The Same Panel, Over And Over.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because little gnomes live in their homes.

The amount of 'not even trying' in this strip is something. Even the political gags are just a couple weak shoutouts meant to get a nod from the Peanut Gallery.

Your Softcore Sitcom From Hell.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sensational!

How does Sam keep her head at that awkward angle?

The Culture Of The Herrenvolk.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because then we'll close with the ethnic comedy of Dugan and Derschowitz

The pretense of clean, country-living being spoiled by the bad cheesecake from the vault being placed just below is so late DbD, in'nt it?

Angry Old Man Yells At Clouds.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because three wishes.

I guess it saves him a lot of work, just using that same last panel over and over again with different backgrounds.

I See Everyone Is Mutating Again.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Golgo 13.

Sometimes Muir's copy'n'paste "art" produces genuine horror in its grotesqueness. This is such a time.

He Thinks He Has Values.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Outer Heaven.

It's the hypocrisy that gets you. Muir wants to make terrible soft core porn, and then sneer at everyone else for not having the proper values.

The Sitcom From Hell Goes On.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because marmalade.

Moments like this show what makes the hivemind the hivemind. Every character in it knows the sinister deep state are serving the pedoelite and also sexism and racism aren't really problems anymore.

See? The Girl Knows Science! Isn't That Funny?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Cumbria.

...

As usual, whenever Muir tries to come off as cutting edge, he convinces you how behind the times he is.

So Much Racism, In So Many Varities.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because walking on imported air.

So, we not only have the horrible racism of Arabs being superstitious cowards who will flee from the Westerners' superior tech, we have one of Muir's imaginary Blacks sharing a laugh about how racism isn't a problem anymore.

Yeah. It's of a piece.

How Dare They Be A Different Kind Of Misogynistic Fundamentalist Than Him!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Skyhaven.

...Yeah, the irony would be bracing enough, when not mixed with the whole 'evil Muslim immigrants from Mexico' premise to make us bash our heads against the wall. 

And the Muslims talking like characters from a bad 1930s mock-Arabian production.

Those Swarms Of Arabs Coming From... Mexico. Sigh.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oh, Billy.

I remain baffled at Muir's obsession with this incoherent scenario of the Texas border being inundated with Arab immigrants. I can understand the basic desires that made it come into being, Muir wanting to mix his mythical war of civilizations with his general 'guard the borders' anti-immigrant bigotry, but I still don't get what he's using to fuel the noxious flames this time.

"We Sure Are Showing The Internal Traitors!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm holding out my hand.

Every defeat is just proof that your faction is better and more perfect than those dirty backstabbing traitors who have seized control to a fanatic.

The Bad Boyars Have Misled The Good Tsar.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because come on mutants. Let's dance the twist.

I'm reminded of the early days of Muir's admitting that Dubya had blown some calls. Which has lead to the present state of Muir more or less pretending he never really supported him.

She Dreamed She Was In A Hollywood Movie, And That She Was The Star Of That Movie...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Nomi Song.

It's the hypocrisy dripping off this fever dream of a strip that gets you. Sam having her daughters essentially work as strippers is just fun hijinks, not like the evil gays who are all child groomers, and if you don't see that, you're just a no fun killjoy. But the gays are all plotting to do evil things when they try to have equal rights, and Muir's just standing up for traditional values when he acts like a vicious bigot. Because everything Muir wants is just natural, just human, and everything other people wants is an assault against the natural order.

Astonishing, How Sam's Dreams Are Like Something An Aging Male Misogynist Would Think Up.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's Prime Time.

You know, there's something so revealing in how Xir's sexuality is such a strange quantum thing, sometimes merely an unattractive lesbian, other times implied to be trans, queer, or some form of nonbinary sexuality. Of course, that's the point--Xir is less a character and more a cipher on whom Muir can place everything he fears in gender roles. And because, under the obnoxious swagger, Muir's sexual politics are brittle, terrified and toxic, that covers a lot of ground.

The Good Fight Of Being A Corrupt, Incompetent Bigot.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because loo loo.

You know, Muir keeps pulling out the 'Sam sleeps on the job' trick--largely so he can have her have her awful, psychotic dream sequences--and, well, it just folds back into what we saw yesterday. Sam sleeping on the job is fine, because she's good folks, and it's just a harmless foible. Sam having a carwash where she and her daughters essentially strip in public--that's just good clean Murican fun. No, it's the people who support LGBTQ+ who are the perverts, it's the people who shelter immigrants who are wrong, and they are easily thwarted, because like most fascists Muir thinks he and his are omnicompetent wizards who would govern easily if they were in power.

Even as he details plans that could only fail.

The Alliance Of Papists, Immigrant Filth And The Moral Degenerates.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because did that really happen?

As we stare as Muir's politics start going to the actual Know-Nothing playbook, the question comes up--what the hell does Sam do as council chair aside be awful? Does Gunpowder County fulfill its federal and state mandates or are those ignored in the midst of all this 'freeman of the land' bullshit? Is Sam, for example, disallowing food stamps and welfare because 'gubmint bad' and 'good folk don't need handouts'?

Because as I've noted before, this county should be going broke from the lawsuits all her bullshit should be unleashing, and if they aren't doing what the state and federal governments tell them to... well, that's just more fuel to the fire.

Yes, Your Opponents Are The Ones Like Religious Fanatics, You Say While Declaring Violent Idiots Martyrs...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lyle can turn into a dragon, but only in cutscenes.

A reminder that the man saying this is/was a federal agent.

A Racist Facsimile Of A Joke.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because blabbermouse.

It's clear Muir wanted to make a witch doctor joke, but in his present incoherent state can't actually get the setup right.

They Won't Catch Muir With Their Wily Plots!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Buffalo Ranch.

The fascinating thing is how firmly Muir believes this despite how blatantly incoherent and nonsensical it is. This is a conspiracy theory that falls apart under even the most casual examination--for Muir and his ilk, this is not a thing that is explained but it is uttered breathlessly, believed in because in the world of gutchecks they've chosen to live in, anything that supposes the absolute depravity of their foes and their own utter brilliance and will for ignoring facts and reason must be true.

Ahh, The Joys Of Telling Yourself That You're Winning, Yes, You Is.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because everyone was acting normal, so I tried to be nonchalant.

As we stare at Muir's usual fascist drivel in particularly wretched verse form, it's that first panel that fascinates me, because it sums up Muir--the idolization of awful white guys, and mistaking self-destructive idiocy as genius because it matches his fascistic worldview.

The Proof Of Their Fanaticism Is Their Objection To Being Killed.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Powers of Darkness.

Muir's inability to recognize that how contradictory his declarations are, and how they mark him as a morally blind hypocrite projecting his own authoritarianism and fanaticism are... well, par for the course these days.

Muir Knows He's Without Sin And Casts That Stone!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because they were born in lotus land.

Ah, remember when Muir used to give us week after week of Islamophobia? He generally doesn't go to that well anymore, but every now and then he reminds us all that he's still hates them just as much as he does the various Latino immigrants he imagines, or the sinister pedo-elite.

In Conclusion, Dictators Are Clearly Superior, Because They Own More Precious Metals.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Samurai Trilogy.

...

Moving from the fact that Muir, like most cranks, is convinced that an economy needs precious metals to work, I'm just wondering what the hell Muir imagines is going on in Ukraine, since he clearly sees Putin and Xi having some hold on the man who's, you know, played a big part in arming Ukraine.

"I Mean, We're Witless Foils Who Only Exist To Make The Idiot Protagonists Look Smart."

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Elevator Action (1983).

It's bleakly fascinating how Muir's mythology on the vaccines is such a jumble. The MRNA vaccines have the side-effects of some of the non-MRNA vaccines, only blown up from rare to common, and they also give you the long Covid side-effects, and also, Covid is not really the big problem, it's the vaccine. This is where Muir has ended up--in an utterly garbage space intellectually where you believe incoherent gibberish and think that doing so demonstrates how superior a mind you are. If it's impossible to understand for those of us outside the toxic far Right bubble, well, it's also impossible to understand in it. They just know that every bad thing they believe has to be true all at once and at the same time.

"Also, People Are Wising Up To How We Faked The Moon Landing!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bubble Bobble.

We've seen it too often to count--Muir has his straw opponents confirm every ridiculous charge. The Covid vaccine? Of course it's all actually killing people! The election in Arizona? Clearly fraud! Ukraine? Obviously just a money laundering operation! 

That reality keeps disagreeing with Muir is another sign that it is in the pay of subversives.

Yup, The Currency Is Worthless And Tax Evasion Is Cool!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Flicky.

It's kind of fascinating that the bitter old men of the Right have been preaching the same gospel for fifty years now, and yet, the nation continues, despite their constant declaration that the collapse is coming any day now.

Is There Actually A Point To Any Of This?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Murder Legendre.

That is one epically disjointed parody that seems to exist largely so Muir can heap abuse on all the people he imagines have betrayed him.

With that said, it remains bleakly fascinating how all it takes to get Muir to turn on the cops is the idea that he and his could get shot instead of the blahs, especially for things they were actually doing. (A reminder that Babbitt was breaking down a window while carrying a backpack and with numerous armed people behind her, which makes her death about the farthest thing from 'in cold blood' you could imagine.)

When The People Who Tell You They're 'Not Racist, But...' Get A Philosophy About It.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oolong.

...

The fascinating thing is that Muir seems to think this is something new he's saying instead of something he's pretty much been saying since he started writing this strip.

Buy Gold Bye!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Utes.

Remember when there was a touch of irony about calling the Compound the Compound?

See, This Isn't Racist Because They're Friends...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Eton Mess.

Remember when Jan had at least a crudely drawn personality? Boy that was... better than this.

Also, she was clearly white for the first year or so, but that's another subject involving Muir's constant mutilating of characters to achieve political points.

"I Don't Know Whether He's A Heretic Or Not!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because as the wind blows.

Muir remains very fond of a movie made by two trans women, even as he clearly mutilates the meaning.

We're Through The Looking Glass People.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he tasks me, and I will have him.

The all-powerful Democratic conspiracy that somehow can't keep the House, or win a few more Senate races. But then to Muir if democracy means he can lose, it's clearly cheating.

His Grasp Of Foreign Policy Rivals That Of Domestic.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because non stop rock and roll.

Sometimes the utter insanity of the world Muir's constructed out of lunatic internet takes on actual events overwhelms the underlying fascism that holds the whole thing up.

The Shiny Bald Head Of The Husband Is A Thing Of Nightmares.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Samson versus the Vampire Women.

Terrible art. A stale punchline that Muir has beaten to death. But you know what? It's not another horrifying car wash strip, so it's a relief there.

When Manbabies Don't Understand Sexy.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because IPA.

...

Those failed face drawings are the things of nightmares.

Muir Knows What Would Improve This. Homophobia AND Slander!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Volga.

...

It's been one trip to a new low this week. I'm dreading tomorrow.

I'm Pretty Sure This Is Illegal.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because feathers.

...

Remember they're for traditional values.

Another Failed Attempt At Sexy.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm on the rock, and then I take stock.

...

There's something so sad about the deep scuzziness of this strip. Muir's made, after decades of effort, a comic that would be embodied in the world by the vomit-encrusted shag carpeting of a very sleazy discotheque.

A Thing That Has Happened.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the toll of the bell.

...

You know, the funny part is when you consider what's happened here, the goofy artificiality of it all really stands out. The cast were doing their scantily-clad all girl's carwash for a fascist charity, and their literal minded android followed their instructions too literally. 

As happens occasionally.

A Fun Mother-Daughter Activity.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Beefeater.

...

Let's wait for him to start ranting about pedos and moral degeneracy again. Oooh, and claiming that evil gays are grooming kids.

Like A Rat Pack Film On Peyote And Meth.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Unknown Worlds.

...

...

You know the sheer amount and variety of awful here is impressive, in a horrible sort of way.

Muir Praises The Gun And Bashes The Vaccine, Because Of Course He Does.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because love is the drug that I'm looking for.

I'll pass by the same old topics--save to note that Muir has shown more panic about the vaccine than he ever did about Covid--to note that we have now had these two morons yak at each other for an entire week of strips.

And they've been terrible strips the entire time.

Truly, They Are A Persecuted Minority Living In A Totalitarian State.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Roxy Music.

The fascinating thing about Muir's community of brittle fascists with their blend of arrogant swagger and stark terror of outsiders is what an accurate depiction of a right wing militia he has made in this, their mentality, if nothing else.

But then, he's got something of an insider's view. Arguably aided by never actually joining one and thus having to deal with internal quarrels and the fact in the real world, your awesome weapons just aren't that great.

One Does Not Read It, One Simply Has It.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the power move.

Ahh, those pocket Declarations and Constitutions. Seldom read, never comprehended, but merely held as a sign of what a true patriot you are. But how can you not be right when 70% of the country is behind you, and don't ask where the numbers come from, they are simply transcendent truth.

Ahh, Yes. (((Globalists))).

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one track lover.

The fascinating thing about Muir isn't how antisemitic he is--it's how he doesn't realize it. And it's not just the bits like this, where Muir tosses out antisemitic dogwhistles that he's learned secondhand. It's in his treatment of Jewish Democrats and George Soros, where he echoes the centuries of such stereotypes. All while also insisting they're Nazis.

Real Patriotic Militaries COUP Their Governments When The Left Gets In!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Metropolitan Division.

It's kind of fascinating, watching Muir trash institutions he used to claim to respect because machismo is more important than doing the job.

Because to the fascist, the military is a prop for embellishing their sad little fantasies.

Nothing Turns Girls On Like Sovereign Citizen Word Salad.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because open box.

...

...

These two fail at being real people even more profoundly than their previous failures.

"The Doll's Trying To Kill Me And The Toaster's Been Laughing At Me!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fiddle-di-dee.

...

There's an impressive range of crazy here, all shoring up Muir's constant insistence that any loss has to be a conspiracy, and that the Redneck Elite shall soon show us all. He's strangely predictable about these things.

Real Men Never Show Emotion To Their Pretend Daughters.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because on a spiderweb.

It's a scene we've all seen before, done extra-creepy because Muir keeps writing her like she's seven while insisting she's 18.

Constant Acts Of Petty Spite Against Imaginary Versions Of Real People.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because after the fall.

As we get the latest trumpet blast of Muir declaring Biden a pedo, it's noteworthy that Muir seems to vaguely understand that the various terms he tosses about to describe Democrats have lost all meaning in his hands. Of course, he convinces himself that this is their fault, not his for not understanding things and simply tossing words about as self-designated slurs.

He Seems Tired.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because keep on skankin'.

There's a general sense of exhaustion in these two strips, even in the creepy, dull sex comedy one. And why not? Muir has spent the last decade drifting off into loopier and loopier spheres, convincing himself that he was witnessing epic battles that weren't happening and turning incompetent fascists into heroes in his own mind. Believing all this takes a certain amount of effort, and after ten years of it, you can see things starting to give way, even if Muir completely lacks the self-awareness to admit he might be wrong. There's a sort of tacit admission in there that Trump was a weak vessel, even if Muir has to convince himself that he was awesome and good. I've no doubt he'll go on speaking the words, but the burnout is becoming obvious. This is what happens when the Messiah not only fails, but keeps failing. The true believers can never give up believing, but it's a hollow belief that knows it's lying to itself.

Everything Is Always A Conspiracy, Always.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the flesh failures.

It must be exhausting, on some level, seeing the all-powerful yet also degenerate conspiracy behind every rock and bush, always messing with you, always theoretically beatable, if you muster enough of that superior will, yet somehow never actually getting beaten. The root of it is that Muir just can't accept that maybe he's wrong, that maybe the things he likes aren't popular, that maybe he needs to examine himself and change. Because that would mean that would mean admitting that maybe he's the baddie.

Goldbuggery And Conspiracy Theories. The Auld Alliance.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because violins.

The fascinating thing is that Muir will doubtless insist there was massive fraud even if the Republicans take both chambers, because he's convinced that the Democrats shouldn't win anywhere.

And yet are also half the country.

Muir's nutty theories don't have a lot of consistency.

If The Right Loses, The Other Side Must Be Cheating!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Belgian Cocoa Dusted Truffles.

There is something deeply pathetic in Muir's fascist tough guy talk, a man complaining that a playing field that is already tilted in his side's favor doesn't give them automatic victory every time, no matter what they do. Because Muir doesn't want to take responsibility for failure, and he doesn't want to admit his bullshit has highly negative consequences.

Children's Ice Cream, Mandrake.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Buster Brown.

I find it amusing that Muir seems vaguely aware that the places he's had his latest sex object come from don't exactly prove his misogynistic fascist talking points. Honestly, I find running to this bunch to escape the Taliban close to a horizontal move. If she's better off, it's because she's one of the good ones in their playbook.

How Can The People We Regularly Threaten Find Us Threatening? How?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tiger Balm Plus!

The man who regularly insists his opponents are a satanic cabal of pedophiles is offended when people consider him a bigoted, violent fascist based on things he's said.

Youse Da Dummies Risking Yer Health! Not Me! NOT ME!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm on a plain.

Muir imagines his opponents are a bunch of ignorant, arrogant assholes who are risking their health and causing disruption in society. Because he's that vested in his own unwarranted feelings of superiority. It's what fuels the projection.

Always Be Projecting.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oh, the hammock district.

So, the argument runs, that as they are not going to conveniently lose all the time, Democrats must be shot. This is the only way to prevent a violent dictatorship.

Muir has a special definition of democracy.

Yousa Baby, Part Infinity.

 It's the Day Day of Days! Because clownfish.

The endless assertion, declared over, and over, and over. 

Stay Classy, Muir.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the tide is high.

A double-dose of awfulness, first in the gaslighting mixed with crazy that has become Muir's standard pose on the issues of the day, and then of course stating that the victim of a right wing attack has to be... you know what I mean?

Because that's how the fash roll. They just want eternal validation that their cruelty and their bigotry is righteous, and their supposed love of their nation is just a love of themselves, so they'll cheerfully backstab their country if the other side has shiny jackboots.

He Knows What Girls Want.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hidden Fortress.

...

There are so many issues here, that they themselves have issues.

Real Muricans Love Guns And Boats!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mind the gap.

...

The Shoutouts to Online Homies have grown ever more incestuous and bizarre as the years roll on.

The Samurai Mom Drawings Get Creepier Every Year.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Boston Brown Bread.

El Dorado Dad continues to be a relentlessly terrible addition to the cast who has assisted in the ongoing dissolution of what little basing in reality the strip had from his introduction.

A Joke Muir Wishes Had Occurred To Him Two Years Ago.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sardine.

Leaving the completely disposable second strip to the side, the fascinating thing is that even Muir, from the delusional stance that believes in the Sovereign Citizen universe he's now set up for himself, realizes on some level that the absurd amount of macguffins and plot coupons he's granted to the cast make it impossible to accept them as put-upon underdogs.

Or for that matter, anything approximating a real person.

How Dare They Force People To Get Vaccines And Be Angry At Attempted Coups.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because kablooey.

As we once again witness mirrored strips, with this time the underlying theme being Muir's general belief of his own absolute license and the bitter offense he feels that others imagine they have rights and agency, let's consider the extent to which Muir's age up of the twins has left him muddled. By all rights, they should be considering colleges or just getting jobs on the compound. But instead, they're still talking about being homeschooled. 

Because Muir knows in his heart of hearts that they aren't actually eighteen years old.

All The Heretical And Unworthy Shall Be Scourged.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Catfish Blues.

The interesting fact about both these strips is they show how completely Muir can start to view as a sinister enemy of the people who was never on his side. The FBI, Cheney... sinister lefties the lot of them.

A Creepier Version Of Calling It Vera.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because loop-di-loop.

Actually, Silence Dogood was the persona of an older widow the young Franklin created to get his work published and poke fun at life in Colonial Boston. But then as has long been established Muir doesn't know his history and imagines the Founding Fathers as constant gun-humpers angry at the gubmint.

Captain Mitty Killed A Man.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because gloop.

And of course, Muir keeps insisting that only evil pedophiles would want to come after his racist militia, and that they would do so for evil pedophile reasons.

Victory Is Easy When Your Opponents Are Idiot Degenerates!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mars Bars.

The most striking thing about Muir's action plots is how their climaxes fail at every level. The writing is incoherent, the drawings are stiff and lifeless, and the stakes are nonexistent. This strip is a cargo cult effort--it has done the thing, it insists, and so must be praised. And of course, the fanbase will praise it, because they are from the same insular world as Muir.

The Sinister Pedoelite!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Morrowind.

...

Ah, Muir unironically claiming his enemies are pedophiles again, and not realizing how ridiculous he looks.

So... a normal Saturday now.

Tonight, On That Terrible Drawing Theatre.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Doobie Brothers.

Muir's weird fascination with Schwarzenegger and the Terminator movies have never helped this strip in the slightest.

Tonight On Immobile Theatre.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Roister Doister.

 It says something that Muir manages to write an action sequence that is hackneyed and obvious, and then draw it so it is inert and impenetrable.  You get two different sorts of awful in a strip.

Almost an accomplishment.

Tonight On Terrible Action Movie Theatre.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because blooper.

The worst part about Muir's efforts at high-powered action is he's even worse at it than he is at political commentary and comedy.

Clearly No True Redneck Would Be A Leering Sociopath!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm always touched by your presence dear.

So, apparently those two rednecks were fake redneck  and actual members of the Evil Conspiracy of Evil. 

You know, I have an interesting theory here. Muir knows the old bit where a couple of rednecks act like creeps to a young woman in a bar. He understands that there is something wrongbad about that. But he can't understand how the values he supports might lead to that, and so he can only imagine that they are really the values of his evil untermenschen foes who are after his women.

Ah, More Of This. Yep.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because where's your old man now?

...

I'm gonna focus on the fact that these two rednecks have apparently been in the same pose, drinking their beers in the exact same way for the entirety of the last two strips. Because that is a sane kind of awful.

The Important Thing To Remember Is Boobies.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because out in the streets.

...

...

We've moved on from 'incoherent fever dream' to 'horny incoherent fever dream' I see.

I've Had Fever Dreams With More Consistency.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because chocolate truffles.

There are moments, every now and then, when Muir seems to dimly realize that this strip has become an incoherent mess.

It tends to result in more incoherence, because he can't figure out just how badly he's broken his fictional universe.

Just An Ordinary Racist Militia. With Robots.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because islands in the stream.

The fascinating thing is that Muir frames the response as essentially a cult doctrine and doesn't even realize he's doing it.

He's Running Late For His Meetings With The Elders Of Zion.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that's numberwang.

Always amazing how the fash's "real true truth" is invariably the same old racist, antisemitic canards no matter how much they have to mutilate reality to do it.

Well, always something.

Why That Could Pay For Deporting Immigrants!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because boom boom boom.

...

It's astonishing that it's in the face of an objectively moral war waged against an aggressor Muir has gone from his former jingoism to chastising American policy for supporting the people defending their nation.

But fash gonna fash, I guess.

Cruelty And Failure Are The Signs Of Real Strength!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my house in Budapest.

It's not just that Muir has become the fervent flag-waver of a foreign fascist regime that's invaded a sovereign nation. It's that he's done it as they fail badly, and seems to take their cowardly threats to unleash nukes as a sign of strength instead of craven failure.

But then, as the lunatic misogynistic rant reveals, this is about doctrine. Russia fits Muir's pathetic definition of manliness, and thus has to be secretly winning. The great reversal is happening any day now. It has to be. And so as they stand on the verge of another loss, to be followed by a winter of collapse, and then more losing, he is certain that he is seeing greatness.

Because otherwise, everything he believes is wrong, and he knows that can't be the case.

Excuse Me?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because time was driftin', this rock it had to roll.

...

So again, the author avatar expounds his sexual virtue regarding the daughters the author has regularly served up to be ogled while babbling about the Online Right's nightmare version of Biden.

Yep. It's a look.

The Self-Righteous Airing Of Petty Grievances.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because parallel lines.

As usual, Muir, thinking he is engaging in witty satire demonstrates what a hateful, hypocritical twisted thing he is, and his ability to absorb so many contradictory strains of right wing nuttiness that the result makes no real sense, while somehow managing to be more awful than the awfulness that inspired it.

Building To Something Horrible.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Trojan Marching Band.

You just know this whole situation is building to some hideous Rat Pack on crystal meth punchine that will have some bizarre attempt at social commentary. But it hasn't quite gotten there yet, and so we are watching the awful build.

This Is A Logical Development.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because John Barleycorn must die.

At this point, the entire story development of this plotline is what gets the most female cast members naked.

A Model Of Incoherence.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because painted rain.

So the joke of course is the sinister elite are all pedos, not like Muir and his audience, who are normal people, who like normal things.

...

The boyfriend continues to look like a freaking middle-aged serial killer.

...Ugh.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because are you with the bride, or the failure?

...This is crossing the line from 'bad' to 'actively creepy'.

So Awful, In So Many Ways.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because come on Martians.

...

...

You know, as the most blatant awful in that strip is pretty self-demonstrating, I'm going to focus on the fact that the drawing of Serial Killer Beau is obviously the same one from yesterday copy-pasted.

And Back To The Terrible Sex Comedy.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sons of pioneers.

As we consider all that awfulness, I still can't help but wonder why Muir keeps drawing the boyfriend as a 40-year old serial killer.

The Interweb Thing Continues.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sam Sham.

As we dive deeper into the personal affairs of someone we don't know, I should mention that the site he mentions is the Born-Again's own little version of "Go Fund Me", and this appears to be a rather nasty custody fight, in yet another example of the online Right's exceedingly insular world.

Some Interweb Thing.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dagionad.

Sometimes, this strip forcibly reminds you it lives in an incestuously small community of right wing commentators all drinking the same Kool-Aid.

Yup. That's A Strip.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because kiwi.

Every possible cliche about a teenage daughter having a boyfriend.

Made somehow worse, and then doused in crazy.

For Clearly, His Vague Sense Of Grievance And Entitlement Is A Thing That Shakes Nations.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it didn't look good.

Fascism deprived of any pretense of grandeur. The belief that you are horribly set upon by not always getting your own way, but that you will inevitably triumph for you are strong by virtue of being of the purer race, and your foes are weak and decadent. 

And that you will be immortalized, for you are strong and righteous.

Badly-Done Comics For Badly-Done Politics.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because extra toasty.

It's hard to figure what is worse... the awful drawings, static poses, or the nasty libertarianism as a cloak for fascism, where the government is being tyrannical if it doesn't let angry white guys beat and oppress whoever they want. It's all a pretty putrid blend.

The Weirdest Combination Of Creepy Softcore And Fascist Posturing Yet.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spectres.

There's just so much insecurity masquerading as strength in this strip. 

On all sorts of subjects.

All The Vozhd Wants Is Living Space For His People!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because truffles.

And finally, after months, Muir mentions the Russo-Ukrainian War and from the way he talks about it, you'd think Russia was winning, instead of having its ass kicked and going towards idiotic recruitment methods to try and create a new army to fight the losing war. But then, Muir lays it out here--like all fascists he thinks being a crude bully proves you're brave and strong, a real man, and others are weak, effeminate, inferior. The idea that he is a blustery, brittle coward watching a blustery, brittle, cowardly nation break and fail is anathema.

This Is What Happens When Stupid Ignorant People Think They're Clever And Knowledgeable.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cities on fire with rock and roll.

...

Muir's combination of not knowing what the hell he's talking about but thinking he does sure is a thing, in'it?

Cowards Die Many Deaths.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because never seen it before, who cares.

Remember when Muir tried to make the racist thug who ran over counterprotestors and killed a woman the victim? And here he is, crying crocodile tears about some incident that either didn't happen, or didn't happen the way he said it did.

Because he's fascist filth.

That Is How Muir Chooses To Understand It, And Don't You Dare Confuse Him With The Facts!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cloudburst.

There are two things of interest in this strip. The first is Muir's fantasy version of what happened to the refugees shipped to Martha's Vineyard, where he again assumes that obviously liberals must be as racist as him, and gets his facts wrong to try and make it match that picture. (Those refugees are now in Cape Cod, by the way.) He seizes on misconstrued details, misunderstands things and in essence makes himself even more stupid and wretched all to keep himself from acknowledging the pathetic thing he is.

The other is that Gov. Abbot has joined the heretics, because the circle can only grow smaller.

"Also, They're All Imaginary!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in the deep midwinter.

Muir's usual attempt at 'youse the real racists' stumbles not only on the ridiculous descriptions, but on the fact that all these "characters" act as obvious mouthpieces for the views of an aging white guy. That said views are racist as hell, and couched in the superiority of an obnoxious "redneck" culture just makes it more obvious.

And then there was all that ranting about immigrants the last few days.

Let's Pretend That Right Wing Trolling Wasn't A Hideous Backfire.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because not fitted to make converts.

The assumption behind the endless right-wing jokes that eventually produced migrants and refugees being shipped to Martha's Vineyards is that everyone is as racist as they are, and the left only pretends not to be racist. That kindness and decency are only fake virtues, and the right lacks them because they are brave and strong.

But they aren't brave and strong, but cowardly and weak. And all their pathetic stunts wind up showing it in the end, even as many innocent people get hurt.

Hey, All He's Done Is Violate His Oath Of Office! No Biggy!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because enter the florpus.

It's kind of amazing how Muir has this entire county go along with this ill-conceived wannabe rebellion and nobody is noting how illegal it is.

Those Inferiors! Thinking They Can Fight Back!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she came on the southern wind.

Remember, the FBI are vile oppressors because they dare suggest the racist militia compound has to submit to the law. And they are cowards and weaklings because they are not of the body, for all know that being a rabid right-winger makes one superior, and those who suggest that this sneering hostility, this arrogant swagger are the signs of a brittle coward, they must be wrong. And to be wrong is to be weak. It is self-demonstrating.

Haven't heard about the war in the Ukraine for a while. I wonder if Muir is embarrassed about how quickly he jumped onboard the Vozhd's leaking ship.

Just Remember The Law Of Posse Comitatus!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because where the buffalo roam.

...

Muir really thinks his characters are the patriots, and not a bunch of lawless, racist thugs.

Another Meaningless Victory Against An Impotent Foe.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because pebbles.

So, does Muir ever think that having his bad guys be this stupid makes his cast's victories look kinda pathetic?

And Then They Invoked Code Duello.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flambe.

So, the law of the lesser magistrate...

Okay, this is a thing. In Calvinist theology. During the early years of the Reformation, where members of the Reformed Church were trying to explain how they had a right to avoid getting arrested by kings, emperors and the like for being Calvinists. It is not an actual legal doctrine that gives random sheriffs the right to arrest federal agents because. Of course, these sorts of arguments started getting very popular in some circles during the late 1960s for obvious reasons, producing the Posse Comitatus movement and similar sovereign citizen groups. The point of such arguments is to produce folk magic disguised as law while insisting this nonsense is a return to tradition, instead of the ridiculous farce that it is.

Muir's Eternal Fantasy Of Powerful Yet Impotent Foes.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because world without logos.

The strange and contradictory nature of Muir's evil government goons is on display here, strangely preoccupied with a little militia in a hick county at the very highest levels of government, and yet also completely unable to do anything about them. After all, despite the magical pretend tech and ridiculous connections that exists to protect his cast, in the end, they don't do much, just squat in their imaginary corner of imaginary Texas and beat up racist caricatures and straw leftists. Sam's little run as county chair has been involved a broader circle than their usual antics, but it's still in the end, small potatoes. And yet the cast are an object of fascination to the highest levels of government, instead of what they should be... the opponent of some regional head who would likely squash the arrogant pricks without much fuss. 

But then, that's another contradictory facet of the Derp State... they recognize the cast as true Muricans, following the true law. Because Muir can't imagine that they'd be viewed as bunch of dimwitted rascist, seditious fascists following nonsense. That's not a hero. That's the kind of vicious bumbler he imagines as a villain. 

Because he has to. He needs opponents worse than his heroes, and well, that's tough.

Not How Any Of This Works.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because rage, rage against the dying of the light.

...

The amazing part is that Muir really thinks this is something a county can do.

Ahh, The Terrifying Howler Monkey Woman Face Returns.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because black walnut bitters.

...

You know, this strip's sexism and bad blocking speak for themselves, so I'm going to mention that I'm starting to suspect we're being set up for another 'It was all a dream' caused by Muir writing himself into a corner, as has happened before.

But we'll see. Reality in this strip is such a strangely fluid thing, after all.

Surely This Can Only Lead To Triumph.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because this man was my bombers, my dexies, my high.

Right, I've already dealt with the fact that Mr. 'Constitutional Republic' is proposing a violation of the constitution here, so let's just deal with the bizarre reappearance of Muir's Islamophobia, after years in hiding, all for a weird little attempt at a gag.

Bet Muir Thinks It Only Makes Sense To Fight Them With Bullets Instead Of Music And Love.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because scissors.

The one thing that stands out in this strip--other than Muir demonstrating once again that he doesn't get a bit of pop culture--is Sam's self-satisfied boasting over victories that were the result of her being a fictional character whose creator never allows her to face a real challenge.

So, She's Still Drinking That Same Cup Of Coffee, Eh?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Islandia.

...

It's sort of grimly amazing that the rest of the county board are letting this woman stay chairwoman in between the constant rants about the lizard people.

But then, this is a world where she has killer robots. Sanity is dead in this fictional universe.

He Also Owned Slaves, And Slaughtered Natives. Though To The Good, He Was Pro-Vaccination.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the sunshine of your love.

...

Okay, so is the problem of the sinister illegitimate government that it has substituted the will of the people with the will of a sinister corporation, or is it that it is a decadent democracy enslaved to the will of the people?

I jest of course. As usual, the point with a fascist is playing heads he wins, tails you lose.

Never Forget 1871!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because trainwreck.

Wow. Muir's really gone into the weeds here. This is almost nakedly sovereign citizen woo at this point.

And of course, how the damn members of that county council have left her in charge when she is an incompetent fascist nutbag who is probably costing them millions to play pretend insurrection is... well, typical DbD.

Muir's Worst "I'm Not A Racist" Yet.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sao Paulo.

...

The amazing thing isn't just how racist it is, it's how readily obvious it is that Muir doesn't even actually believe it, even though he doubtless imagines he does, but just has convinced himself that this is a valid demonstration that he isn't racist.

Ahh. 'Great Replacement' Babble. Of Course.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Sea Beast.

The fascinating bit here is the feeling that clearly it is the Left's fault that Sam has to come up with a way to explain how righteous her racism is to her son.

The Magitech Gets More And More Awful.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the white hart.

The amusing bit is how self-refuting this particular projection of his own projection goes. He's just using the irrational hatred of the Left to... keep brown people away, because mumble, mumble, nothing racist here.

Youse Nazis, And Also, 'Lectric Cars Is Stupid.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spin class.

...

The fascinating bit is not only do the two halves of the strip not even really connect, but the only common thread they have is Muir's projection, arrogance, and ignorance. It's just monumentally poor work here.

The Cast Wins Another Meaningless Victory Against A Foe Written To Lose.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Notre Dame.

Muir's new Laughing Woman Face is a mild improvement over the last one, but still looks grotesque and inhuman.

See? All The Genocide The Cast Does Is Self-Defense.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because East vs. West.

Muir complains about dehumanization in a series of strips where he depicts Joe Biden as a literal puppet and an empty shirt. And insists he's facing genocide, because people aren't letting him commit genocide. 

Also the hatred of Maoism is kind of funny from a man who wants the cities to be crushed to the good rural folk can be restored to their proper place.

Yes, He's The Puppet!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because along came Bronson.

Muir really needs to believe he's the loyal patriot fighting against wicked servants of foreign powers because, well, it's so obvious to everyone outside the bubble he isn't.

And Then Jill Biden Would Cry!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hootenanny.

The funny thing is that Muir's anal little argument--which ignores that a thing can be more than one thing at the same time, I know, I know, heresy--pretty much proves that point, since it is a fascist trying to rules lawyer away the nation's democratic tradition at the conceptual level in preparation of getting rid of it in practice.

Badly, of course.

Apparently Muir Has Never Seen Casablanca.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oolong.

The thing is, it really sort of is that simple... Muir's cast are a bunch of cutrate supervillains, and them losing would be a good thing. But of course, Muir imagines himself as the noble protector of righteousness based on the idea that he has to be the good guy, he just has to be.

For Muir, The Rest Of The World Just Exists In The Abstract.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because limoncello.

You know, leaving aside the latest round of 'the Democrats the Secret Society of Supervillains', it's always fascinating how Muir depicts Argentina, a nation with a highly-troubled political history, as a serene safe haven.

Everything That Disagrees With Muir Is Communism, And Also, The Fringe On The Flag.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because four doors at the Four Winds Bar.

The number of things that Muir defines as communism has been growing exponentially over the years, as is the craziness of his  woo. As I've noted, he's pretty much in the 'Sovereign Citizen' weeds now.

And to make it absolutely clear, from the actual Constitution...

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

That's kind of hard to get around, so he's just going to pretend it doesn't exist.

You Da Fascists!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Doobie Brothers.

Muir really isn't keeping up with stand-up comedy, is he?

Remember, All The Enemies Are Actually The Same.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ball University.

...

...

Muir really wants the charge of having a huge horde of enemies while having the security of only facing pathetic inferiors.

Today On 'License To Ogle'...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Venus Plus X.

Remember, the sole purpose of any female cast member in this strip who isn't a pretend-left strawman is to be treated as a fantasy object by the author. They don't have any real storylines as such, or personalities. Just bad imitations of them.

He Remembers His Awful Treacherous Federal Agents.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because come as the sea.

You know, it wasn't really a surprise when the oath-violating federal agents showed up as inside sources for the cast during the Obama years. What was a surprise was how they stuck around in the Trump years as Muir moved further and further into the weird sovereign citizen fringe he lives in now...

She's Only Working To Protect The Rights Of White People!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because fiddle-di-dee.

And he thinks the other side is the fascists. Because they don't understand his natural superiority and right to do whatever he wants.

The Important Part Is That Democrats Ba'!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the good ship Ragamuffin.

...

It's kind of fascinating how Muir seems to realize that he's contradicting himself about halfway through, but just plows ahead.

A Strip That Happened.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it could have been any of us. We drew lots.

It says something that Sam's waking up from the dream seems as surreal as the entire dream sequence, especially as the conversation that happens is all but impossible to follow, with Sam and Skye's role in it swapping several times.

But once again, Muir is shit at blocking. He's been doing this for nearly two decades, and only gotten worse at basic skills.

Those Silly Liberals, Saying My Calls For A Reactionary Ethnostate Resemble Nazism!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a hazy shade of winter.

...

I mean, sure she's associated with a racist paramilitary group, and was previously throwing antisemitic canards about George Soros, but other than that... and the whole secessionist movement, and a whole bunch of other things, how does she resemble a Nazi? How?

"Ever Really Considered What 'Posse Comitatus' Means, Sis?"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

It's kinda fascinating watching Muir head ever further into the sovereign citizen weeds of 'law as folk magic'. 

Remember, We Are Making Them Do This, And Therefore, It Is Our Fault.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because dual-immersion.

...

Well, we've had the latest bit of projection. Now, let's see how long it takes Muir to give us another serving of projection of his own projection.

Yep, Just Talking About The Polluted Filth Who've Taken Jewish Gold. Like Normal People Do.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because long lost.

...

...

It's kind of numbing that he doesn't see the implications of this, but then, he's had decades of training not to see the implications of this.

The Important Thing Is To Make Yourself Sovereign.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because elaborate.

...

It's kind of amazing how that entire strip is dominated by definitions of words and understandings of concepts that are simply wrong. Not "Muir has a twisted understanding of the truth" wrong. "Muir is operating from principles that are entirely erroneous" wrong. He's moved further and further into the crazy fringe where reality is what you make of it.

Except of course, it isn't, which is where the trouble starts.

Standing Against The Sinister Forces Of {{{Globalist Plutocracy}}}!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because into the sun.

You know, as we absorb this display of egotism and antisemitism, let's remember that Sam has broken so many laws as county chairwoman her opponent should simply be able to point to how the county is facing so many fines and penalties that they'll need to get her out of there just to keep afloat.

This Is Totally What's Happening!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because one more cup of coffee for the road.

It says something that Muir's ongoing dreams of civil war read just like the world he imagines in his strip, where the right holds all the advantages and beats the inferior left without breaking a sweat.

Tonight, On Tortured Analogy Theatre!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because neither of us sees his kingdom, so no stranger can intrude.

The fascinating thing about Muir's little parable is how naked it is at the bottom of it. Muir and his fellow fash are only being violent because they're being forced to, by our bigoted refusal to not let them do whatever they want. They're the victims here. It's a message very much for internal consumption only. As is the follow-up -- sure, there might be a little hardship, but their enemies will fold like the weaklings they are, and they shall triumph by the might of the volk who will be emboldened by each victory!

We are seeing quite a few fascists trying that belief out in the real world. It isn't working.

The Secessionist Greatest Hits Medley.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he'll show you how to pick and choose, and how to throw the blade.

Ahh, yes, the old traitors' definition of States' Rights, which are an ironclad border that are being violated whenever a state can't be bigoted and awful, but are to be swept aside when a state is being prevented from exercising its bigotry beyond its borders. It failed then and it will likely fail now for the same reason... it's backed by people who think themselves brave, strong and righteous when they cowardly, weak and wicked, and they imagine that their foes are something they may casually brush aside.

The Divine Right To Bigotry.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because your father is an outlaw, and a wanderer by trade.

...

It's kind of fascinating to watch the last shreds of support Muir had for the free market perish as he evolves into an ever more naked fascism.

That Is Totally How The Law Works!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oolong.

So, Sam just morphed into her lounge singer outfit, apparently?

The strip is getting lazier as it gets crazier.

Communists Do Whatever Inferior Evil Things They Have To Do So They May Be Hated.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because world without end.

I'm really wondering which group Muir sees as the Confederacy here, especially considering his rather confused views on the Civil War.

I Need A Bath, And I Just Took One.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'd like to meet his tailor.

It's not quite as 'there are bodies in the crawlspace' as the previous strip, but this is a very unpleasant strip in its bones.

He Thinks He's Witty.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because astronomy.

...

So, aside from that single panel horror, he's probably referencing the election of 1876 theory that sovereign citizens are fond of.

Yep, we're in the crazy realm.

And Has She Mentioned The Fringe On The Flag?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because here is said the king of dreams.

So remember, the Right is simultaneously an unstoppable juggernaut of the popular will who will win any honest vote, AND a beleaguered minority under attack by half the country, which is why voting is useless. The government is unconstitutional, which is why it needs to be overthrown by force, which is... actually unconstitutional, but never mind, never mind, let's keep going.

The important thing is what Muir believes today has no connection to what he'll believe tomorrow.

Racist Coups Are The Answer.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Preludes and Nocturnes.

It's amazing how much a Nazi he's become.

Lynching Is The Best Kind Of Justice!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sand.

...

He just gets exponentially more awful every year, and considering where he started from, that's saying a lot.

Muir Accusing Other People Of Being Pedophiles Again.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because crystal sphere.

...

Sometimes the lack of self-awareness really hits you in the face.

The Vague Conspiracy Of Vagueness Wants Wrongness!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that is duck without cherries or orange.

Muir doesn't know what's happening, but he does know that the only way that his bigotry isn't being indulged is because of an evil conspiracy.

The Hivemind Devours All.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my sweet lord.

Muir's desire to hatefuck his designated leftists has sure taken the strip in some weird directions, hasn't it?

Fictional Character Explains That People Who Disagree With The Author Aren't Real Humans.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because active ingredients.

...

Muir's work is a good spot to see which fads of the online fash have mellowed--or perhaps rotted is a better phrase--into the common usage. This one circulated for years before showing up here, and though it isn't at its former levels of popularity, it apparently has some staying power.

Remember, Bigotry Is Always Based On An Ironclad Understanding Of Reality.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spectrum.

The man who has literally invented an imaginary world where his characters are protected by ludicrous wunderwaffe while only facing pathetic strawmen as enemies so they never have to face consequences for their actions is once again portraying himself as a steely realist who understands how things actually work.

Clearly, The Talk Of A Man Who Loves Freedom.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because all the mirrors in the world.

Sometimes, it's kind of amazing to see how much Muir hates the nation he says he loves.

Yesterday's Joke, But With Racism Added.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mr. Honeyfoot.

...

It's kind of awe-inspiring, the sheer amount of moral myopia on display here.

Painful, Painful Irony.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because and then it got worse.

Aside from Muir getting self-righteous and yet somehow self-excusing about the female characters he created (and in some cases aged up) to ogle, we've got him dwelling on the 'Biden as pedophile' meme that much of the rest of the Right has moved on from. 

Which again is just more hypocritical irony from him.

Where The Hell Were They Keeping Those?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Merry Wives of London.

...

The way sex and potential violence intersect in Muir's work just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

The World's Worst Sex Comedy.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's hard to dance with the devil on your back.

...This almost makes me miss the fascist ranting, because at least there's something to analyze in that, instead of this pure awfulness.

Join Us On A Dizzying Tour Through The Cosmos Of A Fever Dream!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my favorite flavor cherry red.

The interesting bit of Muir's imagined George Washington is that in the laundry list of reactionary politics disguising itself as a return to normalcy we have that comment against vaccines. But of course, Washington would not be opposed to mandatory vaccination--we know that because he ordered mandatory vaccination for smallpox. 

But then this isn't about what Washington did, it's about Muir's fascist politics, following the law of 'absolute licence for me, absolute oppression for thee', dressing themselves as the ancient and hallowed tradition of the nation.

So Obama's The Devil Apparently.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mazurka.

...

Globalists. Of course.

Yesterday's Joke With A Dash Of Casual Racism.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Prime Cut.

About the only new takeaway from this rehash of yesterday is that Zed thinks racist shit like this is fine to say to his wife. (But then, Sam's only half-Asian in a weak effort to defend Muir from the charge of writing the racist shit he is writing.)

It's About As Realistic As Any Of His Ideas.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Millenium Actress.

Apparently Muir just remembered he had another hellspawn on tap and aged up the son so he could give clumsy and awful kid jokes.

And now I'm wondering when the next round of pregnancies will happen, because Muir hasn't gotten a chance to indulge his breastfeeding fetish for awhile.

She's Stifled Them As Individuals, The Way A Good Parent Should.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because igloo.

It's bleakly fascinating, the way Muir imagines the twins are anything other than profoundly ruined human beings warped by their hateful parents.

The Begging Bowl Remains Awful As Always.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Owl House.

There is something subtly horrifying in those bad drawings trying so hard to be sexy.

She's More The Sea Witch, Actually...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because only, only wanting contact.

It's always bleakly amusing when Sam starts talking like a crusty hateful old man.

Because, well, that's what she is essentially.

The Gender Philosophy Of The Nihilistic Misogynist.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll stand by you.

The incoherence here is fascinating, where the Left is simultaneously a gathering of no-fun puritanical authoritarians AND a bunch of degenerates rebelling against the godgiven order.

As conveyed by Muir's imaginary women who echo everything he believes. While naked.

A Display Of So Much Sexual Insecurity.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Pretenders.

...

Man, sometimes, his lack of self-awareness hits new levels of awful that he's scarcely imagined before.

Bile Up The Throat.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flounder.

...

The combination of the bad porn and the crankish fapping of engineers make this a particularly nasty strip.

Being Able To Predict His Awfulness With Shocking Accuracy Is No Comfort.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because broom.

There is something so creepy about the fact that these women all have exactly the same body.

Mindboggingly Repulsive.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because nuncle.

...

...

And you just know it's only gonna get worse.

Fairly Repulsive.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because red red wine.

...

Yep. It's just going on.

Ah. This Again.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Boodles.

The inevitable point in the latest begging bowl campaign where Muir starts promising some meganudity for funds. Joy.

The Politics Of Madness.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because jelly roll.

It says something that this strip doesn't even make sense on its own terms. We've reached the point where Muir's Biden is a parody of a parody of a delusion.

Ahhh. More Of This. Ick.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a little bit of soul

...

The first panel is literally yesterday's comic last panel.

Some People Just Don't Have Any Self-Awareness.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mint julep.

...

...

So, how long till the next 'screaming about pedos' session, do you all reckon?

He Only Had To Draw One Panel, Folks.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spinet.

...

...

It's the bone-deep laziness that gets me.

Proud To Be Cruel And Unusual.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because John Dowland.

Nice to see that due process is another thing Muir doesn't care about.

Has He Mentioned That Biden Is All Things Evil, And Sam Has Breasts Enough?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because in the air tonight.

It's still amusing how Muir's version of Biden resembles... the guy who he kept swearing was a great leader who fought for the nation.

She's Lucky She's Playing On Easy Mode.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Slap Shot.

A reminder that she's broken so many laws as county chairwoman that in the real world, the question would be if the county is up to paying the legal fees.

Muir's Fake Women Announce Only Fake Women Are For Abortion.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because carry my name.

It's kind of fascinating the way Muir just piles on the bullshit on this one until his picture of his imagined degenerate left collapses in on itself, while the picture he makes of himself as an ignorant, bigoted, hypocritical, self-righteous misogynist comes into crystal clarity.

God, I Loathe These People. And They're Imaginary.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I heard living is easy to do.

...

Remember, these two are married.

Does She Just Not Have A Spine?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the rats, the rats in the walls.

...

You know, at least this is just awful cheesecake art with a bit of Muir's 'Hail the Redneck!' material as subtext. Consider if he'd started the real crazy.

New Zealand! Secret Haven Of The Sinister Elite!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flap.

...

I'm pretty sure Muir has no idea how his evil conspiracy is supposed to operate.

Now, Who Does Muir Have Running The Sinister Conspiracy This Time?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Aeneas.

It says something that even when real problems happen, Muir can always find some imaginary ones to terrify him.

As he humps his guns.

They Hold Us Back... Somehow.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight.

Yes, I'm sure a collection of the poorest states in the Union and two of the shakier rich ones would do amazing on their own.

Impure! Impure! Stone The Heretic!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because pass the dutchie on the left hand side.

...

That's a lot of awful packed into one strip. Still, let's enjoy Muir demonstrating his keen love of individualism... by declaring that a man who has varied his opinion just a tad from Muir's deserves to have violence visited upon him.

Muir's For The Liberty Of Individuals! Provided They're Heterosexual White Men.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Letter From an Unknown Woman.

The most amusing thing about this strip--albeit in a horrible way--is that Muir spouts his bullshit about 'liberty' and then sort of ignores that he's reveling people losing theirs, or in some cases having it denied from birth. But then Muir doesn't want liberty, he wants license to impose his will on others. If we don't let him be a tyrant, then we're the real tyrants he whines, once again.

Fascists have a limited playlist, and the tunes don't get better with age.

Sam's Politics Are Closer To Alexander Stephens' Cornerstone Speech.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because levitating lovers.

Remember, insisting elections where you don't win don't count is just like the Founding Fathers and not like another bunch of people in American history who tried secession.

It Worked So Well Last Time.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because at least not today.

A reminder that no, Texas can't secede, and that actually most of the red states are parasitically living off the blue ones, not the other way around.

He get's more nakedly treasonous each year while somehow imagining that he's draping himself in the flag. 

Let's Just Soak In The Hideous Irony.

 It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the Aggies.

He's accusing others of pedophilia with the fictional girls who he aged up, but not really to use as eye candy.

Yup.

Obvious Twin Joke Launched.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because grenadine.

...

You know, somehow this thing just gets creepier the longer you think about it.

"Killing The Planet Is The Only Way To Do Things!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm not the sheriff.

 Every now and then Muir reminds you that he isn't just stupid and evil, but he's proud of that fact, to the point where he now believes that being smart and good are lies, and his stupidity and evil are proof of how clever and virtuous he is.

She Asks The Questions Angry Old Men And Shouty Wine Moms Want To.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Liquore Strega.

Well, now we know that Muir drives in between holing himself up in his house and drawing terrible cartoons in whatever gated community in central Florida he lives in.

And Then He Got On His Dinosaur Calvary.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Donderbach.

It's hard to say if Zed's understanding of the past or his ancestor's understanding of the future is the more distorted.

Of course, as this is apparently a fictitious version of him, probably the former. But who knows how the rules work in the DbDverse, other than they usually don't.

The Part Of Zed's Ancestor Will Now Be Played By Matt Barry In My Head. For The Laughs.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hollow earth.

It's funny how when a reactionary raves about the past when things were Better, and Men were Men, you inevitably wind up thinking they'd have lasted about a month there if they were lucky.

And That's Why They Need Automatic Weapons To Shoot Up People They Don't Like.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wear your love like heaven.

...

I mean, the Founding Fathers copped to being an insurrection. They felt--for very good reasons--that theirs was a justified insurrection, but they didn't try to claim that akshully they were just showing up to let their voices be heard, and then the evil forces of antifa staged a false flag.

For Truly, Ever Have The Rednecks Ruled Over This Nation!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because La Ronde.

...

There is something so damned pathetic about Muir's imaginings, a man desperately trying to project his hideous culture into a past where it would be seen as just as awful as it is now, if not always for the same reasons.

"Have I Mentioned How Manly And Awesome My Ancestors Were?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sam Spade was a blonde Mephistopheles.

 It's kind of been fascinating watching Zed's Captain Mitty status travel back up the family tree. Doubtless we'll be hearing about Lt. General Hezekiah Ezekiel Brommel Owens who fought for Texas in the Civil War War of Northern Aggression, one of these days. 

Shooting People Is The Answer!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bay seasoning.

...

He says shit like this as mass shootings happen. Because the problem isn't guns to Muir. It isn't even people dying. It's that this shit isn't directed, isn't being done for the grand purpose of putting our redneck rightful masters in control.

Charming As Always.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Satan's Claw.

Ahh, an ineptly launched attempt to intimidate or possibly murder an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor because... *handwave*.

Muir's ability to always take a worse moral stance sure is something.

Ha Ha! He Sure Is Showing Her!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because being the praetorian prefect came with great perks, but the job security, well, it wasn't good.

You know this is a dense strip, just not the way Muir wants it to be. In between the usual 'Youse da Nazis" bullshit, and declarations of esoteric victory, we see Muir's ongoing collapse into sovereign citizen nuttery, and another example of the ever shifting cast of the loyal and true, where a man can be named a heretic one day, and then have his orthodoxy affirmed the next. 

She Is Loathsome, Because Muir Says She Is.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because give me a sign.

As we watch Muir toss out more pedo accusations and misogyny, let's point out that the rise of Sam to the county council, which was painted as the only way to keep this woman out of power, has seen not only public harassment tactics like this, but also a great deal of illegal and seditious activity as Muir creates his imaginary fascist state that he thinks it's not fascist.

How Long Can She Eat That Damn Sandwich?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Krazy Kat.

This has been an entire week of one strip, essentially, given with mild variations and ever more incomprehensible nutter gobbledygook for dialogue.

It's an accomplishment, of a sort.

More Static Shots And Stupid Gloating.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ruler of the roast.

The fact that Muir's turned one dull, unpleasant conversation into nearly a week's worth of terrible strips, all horribly blocked, says so much about this comic, doesn't it?

Remember, She's A County Chairwoman!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because dill pickle.

Muir is really reveling in imaginary victories against idiot caricatures of those he imagines to be his enemies.

It's Easy To Be Brave When Your Existence Is Consequence Free.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bart Starr.

Remember, when fascists say they're for law and order, they mean for other people.

I Await The Talk Of The Fringe On The Flag.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the return of the Thin White Duke.

...

It's kind of amazing how much power Muir assumes a county chairperson to have.

I Await His Declaration That Lizard People Are Behind It All.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the New York Yanks.

...

It takes a special kind of fascist to constantly accuse your opponents of being Nazis while you insist that Nazi policies are the answers to our ills.

How Can They Face The Power Of A County Chairwoman?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because without no seam.

So he's pretty much admitting he wants gun to threaten people with. Got it.

He Thinks He's Witty.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lombardi.

...

Yeah. Fuck you, Muir. People die, and you say shit like this and think you're being clever.

Somehow, He Continues To Be Baffled By Her Bullshit.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Laugh'O'Gram.

And it just continues. Sam's nonsense arguments are treated as instawins by straw men so weak, they can't stand up in a mild breeze.

Losing The Fight Against An Opponent Who Isn't Even Fighting Back.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flee flea.

Muir's so caught in his own little delusional cycle that he acts as if the mere attempt to get the cast to follow the law is self-refuting. It makes sense only to fellow members of the Sovereign Citizen woo, and then only because they want it to. To anyone else, it looks like Sam just said 'nu-uh!' to someone pointing out the flaw in her plan, and the person just backed down for no reason.

She Actually Thinks This Is Clever.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because awkward.

You know, this is a perfect display of Muir's inflated ego--not only does he have the Justice Department preoccupied with Sam's Podunk County antics, but he acts like the old "Republic not a Democracy" canard is anything more than the pathetic and shopworn rhetorical device that it is. 

And he seems to think that this isn't fascistic, and indeed, only fascists would oppose it.

The Begging Bowl Begins Earlier And Creepier.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Slomo.

This latest beginning of Muir's cries of needing more money is a good place for me to note that Muir has once again messed with his site's format. Reading between the lines, it's hard not to think that Muir is trying to get his little white dwarf of a right wing fever dream comic earning a bit more. Let's see how long it drags on this year, eh?

What Precedent Is There For Secession Being Illegal, She Asks?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hagahorn.

...

It says something that Muir's strawmen don't even try anymore. His characters argle-bargle at them, and the strawmen just argle-bargle right back, no matter how ridiculous Muir's ideas are.

"How Dare He Not Believe The Same Crazy Bullshit I Do!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ah Ha!

It's something to have to wrap your head around Muir's almost adolescent preoccupation with Schwarznegger, and his usual accusations of Nazism even as spits out fascist talking points.

Bad Porn And Bad Health Tips Unite!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Stridex.

You know, just as Muir's fictional women make it clear he has no relationship, his Covid bullshit make it clear his semi-recluse lifestyle is the only thing keeping him alive.

The Self-Righteous Bigotry Comes Right At You.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Valentine is done.

It's not just that Muir's a vile bigot who believes nonsense--it's that he thinks he's better because of that.

Muir's Five Minute Hate.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Oldenshaw.

It's funny how generic Muir's hate objects rapidly become. Just a bland ball of negative traits, and a lousy caricature that Muir doesn't even change much.

What True Progressive Doesn't Support Ethnonationalism, She Asks?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that happened.

It's bitterly amusing that Skye's arguments to demonstrate that she's a betrayed progressive make her sound like a reactionary racist, in'it?

Postscript--He Is Not A Nut.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the devil's in the details.

...

He really believes all this, and he thinks it proves he's not a fascist.

Let Us Revel In The Not Awfulness.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he's a bug.

Huh, a non-hateful cartoon. I'm going to sigh in relief and prepare for further horror.

He Looks Like Freaking Solomon Grundy.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wilson Pickett.

...I don't know which is worse, the creepy nudity of the magically aged-up twins, or the fact that the young boyfriend looks like he's either in late middle age, or is some bizarre mutant.

Possibly both.

Ugly, Ugly Drawings.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because suspense.

Sometimes Muir just has to remind everyone that he has somehow gotten worse as an artist.

And he started out awful.

You Gotta Nip It In The Bud!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Cranky Jem.

And remember, Muir will constantly tell us how the Left and Democrats are the real racists and mega-Nazis.

...Significantly More, Actually.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hwhat.

Bits like this emphasize that Muir isn't just a vile bigot, he's a STUPID one who doesn't know what he's talking about, preferring to dwell in a fetid swamp of paranoid misinformation.

All Part Of The Sinister Plot.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because as I was out walking.

I see Muir has avoided having to draw any new panels much as he's avoided trying to get any actual ideas.

Well, it's always something to pretend to care about something like this.

The Filthy Parasitic Vermin.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Man in Room 17.

...

It's kind of bleakly fascinating how much a Nazi Muir has gotten without even realizing it.

Awful In Every Day.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Percy's Song.

And Muir demonstrates just how much of a Nazi he is.

The answer is a very big one.

Why Do They Even Talk To Her?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because go Oilers.

It's the combination of Muir imagining that any form of government action that isn't shooting people he doesn't like is tyranny and conspiracy, and him thinking that Skye is asking questions, instead of threatening people while pretending she's asking them things.

A Traitor To The People's Will!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bigelow's Tea.

And Muir simultaneously paints January 6th as a harmless protest AND a lawful rebellion, on the 'it's tyranny when we lose' principle, while again complaining about those dirty treacherous Republicans.

More Lies And More Antisemitism.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cucumber.

At this point, the strip has been almost a week of a fascist antisemite accusing Jewish men of being Nazis while occasionally praising an invasion being staged by a foreign nation for blatant expansionist reasons.

You Know Who Else Used Words? THE NAZIS!!!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because good gumbo.

And more declaring a Jewish man is a Nazi, because reasons, and all authority that is not right wing is illegitimate and thus, fascist.

Got it.

This Is Starting To Become A Pattern.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because memoirs.

And Muir accuses yet another Jewish man of being a Nazi. Boy, that's not suggestive at all.

He Says This AS He Supports A State Actually Invading For Territory.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Albanian Embassy.

As thoroughly disgusting as all this, it's a fascinating look at Muir's blending two themes--that the Democrats are the REAL Nazis, and that blue states are all inferior and collapsing--into one horrible fascistic whole.

A William Dudley Pelley Award-Winning Strip.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that happened.

...

The fascinating thing is that Muir honestly thinks he's demonstrating how patriotic he is. 

This brand of the fascist filth don't change. They were yelling how everyone was being taken for a ride all through WWII. While wearing flag pins, actually.

He Thinks That's An Argument. And A Joke.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mr. Boombastic.

...So, this awful thing is just going on and on, then?

Of course it is.

Ever Greater Concentrations Of Misogyny And Fascism.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because two fingers of Scotch.

I have to say, even though I know there's no offramp, and that Muir is just going to become more and more of a right wing loon, it's kind of startling to see how increasingly blatant he gets in his misogyny and his fascism.

Those Hysterical Trollops, Not Listening To Men!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because how does it feel to be an All-American?

...Wow. That is a shotgun blast of misogyny right there. 

Imaginary Woman Explains How It's The Bitches' Own Fault.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Temple Owls.

...

Yeah, the pathology there is pretty deep, in'it?

Only Communists Want To Keep Bigots From Spreading Hate And Misinformation.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flower.

I see Muir still has no idea what communism actually entails.

It HAD To Be REAL!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because when I was but one of them, I knew how to sing.

The New York Times reminded us all how the media would have loved to make the laptop a thing by making hay about a qualified confirmation that some of the emails on it were real, allowing right wing rags to say this proved it was real.

All of them ignored when people noted that a mockup would probably be a mix of real material that had been lifted and made up bullshit. Because they all hoped that everyone outside the bubble would care about the laptop now.

They didn't.

His Elon Musk Drawing Manages To Be More Loathsome Than The Actual Elon Musk, Somehow.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because chase that tiger.

This strip is Angry Old Man Shouts At Clouds in fever dream form these days.

Remember, Real Muricans Are White.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because go Stallions!

Well, I'm waiting for the inevitable 'Youse the Nazis!' strip that always seems to follow Muir spewing racist, Nazi bullshit.

The Crazy Loops Back On Itself.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tiger March.

You know, even as Muir regurgitates the same old crazy and the same old theories, he broadcasts how mad he still is that a Black man was elected president.

Well, That Confirms My Longstanding 'Kentucky Gentleman' Is The Co-Writer Theory.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Belichick, why?

 ...You know, Muir's newfound appreciation for Putin makes so much sense right now. They really are each other's sort of people.

Your Sitcom From Hell.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Demon Deacons.

...

And he thinks this is all laughs and goodtimes. That's what gets me.

Bad, Creepy Sex Comedy, And Terrible Blocking. Muir's Own PB And Chocolate.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Salute to Courage.

...

I still cannot get over that "boy's" unfortunate face.

The Sex Comedy Nobody Needed.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Emerald cashews.

...

And soon Muir will go back to screaming about what vile pedoscum the left are...

Think Of It Mandrake!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Branded to Kill.

Well, Muir's giving a pretty good display how far into his bullshit militia fantasy he's fallen--Zed's speech would function as a villain's by most measures. So let's focus on the fact that the supposedly youthful new love interest looks to be in his forties.

No, You Haven't, Kid. The Man Who Writes You Has.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because thunder road.

Yeah, sometimes Muir really forgets that the whole cast isn't his age.
