"Clearly, The People With The Lead In The Polls Are Conspiring Against The Proper Winner!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Rite (1969).

Sometimes, I wonder how El Dorado Dad got and maintains his fortune, given that he's such a dithering moron.

The Filthy Urbanites Shall Pay!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Passion of Anna (1969).

And remember, the death plague doesn't matter. Portland is awful, and umm, ignore the federal agents who got sent there, that is also not an issue.

"Can't You See What A Threat He Is To Our Way Of Life?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Shame (1968).

And back to ignoring the disease to scream about the threat of Joe Biden, unhinged radical.

If He Can't Live On It, Why Does He Write It?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hour of the Wolf (1968).

Well, now we know for certain he never reads the New York Times.

Dey Wimpy Babies, And I Bwave Tough Guy, I Is!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Persona (1966).

And once again, Muir lashes out like an angry toddler at a world he doesn't understand.

The Point Is Self-Evident.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because All These Women (1964).

So... what is Muir saying here? Is he mocking masking? Supporting it? Did he just down a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman before making the strip, and this is what makes sense to him in that moment?

Let's Joke About The Measures To Keep People From Dying!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Silence (1963).

This is his first reference to Covid-19 in days. A lame joke.

One Hundred Years Of Nonsensitude.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Winter's Light (1963)

You know, the fascinating thing about this strip is that Muir is not only constructing an imaginary past that ignores what actually happened regarding the thing he's talking about--he's constructing an imaginary present to consider it in, one where the greatest issue of the day, the pandemic the president he supports turned into an out-of-control crisis, doesn't appear to matter. And so they talk about distorted versions of other issues--where the President is also failing--and avoid mentioning the plague.

Keep The Cash Flowing For Quality Work Like This!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Through a Glass Darkly (1961).

"Send Me More Money, People, Or I Erase The Cast!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Devil's Eye (1960).

Every time the panhandling fundraising reaches this point, I wish Muir would consider Signor Ravelli's fee-arrangements from Animal Crackers...

 

Family Matters Continued For Six More Seasons.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Virgin Spring (1960).

The way this strip acts like a bad 90s sitcom on crystal meth at times is startling.

It's Like When Urkel Took Over 'Family Matters'.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Magician (1958).

Does it say something that this sloppy, badly-drawn, derivative strip gets a certain measure of relief from me, because it's just Muir being lazy, instead of lazy and evil?

Muir Insults Others Masculinity Once Again.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Brink of Life (1958).

...

You know, Muir's simultaneously menacing and thuggish yet pathetic and harmless "leftists" are just getting more and more nonsensical. But hey, he got a soyboy in there. His fellow fascists are doubtless applauding.

Love Between Awful Robot... Things.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wild Strawberries (1957).

At this point, it's hard not to think that Muir is as baffled as we are on some level on the turn his strip as taken...

So... Insightful. That's A Word For It.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Seventh Seal (1957).

At this point, I'm genuinely baffled at what Muir thinks is going on in the world. Does he think the pandemic controls are some kind of sinister conspiracy? Does he think the pandemic is some kind of conspiracy? Does he think about it at all? About the only easily interpreted thing about that strip is that Muir's a sexist ass, and newsflash, we all know that by now.

All Individuals, Just Like Everybody Else!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Smiles of a Summer Night (1955).

Let's take a bleak amusement of Muir thinking that his unwillingness to accept reality and willingness to jump on various conspiracy theories represents rampant individuality.

Black People Just Need To Learn To Get Used To Dying So Old White People Feel Safe.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dreams (1955).

...

Amazing how he manages to flip what is meant by it completely.

But then, Muir's libertarianism and his authoritarianism have always been fairly race-specific, haven't they?

Ever More Epic Projection Of His Own Projection.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Lesson in Love (1954).

One hundred years of trying to bring on Communism.

Including the time they were fighting Communism, but that's just what the wily bastards WANT you to think.

Where Else Will The Fans Go For More Quality White Nationalist Entertainment?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sawdust and Tinsel (1953).

Every frickin' year, it takes him a bit longer. It almost makes me hope.

Take That, Civil Rights Movement! Take That!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dreams (1955).

So, that's an ending to that plot thread. Of sorts.

An incoherent and nonsensical ending that takes a pointless swipe at Black Lives Matter, because it can, but hey, it could be worse. He could have gone further into anti-vaxxer territory this strip.

It's Just Like WATER FLUORIDATION!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Summer with Monika (1952).

So now Muir's gone anti-vaxxer. During a pandemic.

...

Somehow, I'm not shocked.

"The Important Thing Is, Sir, That None Of This Is Your Fault, No Matter What People Say!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Waiting Women (1952).

It's kind of amusing that Muir's take on Trump and Pence has come to resemble Mr. Burns and Smithers at this point.

A Surefire Winner.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Summer Interlude (1951).

At the moment, I'm just getting some bleak amusement from the fact that he is writing all of this in the middle of his state melting down from Covid-19.

Very bleak, because, you know, it's a freaking plague.

This Is What Happens When You Hit Your Sixties, And You're Still Twelve Inside Of You.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because To Joy (1950).

The amount of stuff Muir does badly in this one strip is... kind of remarkable, actually.

...Okay.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Thirst (1949).

You know as baffling as this combo of Terminator references and.. horny robot jokes is, it does have the small mercy of not being one of the awful jokes that proceeded it.

The Continuing Adventures Of Naked Robot Lady.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Fanny and Alexander.

...

Yeah, this one's really gone simultaneously weird and lifeless...

....Okay,

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Prison (1949).

...

...

I'm sure that made sense when he outlined it. It just all fell apart when wrote it down.

Celebrating the 4th By Imagining Hurting Your Fellow Americans.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Thirst (1949).

Well, that was actually rather bland. I can't help but wonder if Muir can't keep his enthusiasm up these days.

New Variation On The Thing.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Port of Call (1948).

At this point, I'm thinking drawing AOC nude gave Muir bad fee-fees so he ended that thread quick.

The... Thing Continues.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Ship to India (1947).

...

At this point, not only do I not have any idea what Muir is going for here, I'm reasonably certain Muir doesn't either.

Well, This Is Definitely... A Thing.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Crisis (1946).

...

Muir's ability to absorb things without understanding them in the least remains a thing of dark wonder.
