It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mr. Bones.
This is the strip now. Endless bragging about imaginary power, and endless declaring of everyone but the most Right Wing of nutters as either a traitor or a heretic, while Muir imagines cozying up to foreign dictators, and proclaims this the truest values of the nation.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because honey-roasted.
Muir's endless projection about how whiny and awful everyone else is but people like him continues apace.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flax.
Remember, the far right doesn't use the courts to do things.
Except when they do. But then it's different.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wheat.
The way Muir keeps assuming that his pathetic wannabe breakaway republic will immediately get all the winning is... well, very Late Era DbD.
Along with Sam going full Howler Monkey Face when she acts like an asshat.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my lips they are as cold as clay, my breath is earthy strong.
As we stare at this monument of incoherence, I just have to once again point out that this is yet another highly illegal thing that Gunpowder is doing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Silver May Tarnish.
There's a grim humor in the fact that the only thing that keeps Muir from fully embracing Putin is his fear he might be a communist.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Duke's Ballad.
Muir has been declaring randos on the internet the only true source of information for over a decade now.
This happens to correspond with his move to greater crazy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ciara's Song.
The quietly fascinating thing about the chants of 'Fuck You Biden', and 'Let's go Brandon' is how the Right imagines they are making their opponents apoplectic with rage, when in fact said opponents are just left baffled at why they think acting silly is such a masterful display of their power.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Warding of Witch World.
The way Muir keeps acting as if the only opposition to all the nakedly illegal, treasonous acts the cast keeps doing would be some sort of secretive conspiracy is downright baffling at times. It underlines his fall into the sovereign citizen territory where his cast all know the secret real laws, and these trump the fake laws that people like the actual government think run things.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Magestone.
Somehow the gun metaphors make the attempt at witty banter more awful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Key of the Keplian.
There's something to be said about how Muir thinks this displays his patriotism and courage.
In a sense, it does.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because On Wings of Magic.
We move from one pathetic fantasy to another one that is worse because it's actively morally bankrupt and involves fanboying a fascist who's invading another country.
Also, the fantastically incoherent Redneckistan bullion depository returns, likely so it can disappear again in the near future.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Flight of Vengeance.
Muir thinks Zed and Sam are likable, and this repertoire is witty and sexy.
Just stare at the failure and move on.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Songsmith.
I wonder if Muir realizes that the company that makes these bespoke bulletproof suits is in Toronto.
Ah, well. It's just another bit for the "Muir basically stopped developing when he was 12" pile.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Storms of Victory.
Sometimes the overall sadness of what Zed and Sam really are as fictional characters--an author avatar and that avatar's pretend wife, who is also a genderswapped author avatar--crashes in on you.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gate of the Cat.
Nothing says 'I love my nation' like cheering on its enemies as they invade other states, and dreaming of the capital getting bombed.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Of the Shaping of Ulm's Heir.
Muir's version of Democrats have always been shallow hate objects. It's just that now, he doesn't even bother to base their actions on anything they actually did, no matter how distorted. Just baldly asserts this is so, to the Peanut Gallery's applause.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gryphon's Eyrie.
The levels of awfulness in that first line get you. Not only is Muir equating immigration with an actual invasion by a hostile army, but he is using the death of a fictional character at the hands of a fictional immigrant he created to show how this is the real threat that is being ignored.
In favor of stopping a fascist invasion of another nation that could easily escalate if left unchecked. But then Muir's foreign policy resembles his domestic policy, as exemplified by adding a stupid Washington joke to a call to kill the entire legislative branch. Stupid vileness that thinks it is clever and upright.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Were-Wrath.
The movie references in this strip have never not been awkward, and they just keep getting worse.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ware Hawk.
Muir's gone from his old Bizarro-Marxist quasi-libertarian views, to a fascist view that dresses up as the old one, so that the words "collectivism" and "individualism" no longer have any real meaning. Which isn't quite as far as you'd think, but it does show you how he continues to become more and more what he was at the bottom of him.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Horn Crown.
There's always something so tiresome about a man who can't put a coherent argument together to save his life insisting his opponents are mentally imbalanced.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gryphon in Glory.
Remember, the Right are glorious rebellious free men fighting against authoritarian drones jealous of their natural superior freedom. And they are also the dutiful followers of the true tradition facing the decadent degenerates rebelling against the natural order.
Look the important thing is they are whatever makes them feel better at a given moment about following the half-baked mess of poorly-handled notions they imagine is philosophy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Changeling.
...
This is somewhere between a racist mad lib, and a paranoid's personal murderboard.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sand Sister.
The greatest irony here is that Muir is at this point an actual member of a group of political interlopers who have worked to crawl into power to subvert the nation. But like every fascist, he thinks he and his have an inherent right to power, and always represent the true will of the people. Or at least, the real people.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Falcon Blood.
I keep saying it because it keeps being true--there is something so pathetic in how this is transparently Muir's fantasy. And there are more levels to the patheticness. The utterly ramshackle state of Muir's created world, where Muir's need for constant challenges to show his avatars' might wars with his equally constant need to show them as secure and unchallengeable--and both occasionally get kicked over by the real world. The cringing cowardice and bullying swagger that Muir imagines are courage. The fact Muir on some level believes this, believes in the way of all fascists that his way is so innately strong, so clearly right that it will win and win and win, and if it appears to lose, than it is only because the other side cheated.
I said it when Trump won--Muir is as miserable in victory as he is in defeat, because his expectations are so high, his beliefs are so detached from reality, and his allies so shit, that a win is only the gateway to disappointment and then defeat.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zarsthor's Bane.
Modern DbD in a nutshell. Where core female members of the cast are going to be in a relationship with a man, and pregnant in short order.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sword of Unbelief.
That punchline would land better if Muir didn't regularly talk in his own version of that, which is hateful on top of being nonsense.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Trey of Swords.
It's fascinating how little deviation from the hivemind gets a character called a 'libtard' these days. The cast was never that varied a bunch, but these days they actively get offended when a character shows any variation at all.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Spider Silk.
Won't lie, I saw the "Senile Biden" joke coming after panel 3.
The pregnancy fetish panels and the garbled second hand retreads of misunderstood academic theory painted as degenerate progressive politics weren't quite as inevitable but were looking pretty likely.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Jargoon Pard.
This particular strip reminds me that if DbD didn't exist, I wouldn't know there exists in this world a man with a pregnancy/breastfeeding fetish and a strange obsession with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Which let's be honest, is a pretty weird pair of quirks to be paired.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Toads of Grimmerdale.
As usual, the celebration of a cast member's assimilation into the hivemind is accompanied by a bad attempt at sentiment, and a castigation of liberal values that is so blatantly projection that it loops into being comical. Because Muir thinks becoming a sociopathic wingnut is moral growth.
