It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Jade Box.

...

I have to admit, this is one of the less creepy "Zed is a possessive Dad" bits.

Which is still so fucking creepy.

An Uncanny Valley Thing From The Images To The Dialogue.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Oregon Trail.

The endless cries about the sad victimization of white men are hitting new levels of pathetic.

Also Mari's become the latest Owens girl to sprout the throat-arm. Yay.

Remember, If The Leopards Are Eating OTHER People's Faces, It's Fine.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Ghost City.

Muir's ability to pivot on AI in a way that's both witless AND cruel remains a sight to behold. The unlikely, imagined image of scientists losing their livelihoods to the machines makes him chuckle, for they are infected by the woke and have people who are not white guys doing things. But when he remembers the things are scanning his work, he gets so offended.

"What If We Added More Misogyny To The Robot Jokes?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Radio King.

...

He is so checked out right now. Just look at this. There is nothing to really talk about because this strip is just... nothing.

The Eternal Reoccurrence of Robot Jokes.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Perils of the Yukon.

So now we're combing the 'overly-protective dad' jokes with the robots.

...

This comic is so in the weeds right now.

The 'Terminator' References Shall Flow.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Mystery Ship.

It's kind of amazing how much of this comic is now just references to two movies, over and over and over...

Well, That Was Astonishingly Awful.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Perils of the Royal Mounted.

If I weren't sure that Ian was ultimately hivemind white trash scum, I'd advise him to run right now.

Sam's Gonna Strangle Her With That Umbilical Cord, I See.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Spider Returns.

As we look at Muir treat dysfunctional emotional manipulation with a mawkish sentimentality that suggests that this is how family relations should be in his mind, I should note that the homeschooled education that the Compound dwellers insist is so better than the outside world's degenerate offerings has left Mari thinking that the Yucatan is in South America.

It isn't.

A Reminder That They Just Have Terminators On This Ranch. They Just... Do.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because White Eagle.

As we stare at that supremely awkward strip, I do worry that if this trip does happen, and Muir allows it to happen onscreen, we will get his racist-ass upside down version of Mexico.

The Robot Jokes Will Continue Until Morale Improves.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because G-Men vs The Black Dragon.

The extent to which Muir thinks of jokes as just mentioning things he liked when he was younger or something the kids are saying now really gets to you sometimes. 

Like a sledgehammer, repeatedly striking your head.

Muir Is Astonished To Have A Leopard Eating His Face, Specifically.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Mounties.

Won't lie, there's something deeply amusing in watching Muir's constant flipflops on AI, one of the few subjects where he's decided the suits aren't on his side. Especially as it winds up being a good illustration of what a self-centered bastard he can be, as he'll probably be gloating about it crushing those wage slaves again in no time at all.

He Has To Make Sure The Robot Sex Is Biblically Permissable.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mystery Mountain.

The other side of Muir checking out... him doing lots of strips about... this stuff.

Again, I'm just so in the weeds on the robot sex. It's weird, but not fun weird, especially as Muir's hypocritical pose of moral censoriousness always pokes its metaphorical head in.

Anyone Who Isn't Willing To Completely Debase Themselves Clearly Wants To Kill Him. He Can Tell.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Tenth Clew.

The amusing thing is he doesn't get how gutless this comes off as.

Ominous Musical Sting.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Song of the Petalars.

It's been five years, I think we've lapped multiple points where Muir insisted people who got vaccinated were going to start dropping like flies, his asshole side have gotten to play Russian Roulette with the public health and he's still putting out shit like this. Because Muir always has to feel like he knows the hidden secret truth, no matter who the fuck pays the price.

It's Pronounced 'Lee-on' Actually.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the white knight is balancing on the fire poker.

Once again, Muir doesn't even bother to try with the designated baddie, who starts out by explaining that he exists solely to be humiliated, and to set up more terrible Terminator jokes.

Even As One Gets Used To The Terminator Fixation, It's Still Unsettling.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Slithe, yes.

I think Muir's getting bored with this trip. We're starting to see filler strips.

Now We're Stepping Into The Twilight Zone...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because all over you.

...

Muir is hitting new levels of deluded self-parody.

...This Just Gets Weirder.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Trouble With Harry.

Seldom has a man revealed so much oddness so casually over such a span of days.

Muir's Eternal Fascination With Robot Sex Jokes.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I Confess.

...There's something quietly astounding in how completely unfocused Muir is five months into Trump 2.0. It is, at heart, the same problem that he had the first time around, but multiplied. He has predicted triumph and been granted farce. DOGE unwound even as he was proclaiming it the bee's knees. The war in Ukraine that he kept insisting was just a Democrat grift has... well, kept going. The bill to keep Trump's worthless tax cuts may be advancing, but it's also a toxic stew where the GOP decided that yes, yes, they were going to stick their hand in the pot of boiling water. And so we keep switching between things like this and Muir looking for things to complain about.

Anything to distract him from stupid reality.

The Weird And Woolly World Of Sex In This Strip.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Spellbound.

As I've noted before, I've just learned to accept Muir's weird Arnold obsession. It's arguably one of the least offensive things about him. Just, as noted, weird.
