It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Iron Test.
...
Sometimes, the sheer breadth and depth of Muir's hypocrisy gets to you.
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 The Iron Test.
...
Sometimes, the sheer breadth and depth of Muir's hypocrisy gets to you.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Congo.
Every now and then, Muir makes a cartoon that underlines there's a tiny part of him, somewhere, that knows he's a fucking parody of humanity hating on people who are better than him, and desperately telling himself that the absolute garbage he's allied with are the champions he's saying they are no matter how many times they keep demonstrating that nope, wrong again.
And that tiny part makes the part of him that honestly believes this bullshit worse.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Deadwood Dick.
...
He pulls this one as Trump tries to set up a slush fund and ban the IRS from looking into his family funds, and oh, yes, has the entire war with Iran going on.
...
Ugh.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Flying Disc Man From Mars.
Four straight days of this.
Four straight days of the twins sitting on a fence, blathering like a couple of hicks--because that shows how AUTHENTICALLY redneck they are, natch--about how rural good, city bad.
Let's see if he makes a whole week of it, or we get something else happening in the days ahead.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Lone Ranger Rides Again.
And Muir once again indulges in this bathetic whining, insisting that the only reason electing an incompetent, clownishly corrupt narcissist hasn't worked out is some evil conspiracy, and insisting that his people don't really control things, and also, all his opponents are pedophiles.
All of which is a bit much in the present circumstances.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because tell me did you see her?
The thing that strikes me is 'imagine if he depicted Sam doing this to a synagogue,' but let's be honest, after the last few days, that might actually happen one of these days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she wants to be loved by you, and only you.
There's always something wretched when we get another look at Muir's awful brainless, virtueless Christianity. And using it to announce that he isn't an antisemite because Jesus...
Ugh.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day.
...
Muir is apparently confusing the religion of Hinduism with the ethnicity of South Asian Indian, as obviously, no, no Hindus are Muslims, but yes, some Indians are.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Magic Bracket.
Sadly for John Blood, he doesn't realize that in DbD, villains can only fail, and not be as clever as the main cast.
And that last bit is tough, because the main cast are so fucking stupid.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because my TVC-15.
Won't lie, I'm waiting for Muir to start letting Holocaust denial seep in at this point.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Gutting of Couffignal.
I know I keep commenting how pathetic this is, but, well, that's because it's so very pathetic.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dead Yellow Women.
...You know the layers of awful here are kind of impressive, like a sort of parfait of insane bullshit. Muir's unsettling ideas of how parenthood should function giving way casually to his batshit conspiracy theories about the Evil Conspiracy of Evil.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Whosis Kid.
...
My Favorite Martian did this sort of plot with more depth and thoughtfulness.
Ahh, man, now I've made myself sad about Ray Walston. And he's been dead for over twenty years now.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mike or Alec or Rufus.
So there are three major things to unpack in this--first of course, is Muir's always self-righteous version of God-bothering, where bigotry and awfulness are part of what mark you as the chosen and where you are being so persecuted, man, for this, which shows you're a For Real And True Christian.
The second is how this is a good example of the Romans' weird status in Muir's Right Wing Pop History mind. They're to be respected, some of the time, because Western Civilization, but only some of the time, because the Decadence, and also, Bad to Christians. In essence, they don't get the love the Spartans get, because Muir doesn't see them doing That One Cool Thing.
The third, of course, is that Muir's still trying to make Teeter a thing.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Columbo Who Cries Wolf.
As we watch Muir produce... this, aside from the vanity and the tendency to show off his owns spiritual wretchedness when he thinks he's showing his piety, what gets you is how miserable he is. He's already complaining again. Because damn it, the US still isn't racist enough for him.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Murder: A Self-Portrait.
Muir comparing the imaginary grandson of his imaginary version of himself to Christ.
...
Somehow, this just elicits a nod from me at this point.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Wailing Well.
Watching Muir segue from last strip's 'wimmenz is to blame!' to missing the point of The Handmaid's Tale is a surprisingly 'nod along' moment--this is all, well, what you'd expect from Muir. About the only interesting aspect of this strip is a surprise appearance of 'Foil Sam', those rare occasions I've mentioned where Sam actually takes a different position from Zed so that a strip can have a back and forth discussion. It seems particularly odd here, because Sam's been happily making these sorts of statements herself in recent years.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Horror of Chilton Castle.
I suspect this is the only time in his life that Matt Gaetz has been compared to Christ. Instead of just having someone invoke his name in horror as a result of Gaetz's actions.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because that penalty will be enforced. Half the distance to the goal line.
Ahh, there's Muir's religious faith, which has been present since the early years. It demands nothing of him, lets him tell himself that his opponents are wicked and false because they oppose him, and sanctifies all his bigotry and hatred. The American equivalent of a 'Gott Mit Uns' belt buckle.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Inazuman Flash.
Leave it to Muir's imaginary women to explain that legalized abortion is the government going in women's vaginas. Because leaving the choice to women is that, not the government making sure they don't. Somehow.
Also, the gays plot against the youth, but come on, we've heard that one for years by this point.
