It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Black Coin.
Remember what I said yesterday?
Because if anything, this is worse. Muir is desperately putting his hope that some grand plan, some cagey scheme is going on and soon, SOON, the Democratic Party shall pay! What is it? He doesn't know. But something has to happen, because otherwise, things are looking very grim for his side.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Psycho.
Ah, yes, Muir dresses up in patriotism and has the cast that unilaterally seceded last year scream that they love the country.
And also tyranny. Which is the best sort of freedom to their mind.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Residence at Whitminster.
There's just something bleakly comical about how Muir continues to think Trump is sharp as a tack, and thus doesn't need to be criticized for his age.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because inside outside leave me alone.
You know, now that he's dragging this thing out, I'm wondering if this thing is supposed to be an actual location in universe, instead of simply a metaphorical one the way it usually was in the past.
Once again, Muir's ability to botch premises through artistic incompetence is... a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya.
It's kind of sad how this what Jan and Damon have been reduced to. Making the occasional bad joke over whatever paranoid online drivel Muir has become obsessed with at the moment, just to remind you they're in the strip.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Space Cop Gavan.
You know, as we stare at that... that, it's kind of fascinating how divorced Muir is from the 2024 presidential campaign. He was barely checked in for most of 2020, and now... he's somehow even less engaged. Muir's ongoing retreat from the real world started in the second Obama term and accelerated throughout the Trump years to land him here. I'm genuinely wondering how much further he can go. A Trump win might perk him up for a little while, but much like happened before, the ensuing shitshow would see him checking out pretty early.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Maho Sentai Magiranger.
A reminder that these jokes started because four years ago Muir swallowed a ridiculous theory about how Biden was on a drug that made him lose bowel control to explain why after insisting why he was going to humiliate himself at the debates, he didn't. Something I'm not even sure Muir remembers.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger
Ahh, look it. Stock poses! Cheap shots! And a plotline fapping around because Muir has no idea how to wrap it up. Sometimes Muir really underlines how he has no idea what he's doing, not the least shred of competence despite having kept at this for over two decades.
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 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 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 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 Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue.
Sam's literally got naked pictures on the town's Monopoly money currency, so how is this shocking?
Or does that even exist anymore? Redneckistan exists in such a bizarre state these days, along with everything else.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Black RX.
There was a time when an event like the debate would have merely gotten smug gloating from Muir. Now it's smug gloating filtered through an indecipherable jargon that sees anything that isn't bigotry as evil.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider V3.
As we segue into yet another plot we don't care about, let us consider the steady dullness of Muir's buying every story and meme that he's handed by the Right Wing Noise Machine.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Gaia.
The return of Muir's 'Biden is just a senile puppet' idee fixe is the last bit that was at least intelligible, before we veer off into one of those downright surreal bits of babble that you know made sense to Muir when he wrote them.
With nightmarish drawing to match.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because maybe you can show me how to love.
So after noting how the Grey Lady is going after Biden, he assumes they won't, because they're still party of the insidious conspiracy.
Because nothing the designated targets do redeems them.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fresh fish.
The rules of Muir's byzantine leftist conspiracy change regularly so that whatever is happening at any given moment is just the conspiracy doing its thing.
Even if, again, suddenly the people who were partners are now acting against each other. In essence, Muir has to have a Kremlinology for everything because reality keeps refusing to act in the manner his paranoid delusions insist it will.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because and the inside jukebox goes out just like thunder.
It's clearly going to take Muir a while to get his jollies out of this scenario. Again, Muir's imagined deep state is simultaneously powerful enough to steal elections, but weak enough to quiver in fear at the idea of an uprising.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I love that dirty water.
Of course, in the film, the President is implicitly Muir's sort of person, but that doesn't matter. He just wants to see the Nation burn.
For he is such an unvarnished patriot.
