It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bodies Piled Up.
Oddly enough, I'd say this strip underlines why Muir's having such a hard time dealing with the Kirk assassination. Muir loves the idea of being always under attack, but there must be no real threat there--the inferior Left exists only to do the most dastardly thing and be thwarted. Effortless victory is guaranteed. But Kirk's death is a grim reminder that this imagined guarantee does not exist. Kirk built his entire career on the illusion of it and the myth of the grim persecution that he and people like Muir like to imagine they face. But insisting that gun deaths are a sacrifice we must pay for the armed society doesn't keep you from being one, and irony will not shield you from actual violence.
That's an idea Muir hates, and so he's doing his best not to think about it.
“Boolets”???
ReplyDeleteReally? That’s how hamfisted the twins’ “Texas” dialect is getting?
That’s almost enough to make me miss the golly-gee 1930s comic-strip talk.
Also…is that punchline meant to be a sex joke? (I know it’s an in-joke reference to the old “where does Sam hide her gun” thing.)
I honestly think it's sort of a combo platter at this point, 1930s comics kids blending with this goofy exaggerated 1930s comics Southerners.
DeleteI also think it's supposed to be robot potty humor, but, let's be honest, Muir's robot jokes just go in a weird direction that is tough to track.
