It's the Day's Day of Days! Because An Episode of Cathedral History.
Your reminder that when Sam was supposed to be the good sister, it always stumbled on the fact that she was if anything an even more awful person than Skye.
Who was pretty awful.
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 An Episode of Cathedral History.
Your reminder that when Sam was supposed to be the good sister, it always stumbled on the fact that she was if anything an even more awful person than Skye.
Who was pretty awful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Diary of Mr. Poynter.
It's fascinating to see Muir indulge in his "Western Civilization" nonsense at the same time as he pretends to understand Argentina, and pretends to care about one of the cast members he more or less forgot existed for years.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Residence at Whitminster.
There's just something bleakly comical about how Muir continues to think Trump is sharp as a tack, and thus doesn't need to be criticized for his age.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mr Humphreys and His Inheritance.
Muir riding out to defend Gaetz well after affairs have ended in his complete humiliation is most assuredly a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Martin's Close.
The astonishing thing is the breadth of Muir's arrogance and ignorance.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral.
Ahhh, Muir's female characters doing one of their favorite activities--insisting that men have been the ones who have really been suffering, and how happy they are to help them get over that.
Other favorite activities include posing, either in scanty clothing or nude, breeding, and breastfeeding.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Casting the Runes.
This is how Muir celebrates Christmas. A shitton of misogyny.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Tractate Middoth.
Somehow, Muir distorting the Red Sea friendly fire incident to this is less alarming than these two adult women talking about Santa Claus as if he were real.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Rose Garden.
The way Muir can't seem to write the girls as anything but kids despite aging them up years ago really shines through on this one.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A School Story.
Muir's ability to turn everything he reads into proof that we need more reactionaries in power is most certainly a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Treasure of Abbot Thomas.
They destabilized their caucus and nearly caused a shutdown, only for nearly the same bill to pass minus some cancer research funding.
Muir thinks this is victory.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because "Oh, Whistle And I'll Come To You, My Lad".
Trump's not even in office and Muir's already checking out from reality this time. This is gonna be a long, crazy four years.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Count Magnus.
I know I keep saying this, but the extent to which Muir did a 180 on foreign policy demonstrates that all he ever wanted was to be a racist bully.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Number 13.
A reminder that Sam was heading a breakaway state for awhile. Though again, that plotline's gone all timey-wimey ball on us.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Ash-Tree.
Every now and then, Muir shows a smidgen of awareness about his own essential awfulness. It is of course buried beneath tons of the racism and projection that Muir has convinced himself is all true and righteous, but it is still there.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Mezzotint.
This is what Muir thinks local government looks like.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lost Hearts.
Skye is now cheerfully regurgitating Right Wing talking points in classic DbD incoherence. It says a lot that she seems to apply that De Soto's death threats are somehow the result of his party switch, instead of you know, one of the causes.
Of course, the various death threats the cast has uttered don't count. They're just patriotic Muricans, after all.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Canon Alberic's Scrapbook.
This is of course a deliberate misrepresentation of what Schumer is saying, based on Muir and the Twitter poster not understanding how the federal government's distributing of its funds works and ignoring that actions of the House he's praised are responsible for this.
But then, this is the game. Muir must always be angry, and the causes of that anger can be adjusted as needed. If the funds were there, Muir and his ilk would be sputtering about how Real Muricans don't need handouts. Because they are ignorant, pliable, and disingenuous, and they thinks they are knowledgeable, steadfast, and sincere.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Night in King's College Chapel.
As Muir goes full Nazi without even realizing that, yes, this is full Nazi, you have to acknowledge how hard he's finding it to work in Xir these days. They've lost too many times and too pathetically to sustain a plot anymore, while lacking any ability to even theoretically threaten the cast. By any reasonable measure, they should have left the fascist ministate years ago. Doubtless working them into Stock Sitting Soros Cabal is an effort to remedy that, but it runs into the problem that the Cabal only exists to explain how Democrats are decadent and corrupt. It doesn't exist to do anything.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jasper Tudor.
There's something unsettling about Muir regurgitating other people's nonsense, especially because he clearly thinks he's making fantastic points here. His vision of a better world has become the nation divided up into a bunch of petty dictatorships spouting minarchist rhetoric as they pretend they're a freer world. And he doesn't see it. He's that pliable.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the devilfish.
A gun that has been rendered useless and exists only as an impotent symbol of manhood pretending to an aggressive machismo.
Yep, that's Muir all right.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because kablammo.
I'd ask why does the "mayor" of an unincorporated county that occasionally claims to be a sovereign nation needs a PR director, but let's be honest, Redneckistan runs on crazy at the best of times, and gets worse when Muir forgets his own rules. Which happens a lot.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wild night is calling.
Muir apparently has his own definitions for the words 'infantile' and 'grudges'. But then he knows his own bigotry and awfulness are supermature.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I want to take it apart and put it back together.
There's something genuinely grotesque about Muir's sock puppets pretending to talk when they only exist to spout the same line.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Talbot dead.
Muir doesn't need to understand things to know that they're just stupids being stupid, based on the secondhand accounts aimed at chuckleheads like him.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Richard, Duke of York.
It says something that this entire conversation is now about a subject that never came up during it, and was never brought up prior to it.
Then again, Redneckistan continues to be the most baffling storyline/setting Muir's ever produced, so this shouldn't really surprise me.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Philip the Bold.
He's just going on and on about this.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Red Extra Strength.
This is what gives Muir joy. A man who has done a complete 180 on most of his positions, imagining his opponents as weak reeds. Instead of the general distaste for the pardon, with the few defenders largely quietly "Well, can't really blame him for not leaving his son at the mercy of a new DOJ that would be out for blood based on a purely imagined revenge."
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because praline.
In many ways this strip is the demonstration that Muir knows on some level all his insane conspiracy theories about Biden are just nonsense he creates to feel better about himself. Oh he can work himself into a fine lather about it when he feels a need to, but at the basic level, it's just a game. An awful, spiteful game.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cardboard.
You know, this strip really sums up a lot of modern DbD. Muir using the pseudointellectual terms of the manosphere and the Sovereign Citizen movement to wrap up his long standing belief that stupidity and greed will build the superior civilization, provided we marry them with sexism.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Otto Graham.
There's something deeply amusing about the man who used to swear we needed constant wars against the foreign hordes reciting the tankie's catechism these days. Though as Larouche demonstrated, that line has a way of shifting from the glorious truth of the Real True Left to a reactionary rant in very little time.
