Muir Insists Up Is Now Down, And Always Has Been.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Son of Zorro.

Interesting bit. Even though I commented on how Muir was quietly reiterating that he is true-true for now last time, I have to note that Jo/Trump's list of "accomplishments" aren't quite the same this time. I suspect most of this is the developing situation--Muir is as eager to declare victory as Trump, but much less able to--and some is Muir's developing oddities.

Watching Muir Decide Just What Brand Of Crazy He Is.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Crimson Ghost.

Through an incredible coincidence, I actually know the online conspiracy theory Muir's referencing, the infamous "Short Trump" theory, and it suggests he's breaking with the likes of Teddy Beale for a little while at least. But as he is still swimming in the waters of other crazy conspiracy theories and shouting that up is down and defeat is victory, who knows how long before he changes his mind on that.

Again, if there's one thing Muir's proven while insisting just the opposite, it's that he's one pliable, gullible man.

POSTSCRIPT--What I assume was tomorrow's strip originally went online at the same time in what was a very confusing manner. The malfunctions keep piling up.

All America Needs Is A Magitech-Creating Whiz Kid!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Daughter of Don Q.

I swear, this is like how in Atlas Shrugged, Galt's Gulch works because somehow, they've invented stuff that breaks Newton's First Law.

Muir Listens To The Sage-Like Discourse Of Whiskey Pete.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Forest Rangers.

There's something grotesque about watching Muir recast Kegsbreath as his idea of a sophisticated military thinker, especially as that idea isn't actually that, but a bad parody of it, spouting ideas Muir's gotten second or third hand while failing to understand.

That  it includes Muir's typical "Inferior Blue States! They are not true Murican!" drivel just makes it worse.

His Imaginary Self Talking To His Imaginary Version Of The President Will Ease His Mind About What's Real.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom Rider.

Man, at the bottom of it all, this is just sad.

I mean, there's a lot of clutter here. We see Muir celebrating the Trump Administration's elevation of crudity and sexism, him talking about how look how him attacking Federal agencies and alliances is good, great, so amazing. Because he's locked himself in a hermetic bubble and thinks this drivel is patriotism. But the doubts are still there, and have if anything grown worse. Note that they've spread from Sam, who remember as his feminized Id is supposed to be saying things that his toxic masculinity sees as too emotional, to Zed, his idealized self, the version who is supposed to be him as he wishes was. He's supposed to feel that it's worth staying the course.

And so we get this strip of Zed talking about how he needs reality to see through the fake things online.

Ignoring that he and this strip are... fake things online.

Going To A High Society Soiree With The President, As One Does.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Purple Monster Strikes.

Ahh, Muir's cast is going to have a chat with the imaginary version of Trump they're sort of friends with. I expect an epic attempt at squaring the circle.

Muir's simultaneous hatred of and longing to belong to the upper class explains so much of his character. Especially when you add in that his political stance, with its lack of any belief in economic justice, leaves him muttering how he knows that obviously, he doesn't resent their wealth, oh no, that's totally okay.
