It's the Day's Day of Days! Because iko!
It's astonishing that Muir is so bad at this after keeping at it for so long.
A day by day look at Chris Muir's Day By Day, punctuated by efforts to make the hurting stop.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because iko!
It's astonishing that Muir is so bad at this after keeping at it for so long.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my flag boy and your flag boy were sitting by the fire.
The Howler Monkey Face is the final piece needed to make this actively painful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because amongst the keels of rocks he thinks of her.
It's funny that Muir always assumes that the entire military is just filled with Real Muricans who hold no loyalty to Democratic usurpers.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because boo.
...I'm already waiting for Muir to just give up on this terrible spin-off strip.
We all know it's coming.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because stop your crying.
The fascinating thing is how incoherent Muir's politics have become under all the sound and fury. It's about shouting the eternal war of True Muricans to reclaim their nation and regain their glory until the crack of doom. One of the big changes in Muir over the Obama years was he lost pretty much any actionable goals. Everything became about sniffing out imaginary conspiracies and preaching the inevitable glorious restoration, even when the Republicans won elections.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because bingo.
The Republican governor pseudo-revolt is pretty much par for the course--a lot of sound and fury pretending it's accomplishing something as Lincoln turns in his grave. The danger is that eventually one of the chuckleheads goes too far, which will likely get dealt with quick, yes, but also convince the yahoos these morons are riling up that now's the time to start.
It won't be the Next Civil War. Just the American Years of Lead. And that's bad enough.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jolene heard the singing in the forest.
You know as we watch Muir demonstrate his misinformation fail cycle in action, I once again am left wondering just what he thinks is happening in Ukraine. I know that he's decided that deserting a nation fighting against an invasion by a de facto fascist would-be conqueror in such a way as to damage the US's international standing is both righteous and clever. But he also seems to think he knows the real story of what's happening there, and yet I can't find any definite indication of what it is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sixty second interval.
There is something so pathetic, on so many levels, when Muir goes on one of these witless, bigoted tangents and tosses out essentially the same strip for a few days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because do you think she's swimming in your lies?
...The smug bigotry mixed with the assumption that naturally one of them can't be a competent pilot is just contemptible.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you gentlemen all work for me.
The transition from not understanding how sanctuary cities work and why the lawsuit tactic is a reasonably clever one to salivating at future kangaroo courts is...
Well, typical of late era Muir, in'it?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Amina.
It's the aesthetics of Blade Runner being ripped off, badly, to serve as the frame for terrible MRA propaganda.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone.
The constant insistence that it's a cruel subversion of the Constitution if county sheriffs don't have nigh absolute authority in their jurisdictions and can't shoot immigrants on sight really hammers home how deep Muir's gone into the Sovereign Citizen weeds.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because lucky tiger.
He really thinks this is a healthy relationship.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I think I've seen about a million sunsets.
The fascinating thing is how Muir thinks squealing like a coward shows how brave and tough he is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because vege-ta-bles.
He is literally calling for a coup attempt.
And also ignoring logistics while imagining his mighty redneck army would shoot at others with impunity while never really being in danger of getting shot at itself, but, well, that's all par for the course.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Arthur Lee.
Muir's absolute faith that it's self-demonstrating that his foes are Nazis even as he spouts racist, fascist gibberish remains a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because everybody's gotta live.
Ahh. I see Muir's praising dangerous Right wing loons foreign and domestic again.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sun Belt Conference.
...
...
Sometimes, Muir just seems to want to confirm that every artistic instinct he has is wrong.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mixed with aloe vera.
There's really nothing new in Muir's insistence that Barack Obama is the secret shadow president, that immigration is a Democratic plot, and even that this compromises treason and thus makes what the cast does not treason. So I'll focus on the fact that Zed's response doesn't remotely follow from Sam's comment.
God, the lack of craft in this strip is just terrible.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because little did our heroes realize...
Two strips about refugees, one where Muir indulges in his long-held crazy conspiracy theory that South American immigrants are riddled with Islamic fundamentalists and him both applauding the racist acts of Abbott and insisting that his cast is responsible for them in this universe, which is... yeah, classic Muir.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because robot, experience this cruel irony for me.
And a few days after insisting that white men are the bearers of the superior culture, Muir clarifies that this superior culture is being a dumbass jingoistic redneck.
Because fascists just parrot that stuff about culture. They don't believe it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because robot, assume my social obligations for me.
It's funny when Muir trots out the magitech bullshit that will let his cast fight their strong-weak foes but not be killing people, because not only will Muir demonstrate his ignorance, arrogance and shoddy writing, but the entire desire underlines the pathetic place the strip lives in now. Always promising the bloody acts of righteous violence, and pulling back because on some level Muir knows they aren't righteous at all. Just repulsive.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because bejabbers!
We knew that Muir was heading deep into the sovereign citizen, posse comitatus bullshit. (Quick, people. Guess how many times sheriffs are mentioned in the Constitution!) So, none of that is a surprise. What is is he's finally about-faced on the 'January 6th was a bunch of honest patriots trying to get the deep state to listen to their legitimate demands' to 'Deep state plants plotting their insidious coup!' And of course, he could do it again in a heartbeat.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Oh, Pastry.
Man, I can't wait for yet another declaration of how liberals and Democrats are the real racists, and also Nazis.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because City, by Clifford D. Simak.
Remember the last time Muir wrote a batshit insane work under the auspices of it being a novel written by Sam? And how it went off the rails, quickly and finally shut down with no proper conclusion?
I'm saying this because I'm not sure he does.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hambone.
The number of times Muir has pulled this shit out has gotten actively ridiculous. About the only variations are how labored the setup is and what bad art he uses to fill up the panels. This time we get what I'm pretty sure is a filtered/traced picture of an old farm.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because nobody knows who they were, or what they were doing.
The most pathetic thing about Muir's turn to naked white supremacism is that he thinks saying shit like proves he isn't what he is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Brooklyn.
Muir clearly thinks this makes his cast more super cool and awesome.
Instead of criminals committing more crimes to threaten the people sent to deal with all their crimes.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home now, so cold, let me in.
He just can't help it. Time after time, Muir depicts his little ramshackle rebellion as completely overpowering government agents. Because the fantasy is a coward's fantasy, a fascist's fantasy--that you have the irresistible force of the Volk behind you, and that is the source of your power, and the source of your righteousness.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it was a rock'n'roll creation.
So, natalism, racism, anti-vax bullshit, Sam making a howler monkey face... yeah, this strip has everything that defines modern DbD.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Orson Welles is The Stranger.
By 'Middle Class' Muir means 'conservative whites', of course.
There's something quietly amazing about how he doesn't know what words mean.
