merely dull, unfunny and a blatant endorsement of a book Muir just read...

"The Mere Fact That He Needs A Lawyer Proves He Is Guilty!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because and then... came Bronson!

Muir's really not the kind of guy you want on juries, is he?

"See? This Proves... SOMETHING! What, I Don't Know--BUT SOMETHING!"

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

And it begins, again...

"She Is Such An Entitled Loser, Who Is Not Like Me At All!"

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

As we watch more Right myths get trotted out, the question becomes--is Muir really so blind as to miss how his cast is a bunch of foolish, loathsome hypocrites?

And the answer is apparently 'yes, yes, he is'.

"Why Is It No One Passes Our Perfect Purity Tests?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because love is all around me, and so the feeling grows.

Keep those circular firing squads firing!

"You Don't Deserve Our Help Like The Other Cast Members Do!"

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

And once again, Muir tries to make Skye the worst, but merely makes her one jerk among jerks.

"And Of Course All Of This Is Perfectly Legal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because horn of doom.

The sad thing is, Muir thinks that this makes his cast even more likable rebels against the evil government...

On the other hand, El Dorado Dad gets ever more... disturbing...

"How Dare They Attack Our Godgiven Right To Be Racist!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the bonny shoals of herring.

And now Ray Bradbury joins the ranks of authors Muir's "homaged".  I suspect he'd find it less than flattering.  But then Ray was always an odd man...

"It HAS To Be A Conspiracy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because if I had wings like Noah's dove, I'd fly up the river to the one I love.

Yes.  The fact that so many Republicans are facing legal troubles HAS to be the result of evil plotting.  It can't be the result of a party whose philosophy that government is the problem makes its members even more likely to engage in corrupt practices when in power, and prone to see themselves as above the law, which creates more problems.  Nope.  I mean, sure, when Democrats are facing problems, it's proof of their party's lack of moral fiber and danger to these United States--but Republicans?  Nah, just a plot.  Just a plot.

Two Different Demonstrations Of Awfulness.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's the laying in the ground that's long.

And here we see Muir treating Damon's awfulness as if it was lovable, and him treating his paranoid theories as if they were fact.

Fun times.  Fun times.

"It Confuses Me Therefore It's Meaningless!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because they could no longer there.

Ahh, the same fine grasp of issues that had Muir praising the Iraqi War for years...

"So, See? Bundy Actually Likes Black People BETTER Than LBJ!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because shoals of herring.

And remember--he thinks this is a killer argument. 

"And Then, She Would Have... Punched Him In The Nose!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because gate of horn.

Well, as we see, Muir's keeping up his track record on foreign affairs. 

"Pfft. Should Have Named Him After Reagan!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because with mango.  For flavor.

And now another reminder that Jan is one of THOSE people...  even if she is one of the good ones, who generally can be counted on to support real Murikans.

You know, it says something that "liberal" and "Hispanic" are pretty much interchangeable in Muir's inner vocabulary.  With both being synonyms for "other".

"And What Makes It Evil Is It's Not A Real Army!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Joel McCrea in Foreign Correspondent.

Next up--the conspiracy to sap and unpurify our bodily fluids.

"They're, Like, Totally Oppressing Me, Man!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tabasco Habanero.  It's a Jamaican-style sauce.

Muir screams about the police state.  In the comic strip he publishes online.

You know, somehow the jerks who used to beat up the hippies have now acquired all the hippies' worse traits, while remaining the vile bastards they always were at heart.  Thus becoming something new and terrible.

"We're Just Like The Founding Fathers! Only, Without The 'Taxed Without Representation' Bit!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Yep.  Just like 1776.  Minus the actual thinking about things.  And the actual courage.  For a start.

"And The Version We Thought Up After Huffing Paint Shall Become The Accepted Reality!"

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

Yeah, why do people pick on you guys?  You're just a bunch of government-hating, gun-hoarding nuts who regularly break the law.  Upstanding citizens, all the way.

"Yeah... Diplomatic Immunity Really, REALLY Doesn't Work Like That..."

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

And Zed responds to his "unjust persecution"--ONCE AGAIN--with the very sort of actions he's being "unjustly persecuted" for.  But hey--he's a good guy, and that makes it right by default.

"Thank God That We Have Ultrapowerful Connections..."

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

You know, moments like this, Muir's absolute failure as an artist hits you.  With years of work, he's created a lousy strip with small cast of loathsome characters who don't make any sense. 

"Real Heroes Abuse Their Connections And Hide Behind Legal Loopholes!"

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

Ahh.  Yes.  Muir's All-American hero can mock authority... thanks to his connection to a shadowy, wealthy South American.

You know--in fiction, that's usually a... villain thing.

"It's Like There's Some Kind Of System To What They're Doing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ahhh-oooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Does Zed imagine that because he showed up they should have cancelled the raid?  Instead of this being a simple way of quite possibly having the dangerous government sniper who's been known to treat the law as something for other people out of the way when you raid his place?

"Our Righteous War Against Our Own Government Shall Continue With Many Glorious Victories!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Wowie Zowie, you're so neat!

So the guys who came with all the rifles, and threatened to kill people?  Not terrorists. 

Just so you knew.

"So, It Doesn't Count, Because We Think Someone Is Cheating!"

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

So clearly the only solution was for a horde of militias to converge on the area, so that the federal agents had to back off or risk the damn thing turning into Waco with cattle.  Because that what you do when you have justice on your side.  Appeal to force.

"Flag On The Moon! How'd It Get There?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because maybe we could all learn a thing or two from those sandwiches.

Some times, the crazy around the latest Right Wing Issue of the Day flies so thick it subsumes the actual issue.

"Everyone Knows That Texans Are The Bestest Southerners, Who Are The Bestest Murikans!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because to Zeppelin, Led.

Once again--Muir is from upstate New York. 

"And They're Tracking You By YOUR FILLINGS!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because cream cheese.

Let the crazy paranoia be unleashed so that Muir can indulge in a bit of ridiculous machismo through Captain Mitty, and whine about how persecuted he is from a position of more or less complete security. 

And let us all enjoy some of the worst drawn action scenes imaginable.  Because you know--they are coming.

"Time To Move To The Compound!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because directed by Akira Kurosawa.

You know, in the face of the crazy paranoia, I'm going to focus on that central panel of Zed that is one of the fugliest things Muir has ever done.

I mean... damn.

"Yep, Just Showing My Vast Expertise On Foreign Policy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because crazy eye.

One reaches a point where one realizes that the crazy in this strip is so great that its commentary on current events has become  utterly nonsensical because it is completely out of joint with the world as it actually exists...

"And Naturally, We Of The Right Had Nothing To Do With This..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Season 3.

Muir seems to have mixed up Mal and the Operative.

But then, he also seems to have mixed up modern America (which I will add does have numerous civil rights issues that have cropped up in the pursuit of 'security')  and an actual police state.

See, I'd Get Her For Being The Wife Of A Military Sniper...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because one hand clapping.

Ahh, yes, Muir.  Tell us how everyone else is a parasite.

"It's So Cool That He Threatens People Like That!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it was the fish.

Muir applauds a man as loony as he is for talking shit, as he goes through the usual 'everyone else is intolerant for not applauding our intolerance.'

"And Naturally, I Fail To See The Irony In All This!"

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

So in the other words, you're a sociopathic bastard because they made you act like one, as a response to your previous sociopathic bastardry.  Got it.

"They Also Worship The Devil Over There! And Poison Our Wells!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because investigation of a citizen above suspicion.

The danger of creating a bubble around yourself is that everyone not in the bubble starts looking worse and worse to you.

Which tends to result in you making the bubble ever thicker, and ever smaller...

And Abbot And Costello Turn In Their Graves...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's that guy!

Well, given Muir's track record, I think we can safely place all that as 'stuff that definitely won't happen'.

"Yeah! Plotting Crazy Crimes And Stuff!"

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

Damon showing once again that he's a stupid person's idea of a smart person.

"And I Naturally Have No Response To That..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because in lost Caracosa.

And here we see Jan doing her important job of showing that liberals can only agree with whatever crazy charge Muir brings up.

Remember folks, Liberal Jan speaks for imaginary liberals everywhere in the DbD universe!

"See? They're The Evil Corrupt Ones! NOT US!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Q-Bert.

One wonders how Muir squares this up with the Sinister Democratic Conspiracy Against Guns.  But then it's Muir.  Holding two opposing ideas in his head at the same time and failing to see how they clash is par for the course.

"Everyone Who Isn't Exactly Like Us Is EVIL INCARNATE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because William Holden.

Ahh, the bubble gets ever smaller, and sees more and more threats to its integrity, doesn't it?

The Wacky Hijinks Of Our Lovable Cast...

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

...

...

Bears with power tools.  NOW, DAMN IT!

"How DARE They Not See Healthcare As A Threat To Our American Way Of Life!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame with the rain in Shambala.

That's right!  Don't let ANYTHING pierce the bubble.  Any point of view not Right Wing is HERESY!  If your friends and family dare expose you to it, whine, moan, pitch a fit!  Anything to keep your beautiful mind free of the taint.

"I'm NEVER Leaving The Bastion of Racial Safety That Is Florida!"

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

...

...

It's times like this that Damon's whole 'imaginary black guy written by a white guy' status really gets obnoxious.

"Yeah... We've Never Actually Seen That Movie, Have We?"

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

...

...

Bears.  With.  Power tools.

"She's Inferior Liberal Scum, And Lacks Our Superior Right-Wing Feelings!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because hell is for heroes.

You know... when Nazis had an actual raid, it didn't... go like that...

"How Dare They Point Guns At White People!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a horse is a horse, of course, of course.

Clearly, Muir is focused on the vital issues of the day.

"Clearly, This Is A Grave And Awful Threat!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Venus, Cupid and Satyr.

Sometimes, DbD is a work of aggressive insanity.  And other times, it is a work where Muir old man whines, and talks about bad books he's reading.

I don't know which is worse, actually.

"I Mean, Seriously, How Can She Resist That?

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because E. F. Benson.

...

The awkward unwitting psychological revelations continue.

"We're A Magic Wonderful Land!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because poppa would have shot him.

So... despite our constitution being OLDER than the Marxism that he paints as horribly old-fashioned, our nation is younger because special magical handwave...

...I am keeping my face from slamming into my desk through immense mental effort right now.  I just want to make that absolutely clear.

"It's Like Van Gockgh Said..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Lubusz Land.

Let's watch Muir imagine he's profound, ehh?  I've no doubt it will be entertaining...

"Yeah! She's An Old Hag! HA HA!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Ernst Ludwig.

And remember, when even Liberal Jan says it...

Well, then even Liberal Jan says it.

And There Is Nothing Odd About This Analogy At All...

It' s the Day's Day of Days!  Because French horn.

You know, leaving aside the... obvious jokes that occur to me on the subject of Chris Muir's latest mancrush, I just have to say that this is what comforts me in the long run.  Oh, the Right may enjoy the momentary swell in mainstream confidence thanks to blunders and faults by their opponents--by they will fritter it away on displays of self-gratification, because they just don't realize how obnoxious they are.

"And BB Guns! And Nitroglycerine!"

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

Ahh, Muir remembering the good ol' days, before a bunch of crybabies who got their fingers blown off ruined it for the rest of us...

"Yeah, He Was A Total Fake! Total!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we're scratched by scattered needles.

Ah, the grand old Right Wing respect for vets, which vanishes the moment they don't vote their way.  Makes you cry, don't it?

"Not For Da Smarties Like Us Guys!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the casting of the runes.

Ohh, Muir, why don't you follow this up with some climate change denial?  It all goes together so well!

"Why Can't They Just Stick To The Kitchen?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I need someone beside me in everything I do.

Oddly enough, the pair seem surprised they've produced a psychopath, instead of pleased at a successful reaching of the goal.

And damn it, Muir still can't draw kids.

"He's A Fascist Thug, AND A Weak As Water Liberal!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because yub nub.

It's time for everyone's favorite game 'what Barack is Muir complaining about now?'  Is it the iron-fisted commufascist dictator?  The pathetic weakling who should stand back and let the real Muricans handle things?  The bumbling fool who any right-winger is so much smarter than?  Just remember--whatever Muir needs to feel, there's a Barack for it.

"I Immediately Assumed You Were Doing Something Sexually Provocative!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because London Speculator.

How can one mistake the two words--they may start the same, but they sound very different, and the sentence Zed imagines is nonsense.

"The Novel That Was Nominated For The Breakaway PseudoHugo Award For Novels Like It?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the world is round, it blows my mind.

Ah, libertarian science fiction.  A genre dominated by eternal twelve year-olds who insist they are the manliest men, yes they are.

"How Dare He Attempt To Champion Reality!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because duel of the fates.

And those examples Muir is ignoring, the rest of the First and a good chunk of the Third World. But hey, Muir has his careful little bubble--the one that lead him to feel that Iraq was a glorious success until he suddenly started pretending it didn't happen.

"We're Just Like People Actually Fighting Against Tyranny!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because each lonely day spent looking for the sunshine.

I wonder what Muir will do when the bloody crackdown doesn't happen...

Ahh, but that's the great things about conspiracy theories--they always adjust to the new circumstances, and ignore the failure of past predictions.  Sort of like doomsday prophets.  Only slightly crazier.

"Giving People National Health Care Is EXACTLY Like Invading Sovereign Territory!"

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

Other common symptoms of psychopathy are lack of judgment, poor insight and massive egocentrism.  Because of this, they are prone to see threats where there are none, and react violently.

Sound like anyone we know?

"I Am The Paterfamilias!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Emperor Leopold.

Well, at least we aren't seeing the creepy devilspawn.

The Lesson--Don't Spawn.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Brandenburg-Kulmbach.

Ahhh--Muir tries his hand at a tired old cliché.  And botches it utterly.

Plus, the demonspawn.

"Get It? Get It? GET IT?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because God made good.

As we watch the gun nut accuse the other side of being the death cult members, let us remember--Muir almost certainly owns guns. 

Comforting, eh?

"Not That I'm Saying We Should... Do Anything, Mind You?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ain't that a kick in the head.

Photographs and home addresses.

Every year of my life, I watch the gun nuts let the pretense drop a little further.  And imagine that it makes them look good.

"After All, Only The Weak And Effete Want To Be Free Of Our Mighty Subsitute Manhoods!"

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

...

That is one awkward segue.

"And They're All Definitely Real, And There's Nothing Like Them On The Republican Side, So We Win, Forever, And Ever!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Madoc, son of Uther.

And so goes another exciting game of "Youse The Real Racists!"  Once again, remember, the white guy wins it--IN HIS OWN MIND!

Which as far as he is concerned, is the only place that counts.

"And I'm Only Saying This To Point Out How Bad He Was! That's All!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because by the first part of our contract we cancel our eyes.

And remember, all his efforts on the Civil Rights Act don't count.  And prove that Democrats are the Real Racists!

"That's Why They Are All The REAL Racists!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because chasing thunder.

Go on, Muir. Next mention the bit about "Party of Lincoln"...

"And Then I'll Cut Up The Footage, So That You Endorse Hitler!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because use the Force.

Interesting that this version of O'Keefe doesn't have the whole... unfortunate face thing.

Yeah. Appalling On So Many Levels.

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

...Among all the painful things in this strip, I will simply focus on the fact that Muir still thinks that Ukrainian is the same language as Russian.

"Democracy Saved By My Imaginary Sexy Jewish Sniper-babe!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Uesugi Kagekatsu.

...If Muir actually knew things about the Ukraine, the incredible irony of what he's had happen would likely make his head explode.

"The Worldwide Conspiracy Of People Who All Hate Each Other!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tom Baker.

I  miss the days when America knew the John Birchers were crazy.  I really do.

"Because, You See, Real Feminists Are Judged By Their Husbands..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because well, at least... uh oh.

Glad to know that the 90s never ended for some people.

Well, something.

"And This MUST BE TRUE!"

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

...

...

...

Well, any theoretical sympathy I might have felt for Wiley is now officially dead.

"I Am For The Rich And Powerful, Except When I'm Not!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because lonely feeling, deep inside.

I suspect Muir explains this as follows--he's against the evil liberal rich people, who can be recognized as evil by the fact that they're liberal. Or at least, not as conservative as they should be.

"Brutal Thugs Are The Only Kind Of Mayors Who Work!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because naughty ladies from the 80s who've been indiscreet.

Well, the Right's officially back to hating NYC again.  Probably best for all concerned...

"...He Also Wrote Something About Dinosaurs, Right?"

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

...How is that even a punchline?  How?  HOW?

"And That's Why I Don't Renew My Driver's License!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Osman III.

The sad part is Muir genuinely feels this represents a heroic stand against the establishment.  One half expect to see them bragging about ripping off pillow tags in a future strip.

"And This Will Clearly Be A Glorious Victory For The Cause!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Pedro de Moctezuma.

Amazing that suing becomes a weapon for good when a right-wing organization does it, eh?  For those wondering 'True the Vote' is an "anti-voter fraud" organization.  Which means it's how the Right hopes to keep those pesky minorities from voting now that their older methods are... well, illegal.

"Don't They Realize That They're THOSE PEOPLE, And Shouldn't Have Anything Nice?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because yo mama.

Ahh, yes, racism thinly disguised as concerns about decadent "aristocrats". 

"It's TYRANNICAL To Force People To Follow The Law!"

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

Everything's an assault on your liberty when you think being evil is a right....

"Why Aren't They Destroying The Economy? WHY?"

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

Circular firing squads--ENGAGE!

"See, History Will Allow Us To Rewrite It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's insanity!

Ahh, the confidence of the Right Wing Bubble that soon everyone will accept their version of things.

And Muir still doesn't know much about Marie Antoinette, does he?

"Those Damn Froggies Oppressed Us For Centuries, Until We Beat Them In 1812!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because tortoise shell.

 I could focus on the combination of ignorance, xenophobia, and racism disguising itself as disgust at the nouveaux-rich, but really, for me the big thing is the fact that he reused the same lousy pictures from yesterday.

"Thank Goodness For My Reasonable Imaginary Minorities!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because live at Fillmore.

I wonder if Muir's critique of this sort of thing will ever rise above 'Have you stopped beating your wife?'

"The Shocking Decadence Of These Inferior Scum!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I look really young, but I'm just back-dated.

Ahh,  yes.  Muir's tired old "Democrats as the French Ancien Regime" routine, which as usual suffers from him not knowing what the hell he's talking about...

"And That's How My Imaginary Character Boldly Faced The Foe!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because thought it was gold but it was bronze.

Given that Zed regularly does fairly illegal things why go to all this trouble, when a simple felony conviction would be enough?

"GASP! The Sinister Plot Is Truly Sinister!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I've been sleeping for forty days.

Suspiciously round number aside, it's not like the government may want to keep a bunch of highly trained, mentally unstable PSTD cases from pulling Whitmans--no, no, it's clearly an evil plot to destroy libertay! 

"This Is Clearly Dangerous And Ridiculous!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the plum in the golden vase.

"We have a vague report that we are taking the most threatening spin on!  It is irresponsible not too pitch a fit!"

"I've Read About It, So It Must Be True!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she has kilted her coat of white satin.

And of course, the utterly ridiculous thing here is going to segue into the crazy conspiracy theory involving the plan to destroy the righteous military (YAY!) and empower the evil police groups (BOO!). 

It's scary what scares these people.

"Not Like My Husband, With Magic Guns."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because and king hereafter.

...

And the Muirverse continues to slide ever farther away from reality.

"We Should Start A Civil War Against The Heretics!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you want to cool your jets, big man.

Day 1: Racist, homophobic rant with threats of secession.
Day 2: Whining about people calling you an extremist, racist homophobe.
Day 3: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

"McCarthy. The Republican Senator."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm a rapper with a baby.

Yes.  That's why this is happening to D'souza. Just like Nixon was persecuted for being awesome.  Right.

"The Sinister Plot Against Our Pure Essence Will Be Defeated!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it was in the merry month of June, when all the green buds were fallin'.

...

...

It takes a lot to surpass George Lucas in violating Star Wars.  And yet, Muir managed it.

"That'll Show The Traitors!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because there be no butter in Hell!

It must be so comforting to think you can fight a rebellion sitting on your fat ass.  Just as its comforting to imagine that all your petty prejudices and vicious bigotry is evidence of your republican virtue and inherent rightness.

"He Was Too A Dark Lord Of Sith!"

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

Remember--the people who looked into building orbiting death-weapons?  Jedi. 

The people who want the poor to have health care?  Sith.

...

...

DO NOT DOUBT US!  DO NOT TELL US WE HAVE FALLEN SO FAR INTO THE DARK SIDE WE NO LONGER RECOGNIZE THE LIGHT! 

We find such lack of faith... disturbing.

"Dey Da Evil EMPIRE!"

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

Ahh, yes.  How dare they threaten the just Rebellion and its right to be sexist, classist, imperialist and racist to its hearts content?  It's just like the '60s all over again.  Both '60s.

"He's Evil! And... And Also Stupid!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a mammoth cheese.

Muir's going to keep on this tear for a while, isn't he?

"Why Do The Nonbelievers Persist In Not Seeing His Hideous Failure?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Victor Amadeus.

In all the rejecting of reality and substituting of his own, one always finds Muir's Obama to be stunningly clumsy creation, simultaneously a grotesque fool and a Machiavellian tyrant who will lead the USA into an era of Islamcommufascist darkness.  One wonders at times if Muir doesn't so much believe in this Obama as want to very much.

"It's Just Like When Those Damn Northerners Tried To Ban Slavery On Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because oblong box.

Ahh, yes.  The comfortable sort of rebellion that doesn't actually entail any risk, but allows you to remind yourself what a tough he-man you are, while stocking up on gold and bottled water.

"Guns And Motorcycles Are Awesome!"

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

Doubtless, the inhabitants of Connecticut are planning their daring revolution even as we speak...

"The Things He Puts Into That Thing's Exhaust-pipe!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it was just like oregano.

Let's just savor the unintentional humor, shall we?

"Why Do You Mock Little Sam?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Sebastian of Portugal!

America's gun culture.  So weird, it's actually reached the point where it has no idea how weird it is.

"The Only People Who Are Right Are My Fellow Shotgun Shack Dwellers!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Secret History.

The standard for purity keeps going up, doesn't it?

"My Triumph Against The Imaginary Black Helicopters Is So Cool!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we want to be loved.

...Yeah.  Great to see this plotline dragging on...

"Yeah, MLK Would TOTALLY Of Joined The Tea Party!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Krazy Kat and Ignatz!

On the latest installment of "I am Totally Not Racist" Theatre...

"We're A BIG Deal, Obviously!"

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

Ahh, there's the humility that makes them such lovable figures...

"As This Supports My Prejudices, It MUST Be Right!"

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

Nothing like more proof that Muir doesn't fact-check.

And is a repugnant misogynist to boot.

"Like Those Evil Leftist Nazis!"

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

Ahh, crazy alternate history.  Nothing like right-wingers inventing more reason to be self-righteous.

"Soon, They Will Never Have To Deal With The Impure!"

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

You know, even though they're hideous devilspawn, and fictional characters to boot, I pity those children, who will grow up in a rotting little sphere of reaction being told that society is collapsing around them. 

"The War Of All Against All Is COOL!"

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

Yes, Muir, I've no doubt the government is quivering in its boots about you.  And your imaginary friends.

"The Fact That We Can't Prove Anything Is Besides The Point!"

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

Muir is going to be crowing Obama's inevitable downfall until the very day he leaves office, isn't he?
