It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I wish that one were me.
...
If this strip is about any one thing, it's that people like Muir think they're owning the libs when they convince themselves to do things like declare bad Right wing art great, and endanger their own health by deciding that vaccines are a conspiracy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the rains came.
...
It's been something of a marvel to see Muir's newfound paleocon isolationism become twisted into utter despite towards the nation he imagines he supports.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I like squirrels.
And now Muir is gloating about... a perceived foreign policy failure that is not only based on his misunderstanding of politics but involves him gloating about the US being shown up by states he claims to hate.
His resemblance to the kind of leftist who can praise any dictator, so long as they hate America, is actually kind of amusing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because here, no further.
How dare they make people pay the consequences for plotting right wing coups! Don't they know that the law only protects and does not bind the fash?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Breakfast Tea.
..You know, the awful art speaks for itself on this one, so I'm going to focus on the bizarre legal shenanigans which I'd argue show Muir's ongoing fall into this weird Sovereign Citizen realm. Part of it is just El Dorado Dad being his usual deus ex machina self, but more and more Muir seems to be certain these magic laws exist and can be used to thwart the sinister pretender state.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because poppies will make her sleep.
Just as Muir gets mad about terrible things that aren't happening, so he also cheers about triumphs that never occurred.
It's really kind of sad.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because even cynical members of Generation X.
Apparently he doesn't realize that Shel Silverstein wrote A Boy Named Sue.
It tracks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because you can't fight evil with a macaroni duck.
...
Sometimes the fact that Muir gets incredibly mad about things that aren't happening gets put into sharp focus.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a constant reminder.
Remember when he liked Abbott instead of viewing him as an evil puppet of globalists?
Won't lie, this is kind of like watching scorpions turn on each other.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Paranoia Agent.
As Muir goes all in on his latest nonsense conspiracy theory, I feel obliged to remind everyone that the people talking about Biden being a traitor are heading a secessionist movement while taking foreign capital to keep it afloat.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ever hear the story of the frog who dreamed of becoming a king, and then he became one?
He's been using that version of Sam a lot these days. And it is one ugly drawing even by his standards.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because along came Bronson.
Leaving aside the obvious argle-bargle pseudo-law of Captain Mitty's arguments, let's note that Muir is having his white character torment a Black enemy that he sees as unworthy to hold her position with threats, while pretending to be a ghost.
Not that Muir supports the Klan, of course.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Black Man with a Horn.
Obviously, Muir hasn't even bothered to study the actual charges, because he doesn't need reality harshing his buzz. But it is somewhat indicative of his mindset that Trump being the sort of guy who has servants to do things for him just shows how awesome he is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because SPOOON!
Watching Muir's transform into an isolationist is always made more amusing by the way he just pretends this is how it's always been, and he hasn't done a 180 on the subject.
And could do it all over again, if he decided that the US needs to bomb some brown people.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that's a rock fact.
Muir's vision of immigration runs so opposite to the way it actually works that I don't know what it can actually be compared to. It actually makes 'welfare is the Democrats keeping Blacks on the plantation' seem coherent.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because FIRE ME BOY!
...
There's a certain black comedy in Muir's effort to weasel word it so the statement isn't so bad is clearly nonsense, because Muir doesn't get what words mean, and also doesn't obscure the meaning at all.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that boy ain't right.
As we watch yet another edition of the Feds being so foolish and weak that the cast have nothing to fear, let's note it's amazing how Muir refuses to let masking go. He is no longer under any obligation to do it anywhere, but he is still bitterly insisting that his refusal makes him superior, and that anyone who does it is his inferior.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because if there's anything that you want.
...
A reminder that they are running a secessionist county.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Melmoth the Wanderer.
Putting aside Muir's usual mindless acceptance of whatever nonsense is circulating in the wingnutosphere, and outrage that Far Right Fash have to face consequences for being violent thugs, and you've got the fascinating little bit of how the evil Joe Biden he describes... is pretty much Trump.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Live at the BBC.
The woman who essentially pimped out her daughters says this. But then, the cast's moral rectitude isn't based on action, it's based on just being the cast.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sometimes, we forget to blink.
It's fascinating not only to see the repetition of the stolen election myth, but Muir once again treating El Dorado Dad's utter corruption as a laudable trait.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sri Lanka.
This is a lazy strip, in so many ways.
Though it is always strangely fascinating when Muir's fanboying of Golden Age comics shows up. It's astonishing how little he seems to have picked up from his admiration of past masters of the craft.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Poroth Farm.
Muir understands how these storylines are supposed to work, at least in the abstract, but it's well beyond his ability to write them, much less draw them, so we get this utterly grotesque simulacrums of the thing.
And the cast acting like assholes, because, well, that's their only setting.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ransom paid the devil.
There's a bleak fascination of Muir going full old-school QAnon well after that aspect of the movement has largely died out, being replaced with a more generalized nuttiness. But then, Muir is not infrequently a bit behind the times in following these online right-wing crazes. It's part of the eclectic feel of his own brand of it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my baby takes the morning train.
A reminder that as he is stating the importance of constitutional remedies, he is presently residing in a county that maintains it has unilaterally seceded from the rest of the country, somehow, under the leadership of his wife. But maybe they'll just pretend that didn't happen, or that it didn't mean what it meant, or just insist that this is constitutional.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because there goes my hero.
Yep, this isn't Muir demonstrating the essentially impotent whinging nature of the strip these days acting out pathetic revenge fantasies that can only go so far, because in the end, he can't just change who's the President. Nor is it another demonstration of the laughable, childish wish fulfillment of these scenarios, which are those of a twelve-year old boy, being written by an old man. No, it is all totally badass. Really. *snerk*
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flax.
At this point, the Evil Conspiracy of Evil is so all-encompassing it is essentially 'all of society that isn't paranoid wingnuts, and also, a fair share of the paranoid wingnuts who aren't quite in Muir's camp'.
Which is less a conspiracy, and more just hating everyone.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Pinkie Brown.
As Muir has his imaginary version of himself bitch out his imaginary version of Biden over the imaginary thing that happened to his imaginary daughter due to some imaginary immigrant, let's note that Putin has become a bad guy in the Muirverse again. Man, I can't wait to hear the latest insane bullshit about Ukraine when it comes up. You just know it's going to be utterly bonkers.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Fran Tarkenton.
This is so pathetic, and it's made more pathetic because it thinks it's badass. This is twelve year old boy boasting. This is fat old drunk picking fights because he knows no one actually wants to hit him because it's just not worth it. This is DbD.
It's the Day's Days of Days! Because Magna of Illusion.
Ah, there we go. There's the awful again.
As we watch Muir go gooey for Operation Condor-backed fascism, a reminder that the Dirty War government's great accomplishments, aside from killing thousands of its citizens who were thought to have suspect, anti-dictatorship politics, were destroying the economy of Argentina, and losing a war against Great Britain in a lop-sided fashion.
Clearly, people you want to emulate.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because now in the street there is violence.
...Well, the plotline seems to be taking a breather, and so is giving us the merely bad for a day, doubtless in preparation to dive back into awful in the near future.
