It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Crystal Gryphon.
Once again--the only way to be a good woman is to be a misogynistic fascist bitch.
A day by day look at Chris Muir's Day By Day, punctuated by efforts to make the hurting stop.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Crystal Gryphon.
Once again--the only way to be a good woman is to be a misogynistic fascist bitch.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Spell of the Witch World.
We are now on Day 3 of Skye as Worm Girl and it really adds to the deep awful of the strips.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because One Spell Wizard.
I see we're getting multiple days of Skye's new Worm Person Face.
Great. Goes with the shit in the strip.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Legacy from Sorn Fen.
A reminder that the sisters are awful in every single way. But especially in their politics.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dream Smith.
There's not much original in this incoherent screed, just the usual blend of conspiracy bullshit and self-righteousness. So I'm going to focus on the fact that there's a decent chance the latest attempt at a spinoff-storyline died in about a month. At the very least, it doesn't suggest much for its robustness in that's how long it took for Muir to start skipping installments.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dragon Scale Silver.
The extent to which this strip has become an eternal monologue pretending to be a conversation really gets you sometimes.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Amber Out of Quaithe.
I've lost track of the times Muir has asserted that it is absolutely the case that Biden is of course a Chinese puppet, even as the details and the supposed proof keep changing. Then again, Muir changes his stories so often without realizing it, I think even he is confused by the bizarre mental universe he now inhabits.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ully the Piper.
The extent to which this has become a de facto Nazi propaganda strip babbling in nonsensical catchphrases really comes through in strips like this.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sorceress of Witch World.
...
Christ, the blustering insecurity posing as strength is just astonishing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Warlock of the Witch World.
...
Muir sneering at more accomplished people than him, Part 1000.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Three Against the Witch World.
Muir's viewpoint is a spiral of delusion and hate. He either exaggerates problems that fit his racist worldview or imagines them outright to justify calling for violence as an answer. Meanwhile he ignores real problems, insisting that these are either delusions or conspiracies to fool dupes. The result is a man whose every favored course of action would only hurt this nation and the world.
And he keeps insisting that he's the real patriot.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Year of the Unicorn.
So, all that was a couple of extraneous characters apparently.
Muir's lack of focus as a writer really shines through here.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Web of the Witch World.
Ahh, the twofold delusion of white suburbs. First, that they are some sort of rural heartland.
Second, that they could exist without the cities they despise.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Witch World.
The only thing remotely interesting about this strip is Muir pulling out the old 'immigrants as hidden agents of the nation they came from' canard. Which isn't original, just shockingly blatant on his part.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because loving the alien.
The 'how dare we face consequences for what we did' energy is strong in this strip.
Alongside the robot stuff.
Won't lie, there's something deeply amazing how he keeps that shit going.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the furthest we got was a pilot program in Yeovil.
Every now and then, Muir does one of these odd tribute strips to a late individual (implicitly a former member of the DbD fandom, but the oddness of every aspect of the strip these days doesn't make that a certainty). They're almost invariably like this... not objectionable, but weird, fumbling attempts at sentiment.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because We Five.
...
Fundamentally, this is where the Far Right leads you. Being a blithering, racist idiot who says things that are both stupid and evil.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Draughtsman's Contract.
Just like in 2016, a Republican hack is discovering there's no way to spin things, no amount of abusing what is supposed to be an apolitical process by turning your report into a hit piece, that will work when you can't recommend charges because there wasn't really a crime. To the Right, you're just another Deep State traitor.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the concrete blocks my view.
...
Now I'm half expecting to spend so long in this flashback to the badly written straw feminist dystopia that he loses interest and never gets around to the whole "Quantum Leap ripoff" that is supposed be the central premise.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because raspberry.
A reminder that she is leading a secession attempt, but no, somehow they have to be trying a bogus January 6th charge, because nothing illegal the cast does counts.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because strawberry.
So he's doing a 'yer da real racists' and a 'yer tryin' to replace da Real Muricans!' simultaneously. And he doesn't see the inherent contradiction here. Hell, he keeps insisting the Confederacy was great, except when he pulls something like this.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Chas Addams.
Muir could never be satisfied with just one token minority because he needed more masks to make racist jokes behind while insisting it was okay.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because mango flavored licorice.
The misogyny gets even more overbearing when you realize that the ideal wife is just the man's basic personality put into a hot woman.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gomez.
In a way, this strip with Sam in multiple Howler Monkey Faces sums up DbD perfectly. The pathetic fantasies, political and sexual, of a misogynistic fascist, rendered terribly and incoherently.
And again, multiple Howler Monkey Faces.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Donut Shop Blend.
Muir's lousy artwork and bad perspective makes this look less titillating and more actively painful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Comfort Eagle.
This is what happens when a reactionary misogynist tries to write a feminist dystopia, and stumbles on the fact that he can't even write even a reasonable facsimile of a straw feminist.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I remember when rock was young.
This is all Muir can find to write about today.
This.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because and I saw you.
...
It feels like Muir was in such a hurry to be sexist, he forgot to have a point.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because been a long time.
So now, it's not just softcore, it's lazy softcore.
