It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Miracle Rider.
There is something grim and joyless in how Muir tries to use shit like this to make himself out the fun guy, when he actually comes across as the bitter, brittle racist whinging about he can't use slurs anymore and that sucks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom Empire.
Another desperate flailing effort by Muir to avoid the fact that the administration he painted as the broom that would wipe things clean is in fact pure corruption. As usual, whenever Muir has something close to an argument--there exist truly dire people who have contributed to the Democrats--he overeggs the pudding by throwing in actual slander--the 'Schiff was an active participant in Buck's gay murder spree' is, well, a Very Online conspiracy theory boosted by the worst people. But again, Muir is pliable and gullible while imagining himself a clear-sighted, iron-willed man.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mystery Mountain.
The other side of Muir checking out... him doing lots of strips about... this stuff.
Again, I'm just so in the weeds on the robot sex. It's weird, but not fun weird, especially as Muir's hypocritical pose of moral censoriousness always pokes its metaphorical head in.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Law of the Wild.
Once again, the extent to which he has just given up at this point is remarkable. He's retreated to the cheap comfort of squatting in the corner and shouting that everyone but him sucks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Burn 'Em Up Barnes.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again--the extent to which Muir has checked out is breathtaking. We get strip after strip of him just whining about how powerless he is, in a Republican trifecta, because nothing is working, and so he has to go extra-heavy on the conspiracy to keep the reality that everything he wants is shit from breaking through.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Lost Jungle.
Sometimes, Muir underlines that he's a crabby, creepy old man trying, in a very half-ass manner, to write characters who are supposed to be young.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Mystery Squadron.
Of course, Muir is going off of bullshit Rightosphere accounts meant to tell nitwits like him that all their prejudices are correct, and all the apparent defeats are just esoteric victories that the uninitiated do not see. But what lurks behind this is that dim awareness that the administration he was praising is failing and unpopular, that the things he thought would be powerful and successful are weak and ineffectual. On top of which, Muir's pose of a rugged patriot is a bad counterfeit, and he's actually a lazy, entitled, bigoted schmuck who resents the country for not being the racist dictatorship he wants, and for demanding anything of him at all. In Muir's head, he ideally is owed everything while owing nothing. And so we get these pathetic little strawmen opponents where when you scrape off the idiotic exaggeration, there's this bitter offense at a government doing anything but be Muir's brand of racist awful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Wolf Dog.
I've noted it multiple times, but Muir's straw leftists get more bizarre and pathetic every year. Partially this is because his own politics have gotten so wretched that he needs ever more ridiculous opponents to make what he wants look good. But another part is the further Muir travels into fascism, the less and less capable he becomes of envisioning good government. Gunpowder is a nakedly criminal tyranny where the power of the state seems to exist only to persecute those the Compound dislikes, and where things are accomplished by fiat. His only way of imagining bad government now is 'the opposite of what I want', and that gets the ridiculous thing he throws out here, a government that is simultaneously tyrannical, and yet also can't do anything, somehow.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Fighting with Kit Carson.
Aside from a confirmation that Muir's audience as as full of Mittyish tendencies as himself, two things are interesting. Firstly, how little Muir's cared about the Maduro operation, which still barely warrants a mention. Secondly, the way that Zed has been notably inactive throughout the second Trump presidency. You'd think Muir would go for the obvious route of having him called into duty to serve ICE, but, no, no, he's needed at home to... do things.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Three Musketeers.
Eva's problem of course is that she's typical of the hivemind--deluded, stupid, bigoted, weak whiny, with the underpinning that she views all these manifest flaws as signs of how clever she is. This is a growing issue for the cast, I'd argue--they spend ever larger amounts of time blubbering about how unfair everything is while simultaneously insisting that they are as tough as nails. A part of me can't help but think that even Muir is starting to have problems writing around his present state of ideological cringing when joined with the ever-present bluster.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Whispering Shadow.
The American Right. Proudly spewing the bullshit of the people the US helped thump but good, because patriotism.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Devil Horse.
I see we've found the one thing that will get Skye to behave like a proper straw liberal again. Blatant Nazi rhetoric. Which gets Muir to get all whiny about why don't anybody respect white people anymore.
Delightful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Hurricane Express.
There is something so wearisome in this pretense of wit, in Muir trying to pretend he isn't saying what he's saying, and imagining he's getting away with it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Last of the Mohicans.
Won't lie, I thought something like this was coming up, but only after Muir would first explain how we mustn't be hasty...
But no, next step is Muir shouting Nazi filth so he can chide those member of the Peanut Gallery who object for being sheeple when they object, because, no, no, he's not being a Nazi, honest, the jackboots and the armband are just for emphasis.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Shadow of the Eagle.
While this all could be Muir starting out one of his patented about-faces, I think Skye is about to tell her daughter that it's too early to tell, can't separate the wheat from the chaff yet, etc.
I just don't think he's ready to move on yet.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Lightning Warrior.
There's something so, so very sad about the late period shout-outs to fans.
While not being sympathetic, mind you. It all just makes me loathe everyone involved even more.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Vanishing Legion.
He says this as accounts of just what vicious thugs the regime's goon squad is circulate. But you, see Muir is offended, because the inferiors weren't supposed to fight back.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Wild.
The reminder that Muir watches things like Star Trek without comprehending them is looking quite pointed now.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom of the West.
We've seen it time after time. The moment Muir's side is facing push back, he starts shouting conspiracy theories and claiming everyone against him is actually a subversive.
Because he's whiny, and once again, he and his project everything, including their own projection.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Lone Defender.
And once again, Muir jumps at the latest ridiculous conspiracy theory and treats it as gospel, all so he can whine how powerless the Right is.
When they have the government.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The King of the Kongo.
It's just extra-amusing that this blatant bullshit where Muir tries to insist that the crook was the hero and the hero was the crook happens shortly after a Texas State Senate seat deep in Trump country flips.
Keep yelling Muir. It will make you feel better.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Fatal Warning.
...It's the projection that gets you, Muir imagining he's just being a witty guy telling it like it is when he's being... well, this.
