It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Atom Man vs. Superman.
...
I'm going to pass commenting on Muir's new favorite racist phrase and Javier fully taking his father's mantle to note that apparently that branch of the cast have gone back to Argentina once again, so yeah, Muir gave up on reintegrating them yet again.
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 Jungle Raiders.
There's something extra-pathetic in how Muir whines about his tiny besieged island of Right-wing culture... during a fucking Republican trifecta. But of course that doesn't count, because it isn't magi-winning the way he was sure it was going to.
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 Desert Hawk.
And once again, delusion and utter sycophancy is the sign of a great reporter in Muir's mind. At least, if the government is a fascist trainwreck. Anyone else must see you trying to hurl crazyshit against the wall to see if it will stick.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Jungle Drums of Africa.
Ahh, yes. Muir, who has regularly fantasized about killing numerous elected Democrats insists that the media not being properly servile to his special boy is what caused this. Because he and his have all the rights, and anyone who doesn't recognize this have none.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zombies of the Stratosphere.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... he says shit like this and imagines he's some sort of patriot.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because G-Men Never Forget.
Ahh, yes, Muir doing the bit where he mixes being sleazy with being self-righteous. Never gets old.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zorro's Black Whip.
It says something that it's quite obvious that the only reason that he even used the word 'taint' was...
Well, to set up the labored "punchline".
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom Empire.
Another desperate flailing effort by Muir to avoid the fact that the administration he painted as the broom that would wipe things clean is in fact pure corruption. As usual, whenever Muir has something close to an argument--there exist truly dire people who have contributed to the Democrats--he overeggs the pudding by throwing in actual slander--the 'Schiff was an active participant in Buck's gay murder spree' is, well, a Very Online conspiracy theory boosted by the worst people. But again, Muir is pliable and gullible while imagining himself a clear-sighted, iron-willed man.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Devil Horse.
I see we've found the one thing that will get Skye to behave like a proper straw liberal again. Blatant Nazi rhetoric. Which gets Muir to get all whiny about why don't anybody respect white people anymore.
Delightful.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom of the West.
We've seen it time after time. The moment Muir's side is facing push back, he starts shouting conspiracy theories and claiming everyone against him is actually a subversive.
Because he's whiny, and once again, he and his project everything, including their own projection.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Lone Defender.
And once again, Muir jumps at the latest ridiculous conspiracy theory and treats it as gospel, all so he can whine how powerless the Right is.
When they have the government.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The King of the Kongo.
It's just extra-amusing that this blatant bullshit where Muir tries to insist that the crook was the hero and the hero was the crook happens shortly after a Texas State Senate seat deep in Trump country flips.
Keep yelling Muir. It will make you feel better.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Fatal Warning.
...It's the projection that gets you, Muir imagining he's just being a witty guy telling it like it is when he's being... well, this.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Big Knock-Over.
I won't lie, not only do we have Muir's standard 'accusing others of being pedophiles with the jailbait character he created to get horny over', but at this present moment, the strip is badly out of step with what's happening in the real world.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Scorched Face.
The horrible sense of an obnoxious old man who never managed to stop being an obnoxious twelve year old at heart, in all the worst ways. No childlike sense of wonder. Just a smug conviction that you are right, you deserve everything you want, and anyone who is different than you is stupid and stuff.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Girl with the Silver Eyes.
In my mind, Skye has become some grotesque creature whose appearance destroys sanity and that's why we haven't seen her for two strips in which she has been talking with her own daughter.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The House in Turk Street.
As we watch Muir reiterate that he wants absolute licence for he and his, absolute submission from everyone else, let's just consider that last line.
Muir has regularly fantasized about killing those he doesn't like. But that doesn't count. Because he got reminded that he is mortal and bullets don't care about what your politics are, so now he's gonna pearlclutch, try to pretend that it's his opponents who are like that, not him, and in essence, desperately pretend to the moral high ground. Because the civil war and bloody purge weren't supposed to carry the risk of being one of the people getting killed.
