It's the Day's Day of Days! Because actual cause of death, first degree irony.
Once again Muir's base assumption that anything he and his do is okay and that their bigotry is both proper and mandated leads him to create a bizarre definition of authoritarianism while ignoring how damn authoritarian he actually is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you ask a passer-by for directions, only to find he has no face or something.
Muir's ongoing vision of resistance of a government daring to arrest people--or more exactly, white people--for breaking the law manages to be as pathetic as always.
As does the twins' ongoing rocketing through puberty. I've said it before, and I'll say it again--there's something extra-cringey about how he draws a pair of 13 year olds like they were 18 year olds.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because someone smeared mystery on the locks.
It's kind of fascinating how badly the terrible political commentary and the lazy, anything goes plotline done by a man with no imagination hang together.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Robot, experience this tragic irony for me!
Ahh, yes. It's hateful and violent to not let Muir and his fellows be hateful and violent, and guns are magic.
Also, dear God, that baby is grotesque.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because maybe it's magic, or contains some kind of monster. The second one.
You know a crazy internet theory is in trouble when Muir is reduced to gibberish that fails to convey any sense of what he means.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's a magical river, that's how.
It says something that Muir has more or less deserted current events to dwell on distorted versions of past ones. And also to keep calling Democrats 'communists'.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the creatures, but that humblest of all God's creatures, the tyrannosaurus rex.
I see Muir can't be bothered to spell heretics' names right. Shock.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.
There are of course two levels to this--on the one, Muir is celebrating nonsense that isn't really happening, a mass rebellion that is little more than whining declarations from county boards. But the other level is that when the shoe is on the other foot, and it was Trump for example complaining about sanctuary cities, then the Government must be obeyed.
Because Muir feels he and his are the only people who deserve power.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because P v. NP.
Muir is a bully. Muir is a coward. Muir is a thug. He applauds these things in others. And when the consequences of that cowardly, bullying thuggery happen, he blubbers and whines, and insists this proves that his opponents are evil, because Muir thinks he and his have a right to be awful, and suffer no penalties.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you'll even rob the blind.
Covid-19 has not been kind to the American Right's delusion of competence, but like Muir they will keep insisting incapable morons like DeSantis have been smashing it, because admitting that they aren't the tough men who know what's best is poison to them.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Unknown Worlds.
There are two things to take away from this. One is that for the Greenwalds and Reynolds of this world, none of their sucking up to the Right actually helps them, in part because for the Right, unless you totally buy their worldview, and declare that the riot wasn't a riot, well, you're just part of the evil conspiracy of evil.
The other of course, is the underlining of Muir's fascism. White supremacists and reactionaries rioting will never be seen by him as rioting, because to his mind they cannot. The public order exists to serve them and their cause, and when it does not, it is their right to attack it violently, to threaten its officers, and to destroy its buildings. Fascism does not create orderly societies--its creates criminal societies where the gang in charge acts as it pleases until it undermines the whole structure enough to bring it all down.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if we do this wrong, there will be three of you.
Always fun watching Muir jump on a hobbyhorse he has no real understanding of because his fellow cultists tell him it's his job to be offended by this going on.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the hairy ones shall dance.
And you just know in a few strips, he's going to accuse Democrats of being pedophiles.
Because this is just jokes. And normal. It's what guys do. Muir knows that, because he could never do anything sick and wrong.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because porcelain.
Astonishing how Muir's Biden seems more like Actual Trump, isn't it?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because there will come a time.
So Muir's accusations of a witch hunt involves slandering countless female Democrats, most of whom are also minority members.
That shows a stunning lack of self-awareness, and awful presence of something else.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because all the stars were shining bright.
On some level Muir realizes that declaring that over half the population of the US are communists is... well, a bad take and so we get attempts to wiggle out of declaring war on the rest of the nations. Most of them are fine, but SOME are evil. Because Muir also knows on some level that coming out with what he really believes--that a small group of white men should run the country according to their whims--well, it might not be popular.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sluggo.
You know it's impossible not to note Muir's relief on some level--he's back to claiming to be persecuted by an all powerful, oppressive government that is also run by decadent morons, instead of insisting a government run by decadent morons that wishes it was all powerful and oppressive is the bee's knees.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lonely Vigils.
"Like when they fought against the Depression, instead of letting the Market solve things in its perfect wisdom by collapsing completely and destroying the world's economy! Or when they fought the Nazis! Stupid Democrats! We could be a fascist dystopia if not for you!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Robin Hood of Sherwood.
Let's see how long Muir can like a European nation. My bet is 'not long'.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I been feeling it since 1966.
Ahh, yesterday's joke, only, somehow more misogynist. I guess that's... kind of an accomplishment.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because what do you do with a drunken sailor?
I see Muir is dealing with an attractive young liberal woman who he can't have abandon the cause because he created her and now wants to hatefuck her about as well as he has watching Trump lose the Presidency.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wreckless Eric.
Muir is going back to the cast's old shtick of baffling the inferior Democrat scum with their superior wits. It doesn't work for the reasons it's never worked--firstly, Muir's caricatures of Democrats are invariably sloppy strawmen that bear little resemblance to the people they're supposed to be mocking, and secondly, his cast are such obnoxious morons that they only "win" the confrontation because Muir says they do.
Still, it's a break from Muir's 'Real Muricans are Seditious Nazis' line, so, hey, I'll take it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hear My Song.
At this point, we've got Muir in another 'throw everything against the wall, and see what sticks' burst of shit, using this bizarre remote gag that it seems clear he hasn't really thought out. Like the rest of the cast's wondertech.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because huh.
You know, moments like this underline one of Damon's past purposes in this strip, allowing Muir to paint conservatism as the intelligent rational philosophy as opposed to crazy evil liberalism. He was never any good at it because Muir thought being intelligent and rational meant acting like a smug jackass, and over time it somehow morphed into his having a son who could produce magic technology to show how cool the protagonists are, but traces of it remain.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Deadly Rabbits.
As Muir waves his fist at all the young kids who seem to think socialism isn't so bad, and don't understand that it inevitably leads to Stalinism, and ignore all the times it didn't, that's just the conspiracy, let us consider this latest effort to get Damon and Jan to be relevant to the strip again, when they've largely devolved into side-characters not least because there's no longer any political differences between the pair.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Smoky Nail.
A reminder that Muir lives in Florida, not Texas.
Which is probably why he imagines the People's Republic of Austen as being... well, a stronghold for his sort of people being slandered by an evil... Californian.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because paging Mr. Herman.
He says this AFTER his guys stormed the Capitol in an ill-considered coup attempt which he continues to cheer as democracy in action.
Because only a cultist would deny that good is evil, democracy is tyranny and the Ghost Dance shall make the bullets bounce off the believers' skins.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because pressure drop.
Remember folks, every time Muir gives a crazy evil wall of text about how the country is run by sinister unpatriotic elites in the pay of foreigners, these chuckleheads run a racist militia with foreign backing.
But that doesn't count. They're fascists, and thus good.
