"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.

Cue Laugh Track.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because so lift my eyes to where my help comes from.

You know, this kind of reminds of Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.  Except, without being funny.

"After All, Everyone Who Isn't A Raving Conservative Is A Pathetic Lefty Who No One Should Support!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the deal was made in Denmark, on a dark and stormy day.

That baby is the avatar of a damned soul.

"Yeah, Everyone But Us Is Awful!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she cried to the southern wind about a love that was sure to end.

So now Comey is a "lefty". I think one day Muir's list of politically acceptable people will eventually countable on one hand.

"And Remember, I Am Terrible!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the dream police.

...

Ahh, yes, the Sitcom from Hell.  Where it's still the early Double-Aughts, and always will be.

But hey--Skye is back to being awful.  Even for this cast.

"I Mean, The Name Literally Means 'Truth'!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the fluke is the duke of soul.

....

...

Muir's literally become a useful idiot for the Russian intelligence apparatus.  That's how bad he's gotten without realizing it.

"This Is What I Believe Happened Today! Tomorrow, I Might Believe Something Else!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because under the sea.

Man, watching Muir squirm as he tries to convince himself that he isn't the patsy and that his boy is the victim helps me get through this presidency.

Not as much as a good Irish coffee, mind you, but some.

"He's A Sissy!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because there is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and dark of life.

...

So, Muir's managed to blend his five-minute hates and his increasingly bizarre gender issues.  Good to know.

Love Amongst Lovecraftian Entities.

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

It's like what little vestiges of humanity the cast has are vanishing.

El Dorado Dad Is Still In The Strip, Apparently.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because poppy seeds.

Well, Muir just managed to mess up a "Most Interesting Man in the World' joke. 

That might just count as an achievement of a sort.

"This Is Clearly What Is Happening!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it goes down stairs.

At this point, I expect Muir to go full "Lizard People" in a year or two.

And if you're wondering what I mean, Google "David Icke".

And Victor Hugo Turns In His Grave.

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

And I'm now more certain than ever that Muir has never read Les Miserables. 

I mean, it's got a whole chapter on the history of Paris' sewers.  Because that was how Hugo rolled.

"I Am Now Part Howler Monkey!"

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

It's worth noting that every drawing that isn't just an old sketch is horrifying.

"The Fool Was Tainted The Moment He Took The Lugenpresse's Lucher!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sure looks strange to me.

And no mention of the actual tweet that got him fired.

Wouldn't want to clutter things up with facts.

"This Is How We Get Into The Mood!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because king without a crown.

The combination of right-wing babble and bad pinup art make this a fascinating example of Muir failing at two things at once...

"I Have No Idea What's Happening Anymore, But I'll Pretend I Do."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Four Just Men.

It's tough not to feel Muir is feeling lost and directionless these days.  Here he tries to prepare for an imaginary bloodbath against racist caricatures of real people in need, but then gets surprised by his hero declaring victory.

One wonders what's going to happen when he learns the "caravan" is in fact still heading towards the border.

"I'm Gonna Go Kill People!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because anything you want you got it.

Yeah.  I kind of want Muir to get on with the awful part, so he can nauseate me, instead of simply boring me.

"Yep, Just Cheery Chat As We Prepare To Go Kill People!"

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

It says something that every aspect of this conversation makes these people more loathsome.

"Time To Imagine Ethnic Cleansing!"

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

Ahh, good.  Muir's shifted to pretending he's going to do something horrible against a pretend version of real life refugees.  It will be awful, but at least he's going to be interested in the strip, for a while.

"It's A Shame Our Inferior Democrat Natures Mean We Only Show Up In One Pose.

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

It's almost sad how Muir can't seem to put any energy in his Pelosi and Schumer bashing.  Just the same damn drawing and the same bad racist "jokes".

"You Are Pathetic And Weak! And Also Omnipotent And Strong, When We Fail."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I heard someone singing sweet and soulful.

Ahh, the 'lemmings off the cliff' myth.  Just the sort of fine attention to detail and facts I expect from Muir.

"Youse Guys Is Just Like Hitler!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch.

Ahh, yes.  Always time to attack the victims.  Stay classy, Muir.

Disturbing On So Many Levels.

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

Man, the longer Russian Guyovich stays in this relationship, the more of a sexist prat he becomes.

"But I Am Russian-Bot!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Huntley-Brinkley Report.

...

Again, somehow they are the persecuted few, despite holding every branch of government.

Muir No Longer Sure What He Thinks...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tucker Titan.

...

I think Muir is reach the point where he's just shouting into the wind, and hoping the gibberish sounds like some kind of sense when he's done at this point. This is desperate, even for him.

"Clearly, White People Are The Greatest Victims In History."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I've sat upon the setting sun.

Ignoring what is a gross misstatement of the ANC's present policy--and I'm not a fan of the present ANC government--who wants to bet how long it takes for Bolton to become the latest unperson, like the man who Muir would have drawn in that chair a few weeks ago?

"...W--Winning?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because military vehicles.

 Hmmm.  It really does look like Muir is starting to lose faith.  It's almost like having to shout rationalizations for over a year was tiring...

"We Are The Real Good Guys And Everyone Is On Our Side!"

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

Hmm... Has Muir turned on his Orange Savior, or does he simply believe that he is momentarily mislead? 

Well, let's see how this develops.

"How Dare They Not Burn Everything Down!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because mucho macho man.

So how's he going to fantasize killing them next do you think?  Acid bath?

"One Thing I Know Is That Bill Clinton Is The AntiChrist."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because two by two.

I'm sensing a certain level of desperation creeping in.  Beyond Muir's typical desperation, mind you.

"Well, More Like Two Things I Don't Really Know Shit About..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because bad bad love.

Ahh, yes, more of Muir's patented Islamocommufascists. At this point, I wondering when do they become lizard-people...

"This Is What's Happening! This And Nothing Else!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because six is having troubles adjusting to his clone status.

Well, at least Muir is responding to things happening in the real world again.

Now I await Tillerson's unpersoning.

Well, That Happened.

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

This plotline is moving into a sort of fever dream territory now.  I genuinely wonder if the strip's on the verge of losing what little cohesion it has.

"Who Doesn't Love Pinochet?"

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

...

And remember, the Compound are the Good Guys.  Because their enemies are Pedophiles.

"It's All A Conspiracy, And I Unleashed Vigilante Justice! You're Welcome!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Horatio Hornblower.

...

....

This strip sort of underlines everything that's wrong with the comic now, doesn't it?

"Purge The Disloyal, That's What I Say!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we are Indians.

So, she's not a Deep State, she's an individual acting as a spy for a group of private individuals who run a racist compound that kills people on the Texan border.

...

Clearly, a top agent.

These Are Not Human Beings.

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

The cast grows more and more grotesque with each cartoon.

I'A SHUB NIGGURATH!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.

...

...

...

Moving on.

"Ha Ha! This Is Terribly Relevant!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because go to hell if what you're thinking is not right.

This is the saddest "All is Well!" we've seen from Muir yet.

CTHULHU FHTAGN!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because first there is a mountain.

...

Those are not human figures.

He's Getting A Lot Of Use Out Of That Panel.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the world is round.

As Muir insists that it is of course only a few bad apples that dare persecute his stand-up bunch of racist murderers living on a compound, let's look at how much art he's recycled in the last few strips.  It's kind of awe-inspiring.

"They Are Forever And For Always The Real Racists!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because then nothing more.

Man, to see this much cherry-picking, you'd have to go to an orchard most of the time..

Enjoy The Same Panel Twice!

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

I guess Muir feels like he needs to add a new pinup.  Or something. 

It's The Same Old Song.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Billy, don't you turn your back on me.

So bad drawings, ripped off song lyrics, and a plotline Muir's done dozens of times before. 

Is Muir feeling tired, perhaps?

A Bold Move, Cotton.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because back in the high life again.

As we all enjoy nothing happening, we ask how the hell are Skye and Sam twisting themselves into those positions?

And Marvin Gaye Turns In The Grave He Entered Too Early.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the continent of Atlantis was an island.

...I'm just going to focus on the fact that Sam and Skye look like freaky mutant creatures in that last panel, as it easily outweighs the rest of the strip.

The Bad Ideas Keep On Keeping On.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we're caught in a trap.

Ahh, combining one of the intermittent "Evil Government Agent" plots with these clowns.  Of course.

"Who Doesn't Love The Terminator!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because back in the high life again.

...

...

Because clearly, doubling down on this idea is exactly what you should do.

"There's A Point To This! Really!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because if I made you feel second best, I 'm so sorry I was blind.

...

...

Uh-huh.

The Bad Pinups Go On And On.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because don't the sun look angry through the trees?

I think I can make a safe guess what the strip is going to focus on as the Trump administration drags on, and Muir finds himself... unhappy.

"This Is EXACTLY How Things Work!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because don't make it make you want to rock'n'roll all night long--Mohammed's radio?

So, that's what it takes to get Muir to turn the Leader.

"This Is What Is Actually Happening! THIS!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because keep on smiling.

Man, Muir just uses the same drawing for Pelosi and Schumer all the time, doesn't he?

"We Need To Ban It All, And Let Armed Paramilitaries Handle Everything!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because stamp collecting.

I suppose Muir would have rushed in whether he was armed or not, just like his hero.

Sessions Was Always The Enemy! ALWAYS!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you used to be the one.

Let's see who the next person Muir declares an unperson will be, mmmm?

"I Know I Would Be Brave, From All The Times I've Had Things Like This Happen In My Head."

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Killer Kane.

Well, at least he isn't going down the "false flag" route.

Yet.

"The Eight Years Of Horror Between The Glory Of Dubya And Trump!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because guitar solo continues.

What makes Republicans and the Right so loathe peace, prosperity and the good will of other nations?

"Clearly A Joke That Needs To Go On!"

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

...

Yeah, that strip happened.

"Who's Up For Wacky Hijinks?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a little people magic if you will.

...

It says something that the annoying side characters are less annoying than the main cast.

"They Are All Phonies! Not Like Man Of The People Trump!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because O Lady Moon shine down.

As there is little reason to discuss the same old Democrat-bashing, I'm going to focus on the fact that Jan has apparently lost her skeleton.

Which is a pretty good analogy for what's happened to her character in the story, actually.

The Robot Agrees With Me.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because love is breathing still.

It's the lack of... real eyes that makes them so horrifying, really.

And PG Wodehouse Turns In His Grave.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because o, Rock of Ages, do not crumble.

Of course, if Muir actually read the books, he'd know that Jeeves is the smart unflappable one working for an airhead.  But then, that'd involve actually being interested in the culture he pretends to champion.

Flogging The Dead Horse Puree.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because that's the way we whimper and wail.

At this point, I'm wondering how long he can keep this up for.

Hopefully not too much longer.

"Everyone Is Awful, And Racist Against Whites!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sooner or later...

When Muir started thinking walls of text were good cartoons, he turned a dark corner.

When said walls of text became word salad... he turned a darker one.

"How About Some Churros?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because take my hand.

...

Yup.  This is certainly happening.

"Our Opponents Are All Corrupt And Evil!"

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

Muir just can't help have all his enemies be cackling hypocrites, can he?

Things Get Ever And Ever More Weird.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I don't where.

Next up, everyone confesses to the grand anti-Trump conspiracy.

"Back Font Of Satan!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because she's giving me excitations.

 Man, I don't even like Amazon Echo, and that seems a bit much.

"This Is Incredibly Relevant!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because cigar boxes.

The unknowing irony of replaying the Cold War's greatest hits years after they've lost most of their relevance while going on about communists being obsessed with the past is deeply amusing.

"Soon We Will Purge The Unworthy!"

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

Yes, why can't they be productive like the murderous compound dwellers?

"The Hive Of Scum And Villainy That Is Europe!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because baby please.

...

This is starting to sound like Garth Marenghi going off about Scotland.

And It Goes On...

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

Well, it's good to see that Damon is now fully back to justifying white racism as a fictional black guy.  It's been awhile, actually.

Somehow, He Thought This Was A Good Idea.

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

The horrible fever dream continues.  Because of course it does.

A Sort Of Awful Fever Dream...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Beck is a Scientologist.

As we continue this absurdist nightmare, let's remember that Italy has suddenly turned into Mad Max world in the last few strips, because, of course it has.

"Let Us Flee The Horror That Is... Europe."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because New Zealand.

...

"On the next episode of Camp of the Saints..."

Chekhov's Racist-ass Gun.

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

As what we saw as inevitably happening from the moment Muir had them pack firearms on their trips happen, let's muse on the fact that Muir clearly thinks North Africans are black.

Because of course he does.

"Back In The Bubble, Back In The Bubble!"

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

And now it's just back to boring cast antics because Muir wants to ignore what actually just happened with the sacred memo that was going to solve everything.

"You're The Traitors! Not US! NEVER US!"

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

Right, you're being oppressed by the Left, Muir, even though you hold the Presidency and both chambers of Congress.  And the Left--the Left is clearly in bed with Russia, all evidence to the contrary being delusions.

"This Is All True If You Look At It Sideways!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because illustrated encyclopedia.

Who's next on the enemies list? The fun never stops!

"We Must Hang The Traitors Who Dare Investigate My Side's Treason!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Eye of Argon.

And of course, Muir works in a racist slur into charging Obama with treason.  Because that's him.

A Disturbing Look Into Muir's Subconscious.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Letter Y.

So, this is the first thing Muir thinks of when he thinks of Comey, eh?

Sometimes reading this strip is like watching a man punch himself in the face.

We Have Always Been At War With The FBI!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the letter E.

There's a part of me that can't help but feel a strange satisfaction at almost all the federal law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies discovering that they are all the BATF now.

Of course, there's another part that is scared shitless.

In This Universe, Even Robots Are Sexist Asses.

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

It says something about DbD that at this point, a bad joke can become a cast member because Muir says why the hell not?

"This Is Relevant, Somehow!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because these are not for eating.

And we're back to this.  *sighs*

And John Carpenter Suddenly Felt A Great Irritation, But Didn't Know Why...

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

So what did Mitch and Paul do this week to be declared heretics?

Not that it really matters, mind you, but it does have a certain strange charm, seeing the latest insane disputes between the Right.

"It Must Be True! My Fellow Cranks Wouldn't Lie To Me!"

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

So, more creepy imaginary triumphs, and screaming about the Illuminati. Got it.

"This Sure Proves Things!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Blue Oyster Cult.

Ahh, yes.  Another meaningless imaginary victory over a farcical ape of this week's Goldstein, accompanied by crap T & A.  Yawn.

Muir Doesn't Take Kindly To Preverts.

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

You know, Muir's pulled this same stunt for years now, insisting that the evil government agents are incredible perverts, as he draws a strip that is clearly supposed to titillate his intended audience of crazy paranoids.  And it's invariably the same strip, so the lack of self-reflection here is... bracing.

The Interplay of Sex And Racism.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because original flavor

So apparently ethnic cleansing schemes get the Mittys hot and bothered.

What nice people.

"This Is The Important Stuff! Nothing Else!"

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

It's tough to avoid the feeling that years of screaming at shadows have made Muir not only prone to do so, but unable to recognize a real threat when it comes.

"This Is Their Fault! THEIR FAULT!"

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

Astonishing how it always turns out to be "the Democrats support slavery", in'it?  Not wanting to deport children and productive Americans?  SLAVERY!  Not wanting to put minorities in prison en masse? SLAVERY!  At this point, it's clear "slavery" to Muir means anything but things that actually resemble slavery.

"Yes, Everything Is The Opposite Of How It Seems To The Uninitiated!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because born under a bad sign.

So, we move from "the South is totally not racist!" to "The FISA warrant was the real crime!" 

That none of this makes any sense is of course immaterial.  Hell, it's part of the point.  Things that make sense are for those deluded sheeple.  The fact that explaining how the conspiracy works tends to unravel is part of what proves that it so very subtle and so very clever.

Bad Soft-Core. The Sign Of A True Christian Patriot.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because soot-styx.

...

...

Every damn year, this strip gets a little filthier.

Taking Bets This Was Drawn Left-Handed.

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

...

Honestly, with their isolation from the rest of society, those girls have a lot more things to worry about than their parents running a creepy Hooters style restaurant.

Oh, so much more.

"Clearly, We Must Strike First!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because ocean of the streams of story.

They won the presidency.  They still hold Congress. Red states continue to take the majority of federal funds while viewing the blue states that are funding them as a bunch of parasites  And yet the Right continuously tells itself that is the victim of a powerful cabal, a weak and persecuted people.  And yet also strong and virtuous, unlike those people. 

Which is why it has taken Muir under a year for the compound dwellers to go back to preparing for the coming civil war.

"It'd Be Like Pimping, Only Legal."

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

Zed and Sam's marriage has gone in some very creepy directions over the year, hasn't it?

I mean, this isn't even the first time Zed's had plans like that.

"Remember Something That Was Actually Funny!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because St. Stephen.

Muir's knack for referring to much better comedy does a great job reminding us all how much this strip isn't funny.

"For We Have Oodles Of The Sex."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because where the ocean meets the land.

The prospect of nuclear Armageddon is simply a chance for Captain Mitty to think of the great sex he'd have with Mrs. Mitty, because that is the sort of rich life Muir's imaginary version of himself has.

"This Explains Why Those Libtard Snowflakes Believe Such Insane Conspiracy Theories!"

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

The Right has now reached the point where they project their projection onto their opponents.  We are through the looking glass people.

"Somehow, This Proves How The Clintons Are Worse."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Is that...? 

Yep, it's a Pizzagate reference.  Well, Skye continues to join the hivemind.

This Is What It Takes To Get Muir To See Trump As A (Possible) Traitor.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because shadow on the wall.

Those circular firing squads won't make themselves, I guess.

Clearly, The Important Issue Of The Day!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because marshmallow fluff.

For there has never been so corrupt a pair as the Clintons.

Even if years of investigations seem to suggest that the preceding statement is a lie.

Ha Ha. Wimmen.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because shooting starsa.

Well, at least he's dialed the misogyny down some.

Chris Muir's Scenes From A Marriage.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because marine mammals.

...

Because what you wanted to do with this crazy is double down on it.

"Let's Marry Misogyny With A Little Insanity!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because back on the chain gang.

What the hell is that strip?  I mean it.  What the hell?

"It'll Be Perfect!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because run right back to her.

Good to see Muir demonstrating the depth of his knowledge of the Constitution he supposedly reveres. 

Which is to say 'essentially nil'.

"Everything Is Fine, Citizen!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the only Muggle at Hogwarts.

Muir really seems to believe by constantly insisting that it is so, he can make the investigation a nonevent, and Trump the beloved popular vote winner.

Not having to care about reality lets you do this.  Until suddenly it doesn't.

And John Boorman Awakens With A Feeling Of Dread In The Pit Of His Stomach...

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

Because there's no bit of pop culture Muir can't mess up.

"Remember, Your Suffering Is Proof That You Are Evil And Bad, As Opposed, Of Course, To My Suffering."

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

Well, good to know that Muir continues to remain focused like a laser on the personal flaws of a private citizen who isn't president.

"Obama Is Not A Real American, And The DNC Is Desperate! DESPERATE!"

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

You can practically hear Muir hyperventilating as he writes that.

"Nothing Says Classy Like Dos Equis."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because just hold it.

Muir's apparently deep-rooted belief that El Dorado Dad is a character, much less a character we care about remains prominently on display.

"How Does His Money Even Work, Anyway?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you know his name.  It's Mr. Burns.

You know, if this strip operated with an iota of reason, El Dorado Dad would have lost his money as a result of backing the gang's various idiotic schemes.  But that would require the strip to acknowledge that these people aren't tremendously clever.  And we can't have that.
