It's the Day's Day of Days! Because catch bull at four.
This strip is the pathetic, ridiculous boast of a pathetic, ridiculous man.
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 catch bull at four.
This strip is the pathetic, ridiculous boast of a pathetic, ridiculous man.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if I live to see the seven wonders, I'll make a path to the rainbow's end.
...
...
It's strange how predictable this weirdness has gotten. You never quite know what incoherent nonsense Muir is going to unleash on his inferior goons, but you always know it will be bizarre.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dusty Springfield.
You know this is barely a strip, which makes the padding both obvious and obnoxious.
But hey, Muir sure is showing his fictional version of President Biden, isn't he?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Moon over Parador.
You know, the last year saw Muir become completely unmoored from reality, his strips shifting to attacking not a nonsense version of the world, but a nonsense world with no real relation to what was happening in the real one. The preoccupations of the lunatic right sphere guided these happenings but were distorted themselves as Muir tried to make them fit into the increasingly misshapen deluded world he was constructing for himself. And meanwhile, with less and less need to consider the opinions of others, Muir's work drifted even further into his diseased blend of sexist misogyny.
And that lead us to this. Muir draws this strip, and says Biden's the pervert.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spackle.
It's the levels of failure that stand out here, from missing the point of Apocalypse Now, to Muir's desire to have his cast threatened butting up against his desire to paint his foes as fools, to him ignoring just how many laws his merry band of racists have broken...
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't worry about the army in the cold, cold ground.
...
It says a lot that Muir's paranoid xenophobic nationalism has not only proven completely useless against an actual foreign enemy, but it has in fact turned into a de facto servitude towards said enemy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the great speckled bird.
I see that The Big Lebowski is among the many movies Muir doesn't really get, but thinks he does.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if I lose the flower of England, I shall lose the branch too.
Muir has to imagine his enemies are degenerates worse than him and his allies.
This is getting harder and harder.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because they call him Ragtime Willy.
It has been kind of remarkable watching the Right declare first the CIA and then the FBI as disloyal traitor organizations, though Muir's completely nonsensical numbers are still alarming enough to take any joy out of it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we love everybody, but we do as we please.
So many complexes on display here, all at once.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she moves like an angel, and seven evening stars move through the windows of her universal house.
It's always kind of astounding to see the projection involved with this. Muir will ignore genuine debacles for Republican administrations while repeating second-hand stories about relatively minor things he's heard as if they are major scandals and gospel truth.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the ragged edge of anarchy.
One doesn't want to rag on a child, no matter how unpleasant the adult they become is, but dear lord, everything about that picture screams 'schoolyard bully'. It's the combination of the lack of a smile and the rather arrogant demeanor. Obviously, there's a certain level of bias on my part, but I don't think I would be favorably inclined to the child in this picture even if I didn't know who he was.
And of course, the fans will coo, to try and fool themselves that they have empathy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm a two-penny prince, and I give her hot love, uh-huh.
The levels of crazyfail in the last few strips has been something other than else. Alongside the levels of creepywrongbad.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we're going to the end of the line.
...
The worst part of Muir's conspiracy theories these days is how completely devoid they are not only of sense but any sort of ties to reality.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Hounds of Love.
...
That sound you're hearing is the twins' failing being real girls forever. Or maybe any non-lunatic reading this throwing up.
Fifty-fifty, I reckon.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because when you smile and it tears your face, it's time for the inhuman race.
Every fascist knows it's the greatest tyranny imaginable to make them, and only them, do anything they don't want to.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ray Milland is Nick Beal.
...
As baffling and pointless as all this is, at least it's not nauseating and hateful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle.
Muir's only doing all this to protect his imaginary daughters who he's aged up so that he can draw them nude.
Why do you liberal filth make him do this?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because noisemaker.
...
This entire plotline--hell, the entire element of the damned robots--hasn't just gone into the weeds, it's fallen off a cliff. It makes no sense and serves no purpose.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because corn in the field.
...It's like he just realized how crazy he sounds.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the speckled grouse.
It's levels of wrongness here that gets you, from the art that is awful on every level to the history that gets everything deliriously wrong (who knew that Andrew Jackson was communist?). It's as if Muir had to highlight just how badly he's degenerated in every way in one strip.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because astronomy.
By itself, this would just be sad. The addition of the twins is what makes it truly vile.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I can't get to you and your garden gate.
It's kind of fascinating that you can see even Muir is getting bored with this shit.
And yet after years upon years of it, it never occurs to him that maybe it's a sign that he's doing something wrong.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because get up, Jake.
Muir will cheerfully defend any awful people, so long as they're his awful people.
But then, he proved that a lot over the Trump years, didn't he?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sweet cherry wine.
It's fascinating that Muir's efforts to prove he's not racist always make him seem exceptionally racist.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I met a little girl in Knoxville, a town we all know well.
If Muir was listening to anybody but the small circle of rabid fans who would applaud pictures of roadkill, this storyline wouldn't be happening.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Little Red Corvette.
It says something that this plotline moving to merely being incredibly awful is an improvement.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Marc Bolan died too young.
...
Well, that definitely happen.
And it can't unhappen.
Even if Muir decides to pull a dream sequence on us.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we stand accused, Peyote Rouge, of being hellbound.
...
...
Sometimes I suspect Muir has lost track of how his strip works.
Other times, I know.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mr. Nimbus controls the police.
It says something that Muir no sooner mentions the behavior that he feels shows Hunter Biden to be reprobate that he has the cast reveal they engage in it so he can brag about imaginary him's imaginary penis.
