The Compound Can Easily Thwart A Threat Written To Be Pathetic And Weak.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the red & the black.

There's little new going on in this strip--as usual, Muir runs into the difficulty that writing antagonists his chunkheads can defeat easily means writing absolute morons, but doesn't notice he has. And again, the Compound's magitech as usual seems like the utter nonsense it is, an ignorant man's effort at being clever. But this does illuminate why he's become so fond of the 'Biden as puppet' imagery, aside from petty spite. Muir constantly has to have Biden embody the contradictory impulses of all the conspiracy theories Muir now believes. And these things have become so contradictory that Muir finds it easier to believe that Biden is obviously merely the figurehead for a collective body of ne'er-do-wells then try and square how all it works. That this lets him feel more contempt for his imagined Biden is just icing on the cake.
