"Clearly The Average American Shares My Rage!"

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because, yes, I know, the quality of these has been shaky of late. Can you imagine doing over thirty of these a day for weeks on end while trying to minimize repeats? That's why I'm writing this blog and you're reading it. Trust me, it's not easy. But I stick with it, because I'm pretty obsessive and downright crazy when you get to it.

And once again, Muir demonstrates his independence by getting mad at the latest outrage his right-wing masters wave in front of his face. What a free-thinker.

Just Being Named 'Steve McQueen' Makes You Cool!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because the PLANET OF DEATH!

Once again Skye fulfills her role of stupid punching bag to her sister.

...

...

Yeah. I know. Muir really likes her to be on the receiving end, doesn't he?

All Hail The New Chosen One!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because every day it's a little closer.

Yeah. We were founded on opposition to socialism. A political philosophy created AFTER the birth of this nation. Yep.

"Yes, The Principles Of Fascism--Caring For One Citizens, And Avoiding Wars Of Aggression!"

 It's All Our Yesterdays! Because a hey hey hey!

There's always something chilling about watching Muir explain how the Dems are totally Fascists in this ponderous pseudo-intellectual way.

Yep! More Abuse Jokes! It's Funny!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because fakjfoiewanvnaon nvaohfoenan aovaoehn!

...

Muir, you ARE human garbage. I hope you know that.

"I Wish We Could Spoon, Under The Light Of The Moon..."

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because I don't go much higher!

You know, the reason I kept joking about Sam's apparent lesbian desire for Palin during the campaign was really quite simple--because Muir can't write different characters well, he gave Sam HIS FEELINGS for Palin, resulting in the amusing spectacle of a middle-aged conservative woman with the hard-on most middle-aged conservative MEN had for her. And Muir being completely oblivious to the subtext he was thus crafting in the story--that was just the icing on the cake. In a way, it was a good example of everything that goes wrong with Day By Day, thanks to Muir's utter dearth of talent and self-awareness.

I'm just glad that Muir gave me another chance to comment on it. But it's kind of like boxing with a spastic--you're sure to get plenty of openings.

Haw! Abusive Relationships Are Funny!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because just keep your love light burning.

"Boy, those evil liberal men don't know the right way to treat a woman. That's why they're dangerous. Not like wise conservative men."

"What? What do you mean the fact that I wrote this strip says something about me? That's ridiculous! You sound just like a woman!"

Maybe They'll Meet Machiavelli's Ghost...

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because Samson et Delila.

So, Muir's characters act much as we would expect Muir to when travelling abroad--like arrogant American tourists. Joy.

Amazing How Often They Have Political Discussions While Dressing, Eh?

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because you didn't see me.

The Liberal media are his slaves! That's why they don't automatically agree with everything we say!

"Also, They're Ugly! And They Smell Bad!"

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because Dinah blow your horn!

Umm... right. Says the guy who backed every course of action that led us to our present difficulties, and refuses to acknowledge them.

A Biden Joke. Brilliant.

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because SAFFRON!

Of course, what does that make Sarah Palin, one does have to ask?

Pickles MUST DIE!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because McHale's Navy!

Notice how a lot of what bugs Sam and Zed is other people and things not immediately doing what they want?

So--They Live In Florida Then? Maybe?

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because exterminate! EXTERMINATE!

Yeah. I'm going to ignore that massive stream of vomit where Muir demonstrates his bigotry and sense of entitlement to wonder--do we have confirmation of the state this takes place in now? Or should I take this as dream sequence weirdness?

POSTSCRIPT--It's kind of fascinating, looking back on it, how little Florida mattered as a setting in the Mystery Business(TM) and Transition Eras, when you consider how much we get Texas rubbed in our faces.

Yeah. That's What She Said.

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because he's a six.

Seeing as they've been taken over by whiny, self-indulgent douchebags who think they're being tough by demanding other people die, and other people starve, and racist faux-confederates who talk about overthrowing the government as if they could do it on their lunchbreak, I'm afraid we're going to have to say the best days of that flag have come and gone.

Bravo, Muir. Bravo.

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because licorice sticks!

"Laughing at our display of self-important ignorance is proof of how childish you are! The fact that we chose an extremely embarrassing euphemism as our rallying cry means NOTHING! Also, you suck!"

"We Want Them To Stop Supporting Us! So We Can Die Like The Dogs We Are!"

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because Hail Freedonia!

Does Muir realize those wars he likes so much cost money? A lot of it? That being against spending that shores up our economy while being for spending that weakens it is--REALLY FUCKING STUPID?

"How Dare They Call Us Racist Hicks! We's Upset About The Darkie President Is All!"

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because FANCY FEAST!

Yeah. Charming. Chris Muir. Master of subtlety.

Ha! Ha! What A Freak!

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because doodoodoodoodoo.

BEARS!

Cicero. The ROMAN LAWYER.

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because chew, chew, chew, it's good for you.

The man who joined a reactionary conspiracy against Caesar that backfired, a man who later said of the boni party that the only good thing about them was their cause? That Cicero? That's your hero?

Jesus, Muir, ACTUALLY READ HISTORY. It might just surprise you.

Yep. 300,000. In A Nation Of 300,000,000.

It's All Our Yesterdays! Because gunmetal grey.

"Well, Sam, you're an obstructionist twit arguing meaningless talking points, and insisting that we not fix serious problems who's trying to pass off pseudo-informed nonsense and outright lies as meaningful discussion."
