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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flower.
I see Muir still has no idea what communism actually entails.
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.
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.
