It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Bishop Murder Case.
A reminder that Sam was offering to hold Putin's gold in her depository. And that this was when Gunpowder was declaring itself sovereign.
I'm saying this because it amuses me that Muir wants to refer back to a plotline that he seems largely to have decided to sweep under the rug, it should be remembered just how batshit it was.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because let me sleep on it, in your soul kitchen.
...
It's kind of amazing that he'd bring up the "Joe Biden is owned by China" bullshit in THIS plotline.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Warding of Witch World.
The way Muir keeps acting as if the only opposition to all the nakedly illegal, treasonous acts the cast keeps doing would be some sort of secretive conspiracy is downright baffling at times. It underlines his fall into the sovereign citizen territory where his cast all know the secret real laws, and these trump the fake laws that people like the actual government think run things.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because On Wings of Magic.
We move from one pathetic fantasy to another one that is worse because it's actively morally bankrupt and involves fanboying a fascist who's invading another country.
Also, the fantastically incoherent Redneckistan bullion depository returns, likely so it can disappear again in the near future.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oh.
As I keep noting, there is something almost impressive of what a hash he's made of the entire Gunpowder County plotline, where the secession seems to have been completely forgotten for months, until it is suddenly a thing again.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's easier not to be wise and measure these things with your brain.
At this point, the cast more resemble a bunch of redneck superheroes than human beings.
With the addendum that they're superheroes only to Muir and the Peanut Gallery, and rather dim-witted supervillains being cossetted by a writer who won't let them suffer any consequences or face any real opposition from anyone else.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because offense in space.
Muir is sponsoring a crappy treasure hunt.
I see no way this can go badly.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Day of the Daleks.
Goldbuggery, Pinochet fanboying... Muir's been going off the deep end for years, but it's kind of amazing how he's reached the point of absorbing the online fash's preoccupations these days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because lame.
You know, as we watch the madness of the Redneckistan Gold Depository storyline rumble onward, let's consider how sold Muir is on this 'Biden is the puppet of China' angle.
No matter how much reality keeps getting in the way.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gyaos.
This entire currency storyline is going in a deeply weird place.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the monster is getting near to Osaka.
Muir's strange robot fetish just gets weirder and weirder.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Gamera! Gamera!
Ahh, Muir is mixing his misogyny with his smug goldbug conspiracy nut bullshit. How... awful.
Also, that sandwich looks positively disgusting.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you can be my Dixie chicken, and I can be your Tennessee lamb.
Ahh, that bit in any goldbug's ranting where they start suggesting crazy theories about how things really work to make their fantasies possible.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll take that any day.
...
It should be pointed out that in fact bullion-backed currency is exceedingly prone to failing and runs. But then goldbugs don't base their cult on reality, they base it on crazy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because roller coaster! Of love!
As we stare at the latest iteration of the interplay of Muir's sexism, bigotry and awfulness, we see that Muir has jumped on the latest awful reactionary interpretation of the recent mass shooting, because if it lets him attack the LBGTQ+ community, who cares if it contradicts his love of firearms.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she's wearing a wire!
It's not the entire mad scheme to have their own gold-backed currency that he objects to. It's the nudity.
Muir's patriotic family values on display.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wednesday, 3 AM.
We go from Muir's typical blather about the French Revolution to his typical blather about the good and virtuous white guys and their good and virtuous way of life.
And as usual, Muir gives us a fine display of his utter lack of knowledge of the French Revolution--because, yeah, I'm sure that the Jacobins were really upset with the Ancient Regime suggesting they respect the rights of women and minorities--and then tops it by making his virtuous way of life as crass and materialistic as possible. Because nothing says simple men of old virtue like craft beer and expensive single-malt Scotch.
Oh, and stocking up on gold and ammo. Because they're rugged and tough. *snort.*
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flaming telepaths.
It's the unwarranted confidence that hits you--Muir's conviction that he has it all figured out, even as he babbles absolute nonsense that contradicts itself, and that his opponents are utterly inferior in every way.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Aberlour.
This strip raises two interesting points. The first is that it's clear that the only objection the cast (and by extension Muir) has with Putin is he's Russian, the traditional enemy--otherwise, they consider his authoritarian dictatorship laudable. The second is that ongoing question of what exactly does Muir think is going on in Ukraine? He clearly believes something is going on, but what? Does he somehow imagine that all the massive reversals Putin's suffered are fake? I can believe that--Muir's view of reality is distinctly Gnostic these days, where the man boasts constantly that he is not fooled by these lying facts--but even so, he must believe something is happening in Ukraine. Is it a 'actually Putin is winning', or 'actually, Putin shall soon unleash his full strength', or does Muir keep it in a quantum state where his idea of the Russo-Ukrainian War is pure vibes?
I suppose we'll see.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't you know me, I'm your native son.
...
It's kind of impressively loopy that Muir imagines some dismal little rural border county could produce a functioning autarky. But then we've been in Galt's Gulch territory for a while.
