He Doesn't Need To Understand Things.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Malice of Inanimate Objects.

As we get the usual Muir blather and projection--remember how this man has spent the past two and a half decades blaming an assortment of Democrats for everything--there is one interesting aspect to this. That first bit, while almost certainly a bullshit Right Wing internet rumor, involves the sort of complicated decision that most governments face regarding environmental factors. And Muir naturally dismisses this as idiocy because he just can't imagine that yes, people do have to figure out how to manage natural resources. He's reached a position of completely useless contrarianism on this, where he doesn't even have a proposal, just him whining 'nuh-uh!' and then snickering.

Not that he's better on most subjects, mind you.

See? They Like It!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Experiment.

Every now and then, the essentially masturbatory nature of this strip comes to forefront in a non-softcore strip.

Muir Knows A Repressive Sexist Theocracy Would Be Great, And That Bigoted Men Running Things Would Solve All Problems.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wailing Well.

Watching Muir segue from last strip's 'wimmenz is to blame!' to missing the point of The Handmaid's Tale is a surprisingly 'nod along' moment--this is all, well, what you'd expect from Muir. About the only interesting aspect of this strip is a surprise appearance of 'Foil Sam', those rare occasions I've mentioned where Sam actually takes a different position from Zed so that a strip can have a back and forth discussion. It seems particularly odd here, because Sam's been happily making these sorts of statements herself in recent years.

No, Muir, It's Climate Change.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Rats.

Muir and his fellow troglodytes sneer at women who are actually putting their lives on the line to fight this disaster, and insist that somehow they are to blame.

Because Muir is a weak man who thinks he's strong, and a fool who thinks he's wise.

He's Really Straining For That Punchline.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because There Was a Man Dwelt By a Churchyard.

To Muir it's racist for the cops to shoot White people committing violent crimes. Provided they're fascists, mind you.

I think it's implicit that them shooting not-White people for just about anything is fine.

They Are Just Asking Questions. Honest.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because An Evening's Entertainment.

What reason could a Black police officer to shoot a White woman smashing through a window with an armed mob behind her besides racism is all he's asking.

It's just one huge ask.

It's Gonna Be A Long Four Years.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Warning to the Curious.

My consolation to all the loud insisting of how righteous January 6th was is the section of the public that has been trying to memory hole it will fail to because of that, and will come to realize, first gradually, and then all at once,  just what they've allowed to rule over them.

Hugo's Argentine Childhood Has Helped Him Grow Up A Good Little Hitler Youth, I See.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Neighbor's Landmark.

As opposed to his sister, Hugo seems to be pure hivemind, blithely repeating Muir's vision of the collapsing Blue States, racist drivel, and of course, his nonsense understanding of what socialism and capitalism are.

Muir Vindicating Himself.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Uncommon Prayer-book.

I know I've said this before, but there's something quietly amusing about how Muir has his straw lefties vindicate EVERY single thing he whines about. Right down to what's on TV.

Skye's Politics Have Changed. She Has Not.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Haunted Doll-House.

Muir's constant declarations of superiority to things like the NYT have the air of someone ranting about getting over their ex sometimes.

And That Immediately Makes Up For Years Of Neglect!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Two Doctors.

It says something that Muir's efforts to make the "reformed" members of his cast more likable in his eyes invariably make them worse.

You Know She Thinks She's The Fun Aunt.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance.

I'm going to try and enjoy Muir writing Eva here as a character, as pretty soon she's just going to be yet another hivemind member.

Though as usual, Sam is reminding us all how awful she is.
