It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the slug.
For a man who loves to insist his opponents are just clowns repeating things they don't understand, well...
Just look at all that.
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 slug.
For a man who loves to insist his opponents are just clowns repeating things they don't understand, well...
Just look at all that.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because all over you.
...
Muir is hitting new levels of deluded self-parody.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because hold your head up, hold your head up, hold your head high.
I will say this, Newsom is the first person Skye is "interviewing" that would be dumb enough to accept her offer.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Smiley Smile.
...
There's something so fascinatingly pathetic about Muir constantly insisting that his foes are always and forever losing and on fire.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you got the teeth of the Hydra upon you.
The reminder that Muir doesn't want us to bomb Iran because he thinks those bombs should be used on domestic targets gets pretty flippin' stark.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a little show called 'Three's Company'!
Of course, it's been well over two centuries since Washington said that, but things don't change! That's why we still use medicinal bleedings for the flu, just like Washington did!
And with that said, Muir's been dwelling on these two chuckleheads for so long, I'm half convinced he's going to name them and turn them into regulars. They've already got the vile politics down.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Boston Beaneaters!
That's the thing with fascists when they take the isolationist stance. They'll always remind you, oh, yes, they are fascist.
Also, as usual it doesn't take much for Muir to regain his faith in Trump, even if it's clearly a lot more fragile than it used to be.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because strawberry peach.
It's somehow so on-brand that even when Muir almost makes a decent point, he still stumbles on the particulars and tosses in a couple examples from his Rightosphere past that don't really fit.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that's Chairy!
As encouraging as it is to see Muir attacking Trump for betraying Muir's newly-held isolationist views, one has no guarantee it will last. And the other thing of course is that Muir holds these views in conjunction with (indeed, in support of) absolutely abysmal policies both foreign and domestic.
Which is my way of saying, I fully expect him to pull an antisemitism.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because lightning strikes again!
I think this strip might just have hit DbD's record of not aging well. Even by this thing's standards.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because every napkin is a love letter.
Add Billy Wilder and Marilyn Monroe to the list of dead people who deserve a chance at punching Muir.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Shia Surprise!
I see we've hit this time in the begging bowl period again.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Family Plot.
Even when Muir takes a stance that isn't out and out morally bankrupt, he does it in a way that is ignorant, arrogant, and ultimately repugnant.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Frenzy.
You just know after creating that blood and soil filth, Muir's going to be explaining how the Left are the real racists, and also Nazis, in the near future.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Topaz.
One wonders why he objects to the Taliban at all. And then you remember, oh, yes, the envelope test.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Torn Curtain.
This is how Muir interprets 'No Kings'. Just another excuse for him to whine about we just don't appreciate white guys like him who do all the stuff that keeps civilization running. Mind you, Muir doesn't actually do any of it, but he's sure he could. He's a white guy after all.
I leave you with images of Muir's imaginary white saviors all dying of exposure on Mars as their AI sexbots babble nonsense about generic Viagra.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Marnie.
It's not just the viciousness that gets you, it's the stupidity. This is a man proud of his own wretchedness, and boastful of his idiocy, whose response to being called a fascist is to prove the accusation completely correct.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Birds.
You know, one fascinating part of Sam's expansion pack past has been the ever-increasing number of incidents back in Japan where we keep hearing all this endless talk of Skye and Sam being bullied in some way that supposedly proves Muir's wretched worldview. Not only is it tiresome, but it's starting to remind me of the words of that great fictional lawman Raylan Givens, "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Psycho.
Ah, yes, Muir dresses up in patriotism and has the cast that unilaterally seceded last year scream that they love the country.
And also tyranny. Which is the best sort of freedom to their mind.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because North by Northwest.
I don't know what amuses me more, Muir turning on the Techbros he's come to exalt on a subject that he rightfully sees as threatening his bottom line, albeit in the craziest most unhinged way possible, or him finding a way to blame California for it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Vertigo.
Muir getting on his high horse while wallowing. It happens a lot, but this time is extra-blatant.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Wrong Man.
This is literally all Muir can say about Ukraine's attack on Russia's airfields. "My cast did it first with magitech! Also boobies!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).
I think we're close to a decade of Muir noting that it's taking him longer and longer to reach his goal in the fundraiser, and he neither tries a different method of raising funds, nor tries to figure out why his audience is diminishing.
Also, damn it, is that pirate argot downright joyless. Most people have fun with that bit, but Muir, he's the guy trying to show how cool and with it he is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Trouble With Harry.
Seldom has a man revealed so much oddness so casually over such a span of days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because To Catch a Thief.
It's funny to have the abandoned 'Sam as Mayor' plotline pop up again, because while part of what likely ended it was Muir's ever-increasing sexism and misogyny, another part seems likely to have been the simple fact that he had no idea what to do with the plot any more.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Rear Window.
It's fascinating that Muir has remained more faithful to the idea that Putin can surely be talked around to things than Trump has.
Then again, Putin hasn't been actively humiliating Muir.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dial M for Murder.
Muir has two modes these days, claiming that he's living under a hideous dictatorship whenever a Democratic government is in office, and calling for a hideous dictatorship whenever a Republican is in power.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I Confess.
...There's something quietly astounding in how completely unfocused Muir is five months into Trump 2.0. It is, at heart, the same problem that he had the first time around, but multiplied. He has predicted triumph and been granted farce. DOGE unwound even as he was proclaiming it the bee's knees. The war in Ukraine that he kept insisting was just a Democrat grift has... well, kept going. The bill to keep Trump's worthless tax cuts may be advancing, but it's also a toxic stew where the GOP decided that yes, yes, they were going to stick their hand in the pot of boiling water. And so we keep switching between things like this and Muir looking for things to complain about.
Anything to distract him from stupid reality.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Strangers on a Train.
...That is truly the strangest 'some of my best friends are...' that this strip has ever produced.
And it's produced plenty of strange ones.
