It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Purple Riders.
There's something quite amusing about how even as Muir tries to insist how rugged and individualistic he is, it's done with whining, and complaining and bitterly insisting how unfair he's being treated by the evil forces of Leftism, while sucking up to one of his clay-footed idols, and looking to him for ideas on how to think.
So typical of our thin-skinned, brittle-boned aspiring ubermensch.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Secret Kingdom.
Here we get another example of Muir thinking a display of his ignorance is a display of knowledge, and a display of his pathologies is a display of artistic vision.
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 kind of amusing to see so many strands of Muir being lazy sewn together here. We've got DEI used as a vague buzzword for stuff Muir doesn't like, the arrogant, ignorant assertion that liberalism and leftism are just bad and ruin things, they JUST do, he doesn't need to prove it, Muir swallowing a blatant obvious falsehood to explain away something shameful and thinking this proves how clever, how with it, how patriotic he is. It's such a sterling display of all the awfulness and stupidity that make him... well, him.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Brick Bradford.
What makes this little bit of hate bearable is the fact that it is, again, being produced as his latest idol cracks up and runs out of political juice. This has been a regular feature in DbD, Muir declaring that the great victory is nigh, and that everyone now hates his opponent, and soon, soon... He's just gotten nastier and more blatant in how he says it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Son of the Guardsman.
It's a good example of the moral wretchedness of this fictional universe that Sam and Zed clearly feel the only morally objectionable part of this proposed death camp is that they, a family of good volk would be near it.
And that they overcome this objection by thinking that, well, hey, they'd be guys doing some of the murdering.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Who's Guilty?
Won't lie, Muir going full Randroid during Begging Bowl season, a man begging for spare change to make his bad comics yelling about how he is a Maker, yeah, not a puh-parasite, never stops being amusing, and this time it's joined with full on Downfall-style denial of the actual world, as Muir does his best to avoid noticing how badly things are going for Trump right now. It's Muir at his most nakedly wretched and pathetic, a fraud and a failure on his own supposed terms not only following the same, but trying to pretend that it isn't just nonsense. That he won't cheerfully move the supposedly rigid goalposts of his beliefs all over the place to tell himself he and his are the real winners, and also the true Muricans.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Black Arrow.
I'll give him this--it took real effort to create the worst 'Cast Member as Bad Reporter' plotline, but damn it, he did it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Secret Code.
Ahh, yes, the Muir Standard--a declaration of Left Wing principles can ONLY be the pretext for corrupt betrayal based on... whatever the hell idiocy's he's reading at the moment, distorted further by his warped mind. It's made him the self-declared champion of the common man who champions the common man taking it in the neck, and a so-called enemy of corruption who has to come up with elaborate conspiracy theories to explain how his heroes only look like they're corrupt.
And he never learns, and he never changes.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Overland With Kit Carson.
It's kind of funny how nakedly pathetic Muir's gotten over the last year or so.
I mean, it's still fundamentally awful, because he's a fucking white supremacist now, but he's just sad and whiny about it most of the time.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Spider's Web.
And as we wonder if this time around we're finally going to see Ian's face, I just want to say what thoroughly revolting characters the twins have turned into, a pair of whiny, entitled bigots who put a front of bold superiority to cover being a pair of cowards who fear anything different or new, and blame everyone else for the obvious results of this. They're good proof of Raylan Givens' famous maxim (which I am freely paraphrasing)--"If you run into an asshole now and then, well, that's life. If everybody you run into is an asshole--no, you're the asshole." They're young women with the soul of a cantankerous old man.
'Cause, yeah, that's what they are.

"Also, I was created by a creepy cartoonist who started wanting to hatefuck me, so he just changed my politics to turn me into someone he'd find less objectionable."
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 The Clutching Hand.
Man. As vile and morally bankrupt as all this is, it's also just so pathetic. This is Muir crashing out in real time, staring at a reality that looks very bad for him, shutting his eyes, and desperately trying to insist that it is something else entirely. The last time I saw him this bad was way back in 2020 when he was trying to convince himself that no, no, Biden hadn't won, it was all a trick, all a trick, Trump was going to throw all the Democrats in prison any day now.
It's gonna be a crazy year, folks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Mysterious Airman.
And another return to Teeter, the city with the politics of Austin and the geographic position of El Paso. Now, ultimately, all the racist swill, hatred of cities and screaming at inferior leftists is, well, potboiler Muir bullshit at this point. (It's interesting that Kiko can somehow just identify random Hispanic men on the streets of a freaking border city as illegal immigrants, but this fascist fantasy, so what do you expect?) No, I'm gonna to focus on a more interesting question. Now, Teeter is supposedly a college town.
So, what's the college called? Is it 'UTTeeter'? 'UTT'? Just 'Teeter'? Or is it a private university with religious ties? You know what? As I'm doing this as a joke, I'll make it the last one. Teeter's college is a Catholic university, originally founded by Jesuits in the 1920s, and is known as the University of Saint Jesus Malverde de Sinola, or JMS for short. And that is what I'm going to use in all future jokes I tell about Muir's ridiculous little imaginary city.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Carnival.
At this point, I'm pretty sure Muir watched The Prisoner recently, and he's fallen in love with it for all the wrong reasons. Which has lead to this strip, a particularly dark shout-out to a fan. Instead of having his virtual self getting to gawk at the cast, Frank Manning gets to discuss potential crimes against humanity with them.
Joy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Panther Girl of the Kongo.
Muir does realize that the Village were the bad guys and Number Six was the good guy, right?
Or does he imagine that the situation would be different if his people were doing it to no good inferior leftists?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Man With the Steel Whip.
It's kind of amazing how this imagined "Muslim community" on the Texas border just keeps popping back up every few months because Muir so loves giving his cast punching bags that he's having this one spontaneously regenerate over and over again so Sam can complain about or destroy it again.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders.
Apparently, yesterday was about getting an indulgence for this little bit of mouth-breathing idiocy, where Muir implicitly insists that a Cal Tech graduate is stupid, because he's Black. It's been something, over the years, watching Muir's swollen self-regard and hysterical bigotry curdle into something more and more repulsive.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe.
Clarence Thomas. Probably one of the most deeply malignant men to sit on the Court, alongside Taney.
Which if, you know what Taney's most famous for, is exceptionally ironic.
