It's the Day's Day of Days! Because J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.
The contempt for women this comic has just rolls off every strip these days.
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 J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.
The contempt for women this comic has just rolls off every strip these days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ninja Captor (disputed).
I've seen the theory that at least part of the reason for the bizarre misogynistic tangent the Right has taken on the Trump assassination attempt is because seeing that the loose control on guns can hurt them, with the attempted assassin not showing any real ideological motives has left them desperately trying to avoid dealing with reality and falling back on the only Right wing saw that will even roughly fit the circumstances.
In Muir's case, it fits.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
Given something that almost anyone could make a decent political cartoon about...
Muir produces this.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Gavv.
You know it's not even what a shambles this strip is--it's the extent to which it seems almost completely unwilling to deal with anything that's happening right now, as if Muir's brain has just shut down in regards to present developments and he's just tossing out bits from older strips until he can get reorientated.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Gotchard.
It's downright painful how half-assed this all is.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Geats.
...
...
Well, if people want to pay for this shit, I suppose that's their business.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Revice.
There's so much that is odd about this strip, like the fact that it feels like it was written about a week ago, to the fact that Mari's got the cold eyes of a killer in it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Saber.
...
This one's going to drag on for a while, I see.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Zero-One.
Again, his inability to realize that this shows he's doing something wrong sums him up so well.
Along with all the sleaze.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Zi-O.
Again, the WWII theme just seems painfully ironic at this point.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Build.
There's something ironic about this latest begging bowl pitch wrapping itself up in the traditional thin veneer of patriotism, and running out before it ends.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
Every year it takes longer, because he needs a little more and the people willing to pay are a little fewer.
And he just doesn't seem to connect the dots.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Ghost.
...The extent to which Russian Guyovitch and wife push the Kremlin line these days is surely a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Drive.
It says a lot that Donald Trump is what Muir imagines selfless service to the nation looks like.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Gaim.
...
One has to give Muir this--he will keep a bad idea going even as it hits new levels of awful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Wizard.
...
You know, this one somehow gets so much worse when it sinks in.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Fourze.
It's astonishing that Muir's incoherent pop culture strips and his incoherent politics have only gotten more so. He paints Biden as both the doddering old fool and the dangerous evil overlord simultaneously, even as they undercut one another, and he tosses out the crazy word salad conspiracy theory about the assassination attempt.
I've noted this before, but the big difference in outlook from the strip's start and its present is that Muir's outlook was triumphalist at that point. Muir viewed Democrats as criminal scum, but fundamentally weak criminal scum. Now they are the secret puppet-masters. He was always delusional, but when he thought he was winning, he was convinced that he could never lose. The simple fact that a loss happened began the spiral into a new delusion of eternal oppression, based in part because what Muir wanted in compensation for having lost once was vile nonsense he could never get.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider OOO.
And once again, we see that Muir just can't handle reality these days. He immediately has to start tossing on conspiracy theories and false connections because a world where someone takes a shot at Trump just isn't exciting enough for him. No, there has to be a bigger conspiracy at play here. To be fair, plenty of people on the Left are losing their minds over this, but well... that's understandable, even if regrettable. Muir is putting up the murderboard for a story that he should be crowing about as is. Because, once again, that's where the strip is now.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider W.
As unpleasant as all this is, we all know it's going to get so much worse tomorrow.
But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider G.
The begging bowl gets weirder and more awful every year.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Decade.
The thing that gets quietly lost in Muir's triumphalism is this actually undermines his entire 'Biden is just a puppet of the REAL interests' conspiracy, as well, none of what's happening actually fits that outline. But hey, everyone is now declaring Biden too old, finally, so he'll just crow he was right and ignore reality. Muir's pretty used to that, at this point.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Kiva.
So, Zed is apparently going teach the spawn about the ZOG and how the government owns legal persons I assume...
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Den-O.
Muir crows triumphantly about Giorgia Meloni, head of the Fascist-descended Brothers of Italy--who most assuredly is Prime Minister of Italy--and Geert Wilders, whose party is part of the ruling coalition in the Netherlands, and the significantly less successful Marine Le Pen, who just watched her party's chances of controlling the French legislature go up in smoke, and Nigel Farage, who has finally entered Parliament on his eighth try, heading a party with five MPs including himself.
That party is part of the opposition to the new Labour government with a massive majority. So, yes, Muir is declaring the Right victorious worldwide using very broad definitions of victory.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Kabuto.
That this comes from deep within the bowels of Florida's retirement communities only adds to the pain.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Hibiki.
It sure has been a thing, watching Muir go full sovereign citizen, and spouting ever increasing amounts of their pseudohistory.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Blade.
There's always something so depressing when Muir references these comic greats he imagines as heroes when his work is a mass of hackery they'd all decry if they could see it.
Especially Walt Kelly, whose politics were well into what Muir would label 'leftist commufascist' territory.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider 555.
An ad that demonstrates how awful the product it's selling you is in every conceivable way. And the Peanut Gallery probably see that as proof of how deeply badass it is. And how smart they are to buy several.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Ryuki.
You know, there's something about how the cast only seem to get more into doing treason the longer things go on.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Agito.
...
Muir's fantasies of his cast interacting with the powerful have gotten actively repulsive of late, instead of merely pathetic.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Kuuga.
Muir continues his eternal descent into further awfulness. It's like clockwork. And that picture of Putin is like waxwork. *rimshot*
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider J.
The ongoing incoherence of Muir's views on the war in Ukraine remains one of the most unsettling parts of his politics. Muir clearly doesn't know what's going on there, and he doesn't care. Just so long as there's a wrong side, he's on it.
