"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...
