"Yes, Everything Is Going EXACTLY To Plan!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because happiness runs in a circular motion.

...

It's going to be hell on Muir when Trump caves on the budget.

"This Is Exactly What Bakers Must Deal With From Degenerate Scum!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because 'who robbed the miners?' cry the grim bells of Blaina.

So, Sam assaults her customer after not fulfilling her order, all in the name of Muir's charity-free "Christianity".

Right-wingers don't actually like capitalism, they like "anti-communism", and they don't like "rule of law", they like a "strong-arm state" pointed at everyone else.

"Those Fools! Do They Not Know The Leader's Great Plan Will Crush Their Attack On Calais!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because move on up.

...

Yes, Muir, the savviest Democratic Party Leader in the House is an idiot, and Trump WON the last shutdown, and will win this one, for your foes are stupid, and weak, and traitors.

Let's see if I can find that clip...

"Remain Calm! All Is Well!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because OOOOOOklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain.

Is Muir on some level, even as he rants about the Deep State and evil conspiracies, admitting that Trump is... kinda dumb?

That's the problem of course. Figuring out what Muir feels about Trump is difficult, because he is so invested in the Trump Presidency that these moments of ambiguous admission tend to be followed by loud declarations of loyalty.  It's hard to be sure how deep the uncertainty is under it all.

"Rule Of Law Is A Socialist Plot! All Hail The Fuehrer Principle!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'd rather be with you.

Yeah, clearly that's why the Trump Foundation dissolved itself.  Evil Stalinist Attorney Generals.  For the Leader is always innocent, any evidence is clearly fake, and righteousness is ever on his side.

"How Dare People Object To His Racist BS!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because don't worry--if there's hell below, we're all going to go.

The comment may be objectionable.  Koflage's injuries may be severe.  But that doesn't stop him from being a racist con-man.  Because disabling war wounds don't make people saints.  It just makes them people with disabling war wounds.

It's A Cthulhu Christmas!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone.

...

By the ever-loving God.

"This Would Be Heart-Warming, If Our Faces Weren't Melting."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because behind the boathouse, I'll show you my dark secret.

The continued belief that Sam isn't the more awful of the two siblings remains wince-inducing.

Still, he's not talking about the shutdown.  Yet.

Jack Daniels Takes Another Writing Credit.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because they'll never get old and gray.

...

...

...

I mean, the bit where Muir has missed the point of Star Trek VI is the most coherent part of this strip.

"Nothing But Good News From The Eastern Front These Days!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tony Tribe.

...

This is what happens when Muir writes about current events without understanding them as they happen.

"I Totally Know Science Stuff!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because no matter how they tossed the dice it had to be.

This entire strip is one big Dunning-Kruger display.

"Hey, If It Reaffirms My Misogyny And Racism, It Has To Be Right!"

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

I'm half expecting Captain Mitty to start declaring "Hitler!  Mussolini! Those were the men!"

And now I want to watch Beat the Devil again.  Actually, people, I recommend you all do that.  Great film.

Much better than this shit.

"We're Natural Culture-Builders, Skye! Not Like Those Filthy Untermenschen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Robin Redbreast.

Using a quote by a socialist to promote Nazism.

...

Well, it's an interesting sort of fail...

"The Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because brass section.

I have no doubt Muir IMAGINES he's saying something profound here.  

He isn't.  Oh, he isn't.

"Everything That Could Possibly Effect Me Is Tyranny!"

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

Honestly as, again, a racist militia with ties to a wealthy foreigner, you'd think Captain Mitty and company would have other things to worry about.

Especially as this law passed in Florida, not Tex--oh, that's right. Muir lives in Florida.

"We're Totally Like The Founding Fathers!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because egg nog.

So, yet another tortured historical analogy that involves Muir and his fellows claiming to be the heirs to the patriots, and ignoring the various people they actually resemble.  Like the Confederates. Or America First.

You know--traitorous scum.

"Youse Guys Is Totally Da Nazis!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I got a picture of you.

The Nazis were of course, so fond of gun control that Allied Command had to institute a gun buyback during the Occupation, and found themselves regularly amazed at what the Third Reich had let its citizens keep as personal arms.

"They Are Coming For Our Guns, The Illegals Are Coming, And The News Is All Liars!" Take Infinity

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm just mad about Saffron.

I suspect this present mania for double-sized weekly strips will pass soon as it has in the past--Muir is wearing out his limited repertoire putting them out.

"Ha Ha! Death Copters Are Funny!"

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

At this point, Muir's antifa goons are resembling the mooks in a bad '90s sidescroller arcade game in their stupid determination to attack.

Only less effective.

"Yes, Satan Has Already Sent Us Souls Of The Slain To Sustain Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because as we look out on Saint Dominic's Preview.

I'm trying to figure out which of these three things are worse--Damon's insufferable shitheelery, the image of Jan's continued subjection to the hivemind, or the dead faces of the twins.

It's a tight contest.

"Ha HA! Ted Kennedy KILLED SOMEONE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Willy Wonka can.

My conviction that Ted felt Mary Jo Kopechne's death more deeply than the average right-winger who brings it up only grows with time.

And lousy tasteless jokes about it.

Lactation Jokes AND Insulting Beto O'Rourke. Truly We Are Blessed.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we're running in the shadows of the night.

...

Muir keeps finding new ways to combine all the ways he's horrible together.

"You Are All Against The Sheer Awesomeness Of Trump!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Billy Wilder.

So a lame Clinton joke that's twenty years too late, and reminder that Muir definitely doesn't read the New York Times.

Dull Sunday.  My conviction that Muir is tired only grows.

Meanwhile, In The Democratic Conspiracy's Secret HQ On MARS!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the minute you let her under your skin, then you begin to make it BETTER.

...

The 'No More Trotskyites' label looks ever more accurate.

"It's All YOUR Fault! And Also The Nefarious Democrats!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Esther Williams.

And so Muir blames everyone but Trump for the Republicans' epic defeat in the House, WHILE insisting that it is of course all the result of cheating.  Because Trump can't be unpopular.  He can't.  Muir likes him, and he knows he's the sanest man he knows.

"He Is So Bwave And Wugged!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because uranium company.

And so Muir lifts his battered standard to the sky once again after giving himself a pep talk that he pretended was directed at his latest mancrush.  True, it was a stunning demonstration of Muir's ongoing moral and intellectual degeneration from what was not exactly a great starting point to begin with.  And true, it was clear throughout that Muir was not quite buying it the way he had been, and that pure and perfect faith he had in Trump is gone.  But that doesn't matter for Muir, who by this time is old hat at getting by on sham faith and telling himself it's the real deal.  True, conning yourself makes you more likely to be conned by others, but he's used to that.  Just as he's used to calling vices virtues and virtues vices.  Because that's the thing about this philosophy--it's a black hole and you just get worse, and worse and worse.

"I Mean, They Keep Saying That Vigilante Justice Against Brown People Is ILLEGAL!"

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

Remember, it's completely unfair that Muir can't go around doing what NEEDS to be done, and that proves he's oppressed, and a victim of the sinister ELITE.

So, basically, Muir's ongoing shift to out and out fascism continues unabated.

"That's What You Have To Do Away With To Trample The Dems Under Your Big Boots, Sir!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because stuck in a roundabout.

...

Muir really doesn't understand what words mean.

"No Fatherland Without You, Donald!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm frightened for your children, that the life that our living is in vain, and the sunshine we've been waiting for will turn to rain.

And Muir's great display of phony patriotism reaches the consummation we've been waiting for--in calls for the Donald to start a constitutional crisis and an actual move towards dictatorship.

Murica ain't America.  It just thinks it is.

"And Then We'd Go For An Awesome Round Of Golf Together!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a Charles Band Production.

...

It's like a four year old wishing he could hang out with Batman...

"Them Migrants Takin' Our Precious Oxygen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Jeanie needs a shooter.

...

It really is astonishing how quickly the compound went back to being "the besieged last outpost of the West" when you think about it.  A few months after Trump's win, and they were already quaking in fear over the dusky hordes once again.

"The Point Is Democrats Are Wicked And Inferior!"

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

...

...

Damn, that one feels like Muir barely knows how to deal with the reality of the 116th National Congress.  I mean, there was barely a punchline even by his standards.

"We're Devolving Into Abstract Shapes Again!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because John Holt & the Paragons.

...

...

You know the gradual sidelining of Damon and Jan into supporting characters is a fascinating example of how the strip has been getting crazier as it goes along.  And also lets me avoid talking about the horror of Jan's shifting face.

"Soon, I Shall Have Yet Another Hellspawn To Serve The Brood!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because midget boxing.

Boy, isn't this a wacky sitcom pregnancy?

Oh, well, at least he's not defending tear-gassing children.

Yet.

"I Will Fry Their Brains With My Psychic Powers!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Social Credit Party.

So many Muir fetishes in one strip--pregnancy, guns, "owning libs"--joined by yet another terrifying picture of one of the twins.  Who like all proper demonspawn have suddenly aged ten years all at once.

"This Is Totally What Women Talk About!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers.

It's hard figuring out which gender Muir understands less--women or men.

"Youse The Nazis, And Also, All Bad Tings Youse Fault, Forever, And Always!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because A-Ha really is underappreciated as a pop band in the US.

Yes, the Nazis were famed for their stance on racial tolerance.  Tons of black, and Jewish Nazis.

It's clear at this point that Muir doesn't actually care what the Nazis were actually like.  Especially as that acknowledging that would force him to realize that he's the authoritarian racist.

"Liberals Think Their Laws Mean Something To A Freeman On The Land!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because my conscience will follow you forever if you meet me everywhere.

This of course is not how "castle doctrine" actually works.

Though given the deputy appears to made of marshmallow, who knows how things work in the Muirverse?

"Also, I Tortured The Delivery Man Into Madness With My Psychic Powers."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sweet potato casserole.

...

That is the closest one of the Hellspawn have ever looked to human.

And it's still not close.

Drum Roll.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because river rat.

I half expect Muir to tell us to try the veal.

"Let's Just Stand Here In The Same Totally Natural Position For Two Panels."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because twenty years later.

...

And he's running with this, because why not?  Why does anybody do anything in Muir's pathetic excuse for a fictional universe?  They just do.

Cooking Jokes! So CUTTING EDGE!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because are you reelin' in the years?


...

...

It says something that this half-assed, two-panel, stock joke strip with bad art is the most intelligible thing Muir has produced in weeks.

"This Is AWESOME, Understand?"

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

...

...

And the storyline continues to assure us it is cool, like a chaperone at a high school dance.

"I Mean, We Have Vigilante Justice, Right?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because urban sombrero.

So,  yeah, it went down exactly the way we all knew it would. 

I think even Muir recognizes, on some level, that his fantasies of violence are getting dull.

"Just Imagine Them Bleeding Out! It's So AWESOME!"

It's like the Day's Day of Days!  Because run away with me now.

The display of petty sadism imagining that it is cool courage is about as pathetic as the creepy sexism.

"I'm About To Murderate A Bunch Of People! Cool!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you're my satellite.

At this point, this entire is a particularly inept pornography of violence, and like much inept pornography, it goes on too long in trying to draw out interest, and thus makes the whole thing dull.

You Know, If She Hadn't Come Out To Gloat, She'd Be Fine Right Now.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Boney M's Rasputin.

On closer examination it's a padlock.  Though things remain pathetic and ridiculous.

"Crap, I've Written Myself Into A Corner!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wait, what?

Right.  So... suddenly, one of them has a grenade. 

That he launches at Sam has she is standing there gloating, Bond villain style, at the people she's got in her death trap.

Yup, can't see a story problem there.

"Truly, Who In Human History Has Been Persecuted As We Have?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because though I wear a suit and tie.

...

Ignoring all that cowardly bullshit for now, I'm going to point out that Muir appears to have been recycling the same artwork for the last few days.

Technically, They're All Animals, Just Like You. So, You're Both Right.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because whoo-hooooo.

...

Having them get trampled by a bull.  Nothing inhumane there, nope.

But hey, all Sam is doing right now is gloating like a freaking Bond villain, so it's all good.

"Everyone Else Is A Communazi!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Lil' Sebastian.

Yes, the sinister Democratic black politicians have so much in common with Hitler.

"We Will Use Our Psychic Powers To Make Them Eat Their Own Faces."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because random haiku.

As we stare in horror at the hellspawn, let us await tomorrows orgy of violence to let Muir wash away the disappointment of Tuesday.

Muir Creates Some Leftists Who Can Be Handily Defeated.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you just can't help yourself.

Well, this is clearly relevant to what's going on today.  I mean, if people can't run a racist militia on their compound in peace, what is happening to America?

AHHHHH! Grotesque Lizard Peo--Oh, Wait, It's Just The Trumps.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because East End Boys and West End Girls.

As we stare at these grotesque renderings of Donald and Ivanka, let's all remember that Trump is pretty much on the opposite side of Grant.  And Lincoln.

And human decency.

"My Meaning Here Is Obvious, Of Course."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because tilt-a-whirl.

And now Muir filches--that is literally traced over the scene--from the works of Italian director Sergio Leone.

"You're The Puppet."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sex and violins.

And Muir once again dips into the well of the movie by two transwomen.  Let's just savor the irony and see what happens tomorrow.

It's Wacky Paranoia!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because time cast on spell you that you won't forget me.

...

Why does Jan stay friend with these people again?

Oh, right, hivemind.

"The Jew Is A Nazi, And The Republican Speaker Is A Commie!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because dogs see things in the cobbly houses.

...

The worst part is I'm pretty sure almost every drawing in that is from another strip.

"We Are Simultaneously Constantly Betrayed, And Also Invariably Triumphant!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because echo effect.

I now await a declaration of how it's all the fault of those damn Trotskyite RINOs come Wednesday.

"This HAS To Be Good For Us! It Just Has To!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Vincent Price.


Muir tries to set up a straw position for his opponents to hold, and it still leaves him looking brutal, stupid and inhumane.

It's Like 'Small Wonder' In Comic Strip Form.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Conway Twitty.

You know, the basic gag here isn't that bad--it's just you have to get through the boring layout, the awkward delivery, and the fact that the premise is another sign of how cuckoo bananas DbD has become.

"But That Does Not Compute! *Laugh Track*"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because frog in the log.

...

As we continue through this awful storyline, let's take comfort in the fact that Sam treats all robots equally awfully, despite their clear sentience. 

Yep, she is predictable in her unpleasantness.

"Look, This Makes Sense Somehow, Okay?"

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

Looking at that, I'm assuming somebody was in a bit of a rush.

"Liking Good Beer Is Unmanly! Real Men Drink Watery Piss And Declare They LOVE It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'll be gone in a day.

Once again, Damon demonstrates there isn't a subject that he doesn't have an idiotic, unconsidered opinion.

"HA-HA-HA! Taco Bell! Brilliant!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a scent and a sound.

...

Fun fact--Allison Hayes, star of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, had her health ruined by lead poisoning caught from calcium supplements that were, she discovered afterwards, produced from horse bones.  She became a strident campaigner for further regulation of such supplements in her remaining years.

"I Mean, What Other Right Wing Terrorists Have There Been?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I was always doing something close to nothing, different than the day before.

...

Good to see that Muir can always achieve new levels of awful by retreating into the bubble, and screaming that everything is fine, and everything the Democrats do fails, always and forever.

"How Dare They Not Base Everything Off My Racist Paranoid Drivel!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the kind you buy at a second hand store.

...

You know, in between the grotesque Anderson Cooper caricature, the laziness of the cartoon, the awful stupid questions that Muir seems to think are hard-hitting,and the mystery of why Beto O'Rourke is the person to ask them to, I think we've hit dumbest cartoon of the week.

"Bigotry And Ignorance! The Greatest Virtues You Can Have!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because cloth dolls.

Ahh, yes, because refugees are totally like an invading army.  Only, not really.

"Also, We Kill Some Of Them."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because heaven is the space between your eyes.

You know, "President consults with head of compound-dwelling militia with foreign ties" would be a completely valid read on this.

"He Made A National Disgrace Of Himself! Therefore, I Now Like Him!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the sun always shines on tv.

...

Well.

There goes my lunch today...

"Real Men Vote Republican! And Are Raging Misogynistic Assholes!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because all seven and we'll watch them fall.

I'd say Zed's toxic masculinity was showing, but at this point, he's pretty much a pure block of the stuff, isn't he?

Jack Daniels Takes Another Co-Writing Credit.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because rye whiskey.

...

Okay, leaving aside all the... thatness of that strip, let's point out what should be clear--Ming the Merciless is the bad guy.  So it's hard not to feel, on some level that Muir's drawing Trump as him is a "Are We the Baddies?" moment on some level for Muir, even as the top of his mind is crowing about owning the libs.

...

Look, do you really want me to unpack all the wrongness of that thing?  I won't do it.  There's just so much of it, and it's so damn obvious as to make the whole exercise tedious.

"Othering People Is Awesome!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Jimmy Jones.

The hivemind talking about memes about hiveminds.  This is how you get SKYNET people.

"Yes, We Are Gloriously Assured Of Victory!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I really think so.

...

It's always a bad sign when Muir ignores news to focus on a ridiculous side story to keep his spirits up.

"Shifting The Goalposts And Being A Racist Ass Are Signs That You're Winning!"

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

It's always pleasant when Muir reminds him that he has no more awareness than his hero.

And by "pleasant" I mean "like getting teeth drilled".

"You Are Awful, We Are Great, And Everything Is Fine, FINE, FINE, ONCE AGAIN!"

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

Fictional Trump going on about the imagined sexual foibles of others. Irony isn't just dead, it rose from the grave and was killed again.

"Yes, You Are Awful, We Are Great, And Everything Is Fine, Fine, FINE!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you don't seem to understand.

Boy, haven't seen a strip like this before.

(I'm joking of course.  I've seen exactly a strip like this before.)

"Yeah, Vehicular Homicide Would Be Awesome! Why Hasn't Anybody Tried It Before?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because this is what it sounds like when doves cry.

...

...

I'm not sure if it's like he doesn't want to admit what happened at Charlottesville, or if he relishes what happened and is giving a thumbs-up to all his fascist bros.

Because Muir will always remind you that he is cowardly scum if you give him enough time.

"Ummm... Right, The Point Is Feminism Sucks..."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll do my crying in the rain.

...

Once again, it's hard not to get the impression Muir's idea vanished up its own ass.

"Well, The Important Thing Is, My Face Is Melting!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sweeping up.

It's tough not to get the impression that Muir's fondness for Trump has moved from believing he's the miracle man who will solve things for ever and ever, to saying he believes that.  Not that Muir would ever acknowledge that, or even consciously realize it.

"Ha Ha! Scoring Points Against My Strawman Versions Of Democrats Counts As Winning!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because let me guide you to the Purple Rain.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again--the biggest problem with Muir's versions of the Democrats is that they aren't even good caricatures, both in art and behavior.

Scenes From A Hellish Marriage.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the temper of the time.

...

That poor, poor girl.

Oh, and also, Jan, but let's be clear, the hivemind destroyed her years ago.

"He Also Tried To Pick Up French Guiana, But The Frogs Wouldn't Sell."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I've got a picture of me and you.

I don't know what's worse, more of El Dorado Dad's idiotic economic activities, or Sam doing a soft-core prego-porn pose as she apparently levitates off the bed.

"Ha! Wimmen! Thinking They Can Be Scientists!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we carry in our hearts the true country, and that cannot be stolen.

Yeah, that is not what's happening at CERN.

To put it mildly.

"And That's What A Great Relationship We Have!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Kona Blend.

Yes, Captain Mitty always knows his wife will agree with him, as she is imaginary, and essentially him.


I really don't mind a person's having masturbatory fantasies--it's part of what makes us human, in the end--but there's a sickness here that runs deep, and it's worse because it thinks it's not only healthy but ideal.

Jerkules, The Legendary Wanking.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a gentleman never would.

Yes, the valiant fight to get a rapist on the Supreme Court has clearly defeated all these people for ever and ever.

And that is all that ever needs to be said about this.

"Take That Hillary! Take That YET Again!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because better run to the top of the mountain.

Ahh.  So Skye has apparently learned the only RIGHT way to be a woman is to be a misogynistic asshat.

The hivemind makes everyone worse.

"We Are Simply Innately Good, And That's All There Is To It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the time is come.

Ahh, Muir's old standby, "No, YOU are!"  What can be said to that argument?"

I mean, other than the fact that the cast is again literally a compound-dwelling racist militia at this point.

"Youse Is The Real Rapists, To Infinity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the heat is on.

...

Yes, three separate women coming forward and accusing Kavanaugh of similar behavior is clearly a conspiracy.  Just like the ever-growing number of women who've come forward and accused Trump of similar behavior.

Yup.

"Just Ignore What's Actually Happened. They Are The Real Threat!"

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

...

Remember, as Muir so often forgets, these people are essentially an armed militia that lives on a compound.

"Youse Is The Real Rapists!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because can you take me higher.

...

Well, that was the retcon nobody asked for.

Ick.

"Yes, Their Moral Degeneracy Is Obvious."

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

And now the hivemind melts down, thanks to the Liar's Paradox.

Also, it should be pointed out that Maxine Waters isn't a Senator.

It's Like 'Calvin And Hobbes', If 'Calvin And Hobbes' Sucked.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because in the springtime of the year.

...

Won't lie, as bad as that is, it's nice to see Muir moving back to mere mediocrity.

"Yeah, They Are Totally Like Nazis!"

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

Truly, white conservatives are the most persecuted people in history.  Because people are MEAN  to them!  It's just like the Jews in Nazi Germany.  If the Jews were in power, and also, putting people into concentration camps.

So, really, not like the Jews at all.  In fact, more like another group in Nazi Germany.

"You Know These Would Go Great With Funyuns And Velveeta!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because guide to trees.

...

The Sitcom From Hell has twisted in on itself to the point where even its jokes bear no relation to actual jokes.

Sitcom From Hell--Always On The Air!

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

Souffle jokes.

Really.

"Only Violent Misogynists Know How To Treat A Woman!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand, like a lizard on the window pane.

Skye's joining of the hivemind seems to have destroyed what sanity she had remaining, poor girl.

Well, THAT Just Happened.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Oxford Companion to Western Art.

...

...

About the only thing I'm getting from that is that Skye and Sam are awful.

"Men Are Truly The Most Persecuted Of People!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I can assure you of that.

We could talk about Muir's misogyny, but that's old hat, so let's talk about how Damon's face is apparently melting.

From The Files Of Police Scum.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because oh, wait.

...

Yeah, this is more Frank Drebbin than Philip Marlowe.

And honestly, it's an insult to Drebbin as a character.

"Let's See How Much Misogyny I Can Pack In Three Panels!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I say yeah.

...

...

I don't if Muir's developing a foot fetish, or something stranger and more awful.

"Sometimes I Think This Place Is A Form Of Torture That Breaks You By Not Making Sense."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder.

Muir's attempt to expand the cast has not gone well, has it?

"Well, We're All Just Awful People!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Hesitation Blues.

Hey, remember when Jan actually had a personality? 

Seems like so long ago, doesn't it?

"They're Already Awful Bigots!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because weather and climate.

And he clearly thinks we're supposed to find the demonspawn charming.

"Yes, The Traitors Are The Real Problem! Them And The Democrats, And Also Women!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Fisherman's Protective Union.

And of course, Muir has this stew of paranoia and misogyny served up by his female characters, and by 'characters' I mean sock puppets.

"It's Saturday's Strip, Again, Pretty Much!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Black Jack Pershing.

Yep, more "Muir goes full Nazi, thinks he isn't" cartoons.  Fun.

"This Is A True Thing That Is Actually A Thing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because stemless wine glass.

Yes, this is why the Republicans are down by record amounts in the Generic Ballot.

"The Sinister Master Of The Lugenpresse!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because here beside the rising tide.

Muir doesn't even realize he's moved on from ordinary American racism to repeating old Nazi talking points.

"Yep, This Is True, And All Claims To The Contrary Are Lies!"

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

...

...

A white supremacist murdered a woman, and he says this bullshit.

"This Totally Normal Process Proves Obama Is Bad!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because that's what it's all about.

You know, when Trump is being turned away from setting his presidential library up anywhere in the country, I'm certain Muir will be carefully ignoring the whole thing.

"There's A Pun In There, So It's FUNNY!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because turn down your phone volume.

...

...

Yeah, shutting down the spinoff seems to have resulted in its crazy getting re-injected into the main strip.

"Now For More Wimmen Humor!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because did I build a ship to wreck?

...

...

It says something that Muir can reach creepy new levels of misogyny with a traditional joke for the core of the strip.

Also, that Skye is apparently paralyzed.

"Oh, We're More Ruby Ridge Than Waco!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because stuck in a roundabout.

Well, I mean, you guys live on a frickin' compound when you get down to it.

"We Are Totally More Adult Than You All, Doodooheads!"

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

And again, there's the entire damn fact that you run a militia.

But yes, you think for yourselves, in that you repeat everything from the crazy set through a new filter of crazy.

"If I Mention Alinsky, I Can Pretend I Have An Argument!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you're fucked up on your own.

You know this is a pretty good illustration of just how much bullshit Muir's worldview is built on--he uses a caricature of a left-wing activist and a spurious comparison to Jerry Springer to discredit hearings on a Supreme Court justice even though it's clear Alinksy has nothing to do with the hearing, and the only reason he can dismiss Democratic argument is because he refuses to consider them to begin with. Muir doesn't just see the world through a series of funhouse mirrors--he makes sure only to look at distorted parodies of his opponents to begin with.

"Perhaps We Can Use Our Mental Powers To Make Them Stab Themselves To Death With Pitchforks!"

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

Remember, whenever a Democrat complains about anything, it's just a waste of time, and they should just shut up and go away.  Which is not a threat.  Or maybe it is. 

The important thing is, the demonspawn are unhappy.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! All Is Great!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because linger on your pale blue eyes.

A part of me wonders if the lack of any actual artwork in this involves Muir at some point lying on the floor in a fetal position.

I suspect not, but only because he's so far from reality at this point that if impeachment proceedings began, he'd insist things were going well.

"Ha Ha... Dems Are Bad!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Private Pike.

Charming as ever, Muir.

"Ha Ha Ha! This Is Somehow Good News For Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because he played a tune, and danced around the gallows tree.

...

Muir has achieved such maximum discombobulation that he isn't just recasting losses as wins in the strip, he's writing losses and somehow imagining they're wins.

"Heh, Remember When It Was It Was The Unperson Tillerson Talking To You In These Things?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Merrilee Rush.

 What the hell IS Bolton doing chatting with Trump on this?  It's really not part of his job.

Muir really has no idea how things WORK, does he?

"I Mean, Aside From The 19th Amendment, But That Doesn't Count For Reasons."

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

...

Listing everything that's wrong about this damn strip would essentially involve listing everything.

"I Have To Protect You All From The Brown Menace!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because everybody is dying to see the light.

Ahh, yes, who knows what would happen if the effing compound wasn't there to shoot the dusky hordes?

"Hey, I'm Sure We Can Work Out A Deal, Slugman To Slugman."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because giant lizard.

...Man, the amount of awful racism there is something else, though it's worth noting that Muir's Trump seems to have degenerated some.  Preparation for an upcoming disappointment, or just a quick trace job?  Only time will tell.

"And This Shows How Much He APPRECIATES His Wife!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because a strong ginger drink.

You know, this really is like the Terminator movies--the robots are taking over everything.

Let's Sit Back And Consider The Weirdness.

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

...

...

Right.  Again, this whole thing is happening because the damn strip has a T-1000 built by a child savant walking around.

"How Can I Make This More Creepy?"

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

...

...

I'd almost say it's a bold move to put so much sexual dysfunction on display, but I'm pretty sure Muir has no idea he's doing this.

"Now, Back To The Sitcom From Hell!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Theophilus Alvor.

I'm almost starting to miss the wall of text.  It was crazy with a direction.

"This Wall Of Text Will Keep The Truth Away!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because smiles, everyone, smiles.

Muir's desperation to keep away from the fact that his hero is in deep with the Russians hits a  new low.

"Ha! Wimmen! Mechanical Wimmen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because show me one man who's not a parasite, and I'll go out and say a prayer for him.

...

Man, Muir's misogyny is getting downright incoherent. 

"Ha Ha! Gender Issues Are Another Sign Of How Untermenschen Are Scum!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because violin solo.

You know, this robot is taking the fate its predecessor--cruelly and casually destroyed by these people despite being a sentient being--rather blasely.  You think the idea that this could happen to "her" might cross her processor. 

"And I Can Focus On This Light Amusing Plot Because Everything Is Quiet And Uneventful!"

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

Still no word from the world outside.

Let's see how long he can keep the streak going.

"More Of The Nudity I Can't Really Draw Well!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because looking for heaven, for the devil in me.

I wonder when Muir's going to mention things happening on Earth again?

...

It might be awhile.

"I Enjoy This SOOO Much, Let's See How Long I Can Drag It On!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's a bittersweet symphony, this life.

...

It's like thumbscrews in cartoon form.

These Continue To Be The Jokes.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because if it's a good picture, it's a Miracle!

...

This plotline isn't circling the drain, it's failed to flush down the pipes...

These Are The Jokes, People.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because company with honesty is virtues vice to flee.

...

Yeah, this is certainly... happening.  Oh, is it happening.

Feel The Incomprehensible DRAMA!

It's the Day's Day of Days!   Because I--I will be king and you--you will be queen.

Times like this, you realize how incoherent this strip has gotten on so many levels.

"Those Filthy Untermenschen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tsar Simeon.

Man, this doesn't remind of the last few times Muir confidently declared the Dems finished and ignored all signs to the contrary...

"Defending The Freedom Of The Press Is UNAMERICAN!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you might think it's foolish, this chancy rendezvous. 

And by "democratically elected" you mean "the winner of the electoral college despite losing the popular vote by a significant margin". 

And of course once again, the poor, poor Right is completely at the mercy of the evil Left, despite being in charge of all three branches of government.

"Because You Know What The Kids Like MORE Than T2 References? ORIGINAL 'Battlestar Galactica' References!"

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

Thrill at unfunny jokes, dull perspectives, and Naomi's face looking like an inky mask drawn on a fleshy sphere.  Because it is.

On The Next Episode Of The Sitcom From Hell.

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

So... Lady Gaga, huh?

*cue laugh track*

It Keeps Going, And Going, And Going...

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

...

Remember when the cast sort of kind of approximated people, roughly?  Because I've reached the point of wondering if that time was an hallucination.

"This Joke Is Going On WITHOUT ANY BRAKES!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'a Cthulhu ftaghn.

And we hit every sort of awful Muir possesses at once.

Joy.

"Yep! T2 Fan For LIFE!"

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

...

...

Let's see what new lows await.

"The Kids Love The References To A Nearly-Thirty Years Old Movie!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Beware the Blob.

...

...

It's tough to figure out a level where this isn't batshit.

"Have Our Spines Melted?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Hyperion Cantos.

...

It's kind of hard to care about androids when the whole cast is a nightmarish approximation of humanity.

"Just Another Demonstration Of How We're Totally Normal Americans!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pet health.

As always, when Muir forces us to dwell on the bizarre personal lives of his cast, it's crazy, charmless, and leaves one wondering what the point is...

"Now, I'm Going To Make A Car Crash Itself!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because words are very unnecessary.

Skye continues to join the hivemind, under the watchful eyes of the children of Satan.

"Always The Right Time To Be A Creep!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Sugar and Sack.

Muir's thoughts on women just ooze off the strip.

And I absolutely mean that.

"Guns! Women! Pure Randomness! NURSE, MORE SERUM!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Musashi Miyamato.

...

And once again, the strip breaks down into pure chaos.

"And Don't Go Forcing Farmers To Pitchfork Themselves To Death With Your Minds!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because yes, multi-level-marketing is a pyramid scheme.

Which is worse, the demonspawn or the melting parents?  Decisions, decisions.

"This Is Actually Good News When Interpreted By My Decoder Ring!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because German coffee.

How can you people judge the looks on anyone's faces when your own have become grotesque mockeries of humanity?

"Also, We Live In A Universe Where Natural Law Is Breaking Down."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad.

...

And the faces are still melting.  At this point, staring at art that is bad even by Muir's standards, I am left wondering if this present bizarre storyline will peter out or reach some nonsensical conclusion. 

It's about fifty-fifty, I bet.

"Remember, Our Opponents Are Inferior And Stupid.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the towers of Trebizond.

Their faces appear to be melting in the last panel.

"Yep, Take That Imaginary Leftists!"

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

Clearly Muir's going to be enjoying this joke for a while.  Because nothing says how cool the compound is by showing what utter morons its foes are.

"Ha! My Imaginary Leftists Are So Stupid!"

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

Meanwhile, in the real world, his hero came up with a bill named FART.

"See? I Have Imaginary Minorities In My Perfect Militia, So... Not A Nazi!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Mamma Mia, here I go again.

Amazing how they're skating around the "Look, they effing shoot Mexicans," in this discussion of why the compound dwellers are Nazis...

"Right, We Could Talk About Things That Are Happening, But Let's Talk About Imaginary Murder Machines Instead!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!    Because pet health.

It's kind of funny, how quickly Muir has retreated back to the same fantasy world he was writing about before Trump won. 

In the sad, twisted sort of funny manner.

"That And We Run A Fascist Militia From Our Compound. Which Is Our God-Given Right As MURICANS!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because loud phone conversations.

The demonspawn continue to look like creatures from nightmares.

"...T-Take That, Hillary! Take... Take It Y-YET Again!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I say I believe.

It's hard not to feel that yelling at Hillary supporters--nearly two years after the election now--has become a talisman that Muir clutches very tightly in his hands these days.

"Always Time For A Condom Joke!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flowers deployed.

...

And the saddest thing is this is the best strip in months.  I mean, it's still terrible, but one can at least understand the basic joke without too much trouble.  Or alcohol.

"Hello, Fellow Human Woman!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we have heard the chimes at midnight.

...

...

It's like he's no longer bothering to pretend his cast are in some manner real people.

"It's All Lies! Lies! And Bill's A Pedo!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because standing here alone.

...

At this rate the list of people Muir likes is going to be countable on one hand by the end of this administration.

"Our Foes Are Like Animals, The Filthy Schweinhund!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we come from France.

Remember, when the Right began protesting Obama for the crimes of Presidenting while black, it was a righteous movement against oppression.  But protesting Trump's behavior is just being a bunch of whiny babies, you doodooheads.

"How Dare They Be Offended At The Leader Being Offensive!"

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

...

Yep.  He's gonna keep wishing this one away.

"Why Can They Not See That The Leader Only Has The State's Best Interest At Heart?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because whole of the moon.

...

...

Tankies have defended the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with more integrity.

"Just... A Few... Feet Further..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wish we could turn back time. 

"So we assuredly didn't kill people.  Or maybe we did!

"....

"Just send the money!"

"I'm Sure If You All Get A Little More Time To Give Me Money..."

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

...

...

I am now waiting to see how much more pathetic this can get...

"Watch Me Kill The Dusky Foreigners!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Maria, you gotta see her!

...

And now we move from insane to merely sociopathic....

A Fever Dream In Bad Comic Form.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because nothing going to keep me down.

Can I state that these new naked drawings look unappealing even by Muir's already low standards?

"All Right, Non-Pledging Readers! You Win! This Time!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because things get worse.

And Muir caves and gives us this insanity.  Let's see what comes next week!

Oh, Give Me Some Time To Slow The Plot Down.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she combs her hair.

At this rate, we might see some plot movement by next week. 

Maybe.

"A Little More Money, And I'll Hurt People For You!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ting ting ta-ting.

...

And now we are left wondering how it's going to get worse in the future...

"Pay Me And I Move The Story Forward!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pushing the night into the daytime.

I won't lie--there's a part of me that's hoping that this drags on for as long as possible. 

Another part is saying "A 'Where's the beef?' joke in 2018.  Way to keep it relevant, Muir."

"Pay Me, And I Brutalize Some Immigrants, Who Are Subhuman Criminals, Of Course!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because stale donut.

The promotions he's using seem to get worse every year.

The Gallery Of Regrettable Faces.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you saw the whole of the moon.

So, as we contemplate this 'awful on every level' storyline, let's see how long it takes to wrap up the begging pledge drive this year.  It really seems to be dragging.

This Is Going In All Sorts Of Regrettable Directions.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the boys are back.

Those grotesque attempts at faces are what really makes this one painful...

Creepy Racism And Creepy Bad Softcore.

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

I keep saying this, but damn, it's gonna be a long pledge drive this year.

Trolling For Dollars.

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

Well, this is going to drag on.

"Democrats All Suck. Also, Nudity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Red Sphinx.

I guess he had to throw some politics in there somewhere. 

The Nude Streak Continues.

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

I'd say "this is getting painful", but it has BEEN painful for some time, really. 

"So, Mr. Franklin, Why Do You Look Like A Giant Sentient Condom In A Bad Wig?"

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

The fundraiser continues in its march towards the nightmarish, I see.

Reward Or Punishment? You Decide.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because like tears in the rain.

...

Yup.  That strip happened.

Okay, It's More A Steadily Trickling Garden Hose, But The Idea Is Pretty Clear Here!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because haven't you noticed I'm a star?

So apparently Sam is now made out of jello, and she lives in a hellish world of blotches.

Typical DbD, in other words.

"Yes, We Come Here For Creepy Nudity, And Crazy Conspiracy Theories, And Other Things That Bring Us Comfort!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because giant wheels.

These desperate pleadings for funds get creepier every year, even as they seem to get less and less effective.

"Remember, Once Again, FBI Bad!"

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

And remember once again, people, these organizations are now our dire enemies, and always were.

"How Dare The Lugenpresse And Their Jewish Overlord Not Respect Her Apologism!"

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

If there is an afterlife, a good portion of Muir's hell is going to be the simple realization that he was the bad guy.

Another portion will be the realization that he was tremendously untalented.

"Take That, Hillary! Take That YET AGAIN!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because accidentally like a martyr. 

Not much more in the begging bowl, mmm?

"As Opposed To The Republicans, Who Are... Ummm..."

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

I fully await Muir to contradict this tomorrow to slander Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, because realizing that he's saying the opposite of what he said previously is not Muir's strong point.

"You Are The Racists Not Us! Always And For Always!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you were always on my mind.

And let's ignore the policies that have brought this on, let's ignore how desegregation happened, let's ignore everything else, just to get that awful attempt at wit in there.

In meantime, you know the begging fundraising's going poorly--he's left off the percentages again.

"Come On! More Money! Now!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because police on my back.

So, as Muir gives a take on Sara Huckabee Sanders problems eating out that isn't a simplification at all, obviously, let's notice that he's not only behind in his begging fundraising, he's stalled in momentum, having been stuck at 50% for two days, and only reaching 51% today.

"And It Is Such A Mystery Why They Are So Offended!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Brandy Alexander.

 Of course, Muir doesn't mention all the insults that go in the opposite direction, or, you know, the Nazi boosting.  Or the atrocities.  Nope, it's just a lot of rudeness for no reason that he can understand.

And he is apparently still at 50%.  Gonna be a long panhandling session fund raiser.

"And If They're Civil, We Call Them Weak And Effeminate! It's Win-Win!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Creme de Menthe.

 As Muir continues to express his long-standing belief that if you're upsetting people, it must be a good thing, he also celebrates finally reaching 50%, something that's taken longer this year.

Let's see if he can ever make a connection.

"They Are All Childish Sissies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Irish Cream.

As Muir whines about his somehow inept, yet omnipotent opponents again, let's note that he still hasn't quite hit 50% yet.

He probably will tomorrow, but still, small victories.

"The FBI Is Now Evil!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because

Remember, government snipers who aren't Captain Mitty are evil.  And we've always been at war with Eurasia.

"All Is Well, Citizens! All Is Well!"

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

As Muir has nothing new to say in his slander of the IG--a conspiracy that apparently involves the FBI working against Trump, but not actually doing anything to really hurt him WHILE scuttling the chances of the person they were supposedly working for--I will move on to note that he has not only NOT reached 50% yet, he's seen only a 1% increase.

Gonna be a long panhandling session pledge drive this year.

"I Insist I Know What Is Going On!"

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

Muir's desperation, on all sorts of things, bleeds off the comic. 

"Look, The Important Thing Is I Really Need More Money!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because green Chartreuse.

As Muir desperately insists that clearly the report that said what he didn't want to hear is fake, he also notes that he's gotten less money this year.

After starting earlier.

Yeah, I'm loving the schadenfreude. 

"Responding To Crises In A Mature Manner Is Communism!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because yellow Chartreuse.

"We are the good guys, and the fact that we choose the worst possible choice on everything is PROOF of that!"

"Somehow, This Is Making A Valid Point Against My Opponents! Somehow."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I've got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in.

These days Muir's even half-assing his sexism.

"Time To Torture A Sentient Being!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I fly a starship across the universe divide.

It says something that when the cast interacts with a miracle of AI, they ultimately wind up hurting it out of petty spite.

Things Have Now Progressed To A Steady March Of Awful.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because murky gray.

...

...

Yeah.  This is clearly such a winner.

"It's Awesome That The President Is Meeting With The Crazy Dictator I Used To Swear He Had Quaking In Fear!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because coughing fit.

Hey, remember when Tillerson wasn't an unperson in this strip?

Fun times.  Fun times.

So, He's Alexa, Only More Obnoxious.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because All the Money In the World.

...

It's kind of amusing that Jeeves is supposed to be seen as helpful.

Because, Of Course.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because spirit of the radio.

My guess is that Muir was starting to miss indulging in his breastfeeding fetish.

That Strip Just Happened.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Slim Pickens.

...

...

...

That strip went past crazy, into "gibbering and flinging its own shit against the wall".

"Hating Bill Gives Meaning To Our Bleak Lives!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because turn another page on the teenage rampage now.

Clearly, this is the most important topic they could be focusing on right now.

"Yes, Half The Voters Are Scum And Sheep!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because career opportunities, the ones that never knock.

Clearly, the murderers in the compound represent all that is good about our nation.

Robot Humor, Now With Horrible Misogynistic Hillary Bashing!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because out here in the fields, I fought for my meals.

...

Yeah, that was just what this entire awful premise needs.  Awful, incoherent Hillary Clinton jokes.

Robot Humor, Now With Puns!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because weeble-wobbles wobble but they don't fall down.

Well, this remains an... interesting choice to begin a pledge drive on. 

...

*shudders*

A Strip That Can Barely Bother To Care.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because bran flour.

Because this is the sort of strip you want to showcase--a badly drawn poorly written mess featuring characters that break your setting.

"We Accept Check, Credit, And Money Orders. Or Just An Envelope Stuffed With Bills."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Guide to Trees.

As the completely unfunny story of the robot characters we never needed goes on, I'm going to note that this year's begging seems to be starting lower than usual.  So let's see how long the damn thing drags on this time...

"Now I Like Rosanne Barr!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm standing at the gates of the west.

And Muir jumps on the latest controversy much too late, and with nothing really to say.

Same as it ever was.

...You Know The Picard Face-Palm Meme?

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I'm walking in the rain--tears are falling and I feel a pain.

...

...

...

This is profoundly a moment where you're supposed to realize that a mistake has been made.

Chris Muir's Scenes From A Marriage.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because if you change your mind, I'm the first in line.

And remember, folks, the Spinoff is still going and is so crazy it makes the rest of the strip look like happy fun cheery things.

Remember The Pretend Scandal That Was About The Insisting The Actual Scandal Wasn't Real!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because revolution on the Hudson.


It says something that Muir has gone full apologist only slightly over a year into the Trump Presidency.

Now Supporting Skinheads.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because awkward segue.

And the side effect of Muir's freebasing ever more extreme news substitutes--now he's pledging his support to a British white supremacist. 

"This Shows How Awesome I Am, Believing Ludicrous Conspiracy Theories!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because obligatory cameo.

Remember when she supposedly had Parkinson's and multiple diseases?

Yep, it's good to see that even her being a private citizen doesn't keep the ridiculous slander from flowing.

And by "good" I mean "awful".

Muir's Version Of An Ideal Marriage.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because One-Punch Man.

You know, as awful and sexist as this is, it would be worse if Sam weren't basically a gender-flipped version of her husband.

Chockfull Of Alternative Facts, Or As They Are Also Known, Lies.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because if you've got know place to go, if you're feeling down.

The pointless sexism brought into the paranoid rants for no apparent reason is pretty much peak-Muir, isn't it?

"This Is Witty, Not Disturbing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because slight chill.

It says something that the dream he mentions sound more like the indicator of a serial killer than the ever so amusing bit of drollery he imagines it to be.

Oh, and Sam's face has achieved something truly horrifying in that last panel.

"Everyone To The Left Of Me Is A Communist!"

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

As Muir defends an administration in hock to a KGB apparatchik turned de facto dictator, let's enjoy yet another demonstration of his complete lack of historical knowledge.

"The Sacred Gun Shall Protect Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because hell to the no.

And once again, we get a grand demonstration that Muir doesn't know history at all.  While imagining he does.

"Har Har! I've Got Such Cutting Wit!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because please Father Christmas.

So, what does Muir gain from acting like a sexist git in this case?  Because as far as I can see, this is simply so he can be a sexist git.

"Not All Of Us Are Decadent! Some Of Us Are Armed!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

And as Muir prepares for another lengthy bit of online begging to keep his paean to free industry up, let's just stare at the awkward praise for the Murikan herrenvolk and their mighty supply of firearms.

And Muir Ignores What He's Done Here.

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

And I think Muir has actually forgotten who got elected in 1980, in his championing of his new orange-tinged Vozhd.

"It's All The Evil Jews! Also, Obama Is A Gay Muslim!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because send a holla-gram.

It just eats them up that Obama's always going to have been President now. 

"These Words Mean What I Want Them To Mean!"

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

Ahh, yes, a strip of Sam's distorted face speaking nonsense and smugly fucking with a faceless opponent.

The extent to which Muir has not only not progressed but actually regressed as an artist is kind of amazing.

"Siccing A Feral Bull On People We Don't Like Shows That We're Superior!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Roland searched the continent for the man who did him in.

Remember people, the characters with all the power who are rewarded constantly for their bad actions are this strip's lovable protagonists.

Well, they're supposed to be lovable, anyway.

"Ha Ha! Stupid Protesters!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Merriam Webster.

So either evil robots or special forces attacking protestors.

Yep, such a bwave man, Muir. 

Of Course That's The Spanish Expression He Uses. Of Course.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wear your love like heaven.

I don't know whether the robot or El Dorado Dad's accent is the least believable element of the strip.

"Go To The Sunken Place, Damon!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Fantaman, Fantaman!

At times like this, I like to think that the hideous parody of life that Damon and Jan have been granted as the strip's token minorities is an inexact process and that sometimes it fails slightly, resulting in these bizarre little hiccups. 

"Let Us All Smile Like The Hideous Mockeries Of Life We Are!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because his mother was a saint.

El Dorado Dad and Hellspawn in the same strip.

...Lucky us.

"They Are All Criminals And Secret Muslims!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Nanook, no, no, no.

To be fair, this is actually a return to relative normal by Muir's standards.

"And The Freedom To Melt Like Congealed Fat!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because remember when the ocean went mad and we were to blame.

Muir's Trump drawings just get worse and worse.

"You Have Suffered Hardships No Other President Has, I Assume, Because I Don't Bother To Learn Things."

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

You know, this is so pathetic on so many levels, that I actually feel pity for Muir in this case.

"He's So Bwave!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Pacific Time Zone.

The signs of Trump's failures as a leader are in fact all evidence of his GENIUS as a leader!  That's brilliant!

No, wait, that's crazy.  That was the word I was looking for.

"Our Opponents Are Simultaneously Geniuses And Morons!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Vegetable Man where are you?

To be fair to Muir, the declarations of victory on the Right have spread from the 'unabashed lunatic fringe' to the 'desperately trying to appear sane' portion as the situation grows worse.

It's like Iraq all over again.

"Yes, The Jewish Man Is Clearly A Nazi!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because smart, visceral, terrifying.

There's a reason that Republicans have to play the internal resistance of the government to their increasingly lawless stance as a malignant conspiracy--to admit the truth would be to cast themselves as a disease in the body politic, and once you admit that, you start having to reconsider things.

And so we see Chuck Schumer painted as a Nazi, because, sure, why not.

"Ha Ha! Our Foes Are All Inferior And Stupid, And This Is True Because I Keep Saying It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Uru hammer.

It says something, the extent to which the Right has switched from trying to convince people, or even muddy the waters, to simply confirming to their own that All is Well.

"We Are Totally Winning This, Yep!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because his houses were built upon the sand.

Muir.  For law and order, but only for the other people.

"Right! This Proves Everyone Who Is Against Me Is A Liar!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I am a man, I am a mountain.

Ahh, yes.  More crazy conspiracy theories to explain how everyone is against you, and how all this evidence you're on the wrong side is fake.  Got it.

"You Are The Bad Guys! Not Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tower Hamlets.

So remember, the people who are allied with a bunch of Nazis who held a Nazi rally?

Not Nazis.

The people who elected a black man?

Nazis.

The people calling for a woman to be locked up just because?

Not fascists.

The people investigating actual wrong-doing?

Fascists.

Because it's not about what you do, or what you believe.  Muir knows that he's good and a patriot, because he's him, and how could he be anything else, mmmm?

"Stupid Wimmen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because baby, can you hear me call?

Because remember, white guys are always the real victims, in the Muirverse.

"I Demand You Show A Courtesy I Will Never Return!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because just a metal circle.

So, same strip as yesterday, pretty much.

"And They Are Nazis Because We Say So!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I've been waiting so long.

You know, rather than focus on the inane politics of this strip, I'm going to point out that Jan is apparently dissolving into geometric shapes.  Because of course she is.

"Let Our Insane Plotlines Combine!"

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

 ...

I'm now wondering if there's a point to all this besides rampant insanity.

"Clearly, A Crazy Man Telling Me What I Want To Hear Is A Man Of Power And Influence."

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

So, in the DbD universe, the reddit poster Qanon is a super-leet guy who knows things instead a rambling crazy telling people nonsense. 

Oh, and he knows the cast, because of course he does.

"Ha Ha! The Dumb Traitors Are Obviously Panicked About This!"

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

As the Koreas take steps towards a permanent peace largely by working around us, Muir adjusts his thinking to view this as a good thing, and to insist that his enemies are traitors.

Not his hero.  Never his hero.

"I Perceive This As Lovable!"

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

...

...

And the cast continues to try and approximate human behavior.

"It's Vaguely Like A Sex Joke!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because walk on by.

You know, this doesn't even succeed as an attempt at a joke. 

"We're Are Wronged. Despite The Whole 'Treasons And Crimes' Matter."

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

Well, it's good to know that the woman who was violating her oath as an officer of the government thinks the Compound dwellers are okay people, despite all the murder and so forth. 

Yep, peachy keen.

"Ha Ha! She Is An Awful Hag, Who Is Out Of Touch With The American People Unlike Ourselves!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Giant Boy Detective.

And the band played on...

"They Are Mean To The Leader For No Real Reason!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because British Cameroons.

The goalposts shift, as they are wont to, aided by Muir not knowing what the hell he is talking about.

"We Are Surrounded By Traitors, And Obviously False Accusations!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ramblin' rose.

At this point, I'm really wondering what the Republicans can do to keep the Muirs of this world happy. It's like the list of demands get crazier every year.

"He's Just Like Me! A Smug Asshole Who Is Magically Always Right!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because feelings all through the night.

Damon is so out of sorts, he's stuck in the same pose.
