It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the standard for him is pefection.
...I don't know what's worse... Skye's shift to the hivemind, or Muir's shift to a sort of blend of fascism and Maoism.
A day by day look at Chris Muir's Day By Day, punctuated by efforts to make the hurting stop.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the standard for him is pefection.
...I don't know what's worse... Skye's shift to the hivemind, or Muir's shift to a sort of blend of fascism and Maoism.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you know it's me, Cathy.
This is the closest simulacrum about concern for a woman's feelings Muir can create, Captain Mitty belligerently warning a man off from his adult pseudo-daughter without any input from her on the subject. It says something that it's actually hard to figure out whose attitude towards women is worse in this strip.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Parson's Widow.
I'll say this, at least Muir is merely being sexist and creepy instead of jaw-droppingly misogynistic. Sure it's another trip to the toxic well that is Captain Mitty, his wife, and their parody of an actual human relationship, but it's not a deep trip into that poison.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Rickroll.
The Compound disapproves of oppressing women.
Except in the ways Muir likes to.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because He used to lean upon me as I pledged allegiance to the wall.
Is he trying to set up a new couple? The soap opera segments of this strip are the most inept parts. I mean, the hateful politics at least have dedication behind them. This is Muir mechanically moving pieces and trying to get square pegs into round holes.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zigeunerweisen.
Ahh, static drawings and hateful dialogue. Two things you can count on DbD to supply in abundance.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because who's that writing? John the Revelator.
As we stare at a comic made of recycled poses from yesterday's strips, we watch Muir shift the Democratic Party further and further back into the history of the United States.
Soon, they will be the Illuminati from Atlantis. Just you watch.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm back to the black again.
It's the calls for self-genocide that really... gets you. Muir's embrace of bloodily destroying the country to save it gets a bit more naked every day now.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll float on your melody.
Ahh, a fine mixture of Muir's brainless repeating of talking points he doesn't understand, his brittle tough guy talk that underlines what a cowardly toady he is, and the projection where he declares that everyone opposed to his fascistic dreams a cancer, and his own cancerous designs the health of the nation.
God, he's awful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one white duck on your wall.
Nice to see that Muir's agent characters remain seditious chuckleheads willing to violate their oaths of office.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Uzkoks.
...
I see they've managed to turn the robot into a racist moron, as the new cast member starts figuring she's in a madhouse.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Julian Glover.
...
How can he have been doing this for so long and only have gotten worse at it? How?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because since you went away.
...
So Javier's bullshit tech and the howler monkey face.
God, I hate this strip. It's a failure on so many levels.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Henry Clay.
You know, it says something that Muir makes sure his fictional Aghan refugee is a cute blonde Christian.
Something horrible, to be clear.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kuroneko.
You know, it's been a while since Muir's done a movie parody. Somehow it makes sense that one would be trotted out for the latest reiteration of Skye's new loyalty to the hivemind.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because this city of blossom and blood.
Ahh, yes. The fictional experiences of Muir's fictional characters prove that everything he says is right.
So how many times has Skye had a realization that the left is evil now? In the Muirverse, you keep saying you're a real liberal even after you declare that the Democrats are an evil conspiracy of Satan and that people need traditional values.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because when the generals talk.
Muir doesn't understand the contradiction between his cast being simultaneously super-science warriors with technology their foes can't hope to match and yet somehow menaced by the governemtn.
...
Holy shit, Muir's writing a freaking Edisonade.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it gets weird.
There's always something pathetic when Muir's strawmen opponents act the way he insists they do and it is a grotesque thing that more resembles the behavior of the people he insists are the good guys.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he'll buy that for a dollar.
You know, it's almost a chicken and the egg question if right wingers like Muir depict the left as a conspiratorial amoral hivemind filled with degenerates because they need to project their own mindset onto the opposition, or if they've become what they are because they've been told that they face such a group and the cry of desperate measures breaks them down as moral actors. I suspect it's a combination of both with the starting points being different for different individuals. After all, it doesn't matter how it starts--how it ends is you're a fascist misogynistic white supremacist peddling stories about the evil sex maniac Demoncrats as you fap off to them because you've normalized a lot of horrific shit for yourself, while projecting your now badly-policed worst impulses onto your opponents.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's crazy.
...
I just love the 'The VACCINES ARE FAKE, AND THE SNAKE OIL IS REAL!' bit. Mind you, it's dangerous as hell, and may get Muir (or people listening to him) killed, but the craziness is just... kinda impressive.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because without a postcard.
...
...
Muir continues to demonstrate that he will applaud not merely the fascist takeover but scream that backstabbers were behind the entire collapse and it was evil foreign puppets who stopped the holy genocide of the non-whites.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because no one outpizzas the hut.
Ahh, yes. White trash misogynists HAVE to be the majority. Muir just knows they have to be, because everyone he talks to is one, and he can't have just constructed a toxic bubble for himself.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the pictures tell the story.
In a fine example of just how idiotic Muir's rundown is, New South Wale's former Premier Gladys Berejekilian is a member of the conservative Liberal Party of Australia and most assuredly not a communist. But then, in Muir's present state, anything but the evilest, most ineffective tactics on any subject are communist. For the only good state is a racist authoritarian hellhole where the favored group autocannibalizes the nation to maximize the mishandling of any crisis.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's a very welcoming country.
I'll say this, at least Muir's developed a slight awareness that his premise has disintegrated into a ridiculous mess.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Knight Boat, the crime-fighting boat.
Now, you might think Muir's painted himself into a corner with this storyline, but he's got a foolproof plan to get himself out of this jam. Surprise plot twists! Each more surprising than the last! The audience won't now what hit 'em!
He's done this time after time, and he thinks it works because his fans will applaud anything.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because panic in Detriot.
It's kind of funny, Muir insisting that the Taliban are evil while also insisting that the progressive state he loathes is untrue to the real America he dreams of, a religiously pure and regressive ethnostate.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Port of Shadows.
That Muir is so fond of this would make me suspicious in the first place, but they've accepted his promotion, and are mentioning it on the show, so... I'm guessing birds of a feather.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because blue eyes crying in the rain.
...
...
The inanity of it all hits you.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Black Betty had a baby, the damn thing's gone crazy.
You know, we see two of Muir's recurrent themes--that his cast is just awesome and likable, and that the Left are evil liars who are lying about things every time they say something Muir doesn't like. It's the sort of thinking that's fueled his self-exile from everything but the fever swamps of the Far Right of the Interweb.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because women's hockey.
Remember folks, the nation is only free is Muir can carry his penis substitute unhindered.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I name him Gamblor.
You know, despite the awful subtext to all this, I haven't gotten the chance to just wish for bears with power tools to devour the cast, so... let me have this.
Bears. With power tools.
