"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.
