It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Amazon.
And in between a strange mix of another grotesque attempt at sentimentality and Muir's pervy pregnancy fetish, he tosses in a sneering, stupid joke about Green Energy in another fine display of Muir's dogmatic crankery and blind hatred of environmentalism.
Just an awful strip, in every way.
You've been writing about Muir's pregnancy fetish for quite a while, and for most of that time I wasn't quite on board. I didn't really see it. But I see it now. I guess it needed to beat me over the head a few more times before it sank in.
ReplyDeleteGiven that we know he aged up the twins to speed up the day when they could become ogle-magnets, realizing that this might have been the true ultimate endgame somehow makes it even more yucko.
At any rate, the ugly fact is that given what his political movement is forcing into reality, he needn't have aged them up at all.
(Come to think of it, has DBD ever directly referenced the repeal of Roe? I can't remember.)
It's interesting, because this is one of the few areas where Muir's development is pretty clear--not a sudden sea change to follow his heroes, like his move from neocon warmonger to paleocon isolationist, nor a difficult to put your finger shift like his white supremacism where you ask if he changed, or did the mask just drop. While Sam and Jan's first pregnancies were fueled by plot, he swiftly developed an interest in drawing them breastfeeding that became pretty fetishistic. That lead to more pregnancies, and that lead to the pregnancy fetish--and again, you can track all this. He didn't used to draw his pregnant characters like this.
