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.

Once again, Muir has managed to make me gasp out loud, long after I have any business being surprised anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat got me wasn’t his by-now stale trope of depicting a hated enemy-of-the-week as a leering pervert, but deeply unsettling glee with which he depicts said enemy being apprehended —and possibly about to be murdered—by a terrifying monster in the service of Muir’s personal (and thankfully, fictitious) power.
Muir makes his psychological issues even more clear to the world than Trump does, but that’s only because he is a deeper and more articulate mind.
And predictably, I see that the peanut gallery is having a lot of fun voicing their elaborate and gruesome fantasies as to how Mr. Stzrok should be killed and his remains disposed of.
ReplyDeleteThese people all have guns. Let's not forget that.
The biggest problem with these strips is that they underline how much Muir's (tiny, downright incestuous) cast has left any sort of recognizable reality. They have robots and billionaire friends/relations that speak of rich Corinthian leather, and they are snipers, and super geniuses.
