It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Airmail Mystery.
I will say this about the Sam/Damon relationship that Muir now pretends sort of happened and that he is writing about in this strange elseworld/dreamworld thing. It's clear on some level that Muir recognizes this was a missed opportunity, and regrets killing it before it ever really started.
So instead he does this clumsy, weird... whatever the hell this thing is. It is still confusing.
POSTSCRIPT--And we get another 'the full Sunday comes in later' strip, and that bottom strip is yet another generic Muir babbles racist nonsense about things. It's astonishing how the larger portion of the strip does less with these things.
This mook thinks he can have it both ways — going down this weird Elseworlds alt-past route, WHILE writing as usual about present-day political figures.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t do that.
If anyone was ever going to inadvertently prove a point that no one would have even thought to imagine would need making, it’s Muir.
It’s like if some construction worker was operating an earth-mover while doing Pilates. Those are two things that can’t be done at the same time, and nobody would think to imagine they could until that construction worker attempted it.
This is one of those occasions where Muir seems to write a brief refresher/introductory lesson for anyone just coming on board (not that any new readers have likely found DBD in years), where he just lays out his entire thesis on how the world works, in CliffsNotes form.
ReplyDeleteOh, man.
ReplyDelete"What is that yellow panel? I can’t figure it out. Squee???"
This is what happens when your audience is increasingly confused old guys. To be fair, Muir's strip is also just plain old confusing.
