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.

There's 'Niche Interest' And Then There's This.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Chosin Sentai Jetman.

I don't know what's more astounding, the fact that Muir keeps this bizarre Schwarzenegger fixation up, or the fact that he still resents the man for his term as governor of California.

One Grotesque Panel, Over And Over.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Chikyu Sentai Fiveman.

It's kind of fascinating that Muir's just admitting that they're Terminators. For a long time, they were robots Javier had made that were modeled after them, but now, they're just Terminators. Down to the model number.

For no real reason.

True Patriotism Is Calling For A Fascist Uprising To Install A Dictatorship!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dengeki Sentai Changeman.

Astounding how the percentage of people Muir views as acceptable keeps sliding down. All as he grows more and more convinced that he is part of the natural ruling class based on nothing but his own swollen self-regard.

Pregnancy Jokes And Robot Jokes. Yup.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Jargoon Pard.

This particular strip reminds me that if DbD didn't exist, I wouldn't know there exists in this world a man with a pregnancy/breastfeeding fetish and a strange obsession with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Which let's be honest, is a pretty weird pair of quirks to be paired.

This Drawing of Arnold Will Never Not Be Creepy And Bad.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because loving the alien.

The 'how dare we face consequences for what we did' energy is strong in this strip.

Alongside the robot stuff.

Won't lie, there's something deeply amazing how he keeps that shit going.

I Remain In The Weeds On The Robots.

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

I swear, the robots just get more ridiculous every year and a flashing neon sign that shows just how badly this strip has lost what little cohesion it had.
