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?
