It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Green Archer.
I'm torn between the delight of watching Muir sporadically attack Trump and Company in his latest Purity Spiral, the quiet horror that it's because he's achieved a new level of Actual Nazi, and the sad amusement was that was what it took for him to realize that, no actually Israel's government is kind of awful and a terrible ally.
Complicated feelings for such an awful strip.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dangers of the Canadian Mounted.
As amusing as Muir treating these delusional softballs as "the real journalism that people should be doing" this is all the fairly typical phenomena of a person who has found themselves doubting their faith attempting to double down on it to make the questions go away.
It rarely works.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Crimson Ghost.
Through an incredible coincidence, I actually know the online conspiracy theory Muir's referencing, the infamous "Short Trump" theory, and it suggests he's breaking with the likes of Teddy Beale for a little while at least. But as he is still swimming in the waters of other crazy conspiracy theories and shouting that up is down and defeat is victory, who knows how long before he changes his mind on that.
Again, if there's one thing Muir's proven while insisting just the opposite, it's that he's one pliable, gullible man.
POSTSCRIPT--What I assume was tomorrow's strip originally went online at the same time in what was a very confusing manner. The malfunctions keep piling up.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Daredevils of the West.
While I'm certain Muir's leaving room to assert that he still believes in Il Puce, really, it's hard not to see this as fairly stark demonstration of his present alienation. He saw Trump 2.0 as a victory, and he's gotten this muddle. Partially because he trusts the worst people, and partially because he's a whiny little fascist who wants the worst things, many of which they couldn't give him if they were actually... well, competent.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Fighting Marines.
It says something that even a fairly innocuous, hackneyed effort at a cliched 'Guy can't talk to the girl he's crushing on' strip sees some of the fascist argle-bargle that Muir's been stewing in seep through.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Law of the Wild.
Once again, the extent to which he has just given up at this point is remarkable. He's retreated to the cheap comfort of squatting in the corner and shouting that everyone but him sucks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Three Musketeers.
Eva's problem of course is that she's typical of the hivemind--deluded, stupid, bigoted, weak whiny, with the underpinning that she views all these manifest flaws as signs of how clever she is. This is a growing issue for the cast, I'd argue--they spend ever larger amounts of time blubbering about how unfair everything is while simultaneously insisting that they are as tough as nails. A part of me can't help but think that even Muir is starting to have problems writing around his present state of ideological cringing when joined with the ever-present bluster.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Whispering Shadow.
The American Right. Proudly spewing the bullshit of the people the US helped thump but good, because patriotism.
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 Vultures of the Sea.
I even have the misfortune to know just what he's referencing here, and this strip still leaves me somewhat puzzled.
Well, except for the eternal tendency of Muir's in-universe media endeavors to work through this strange sort of cargo cult fashion, Muir having the cast just do a rough version of media things, and somehow, it works until Muir gets bored with it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Winter Murder Case.
How happy is Muir with things? So happy he's proposing 'not voting' as the answer.
No doubt Phase 3 of this brilliant plan is "PROFIT!", right after Phase 2 "???".
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because three wise men said "Don't report this!".
It has certainly been a thing, watching Muir get more deluded and bigoted while imagining that he's becoming more attuned to the real truth.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because filet mignon.
Won't lie, there's always something amusing when one of the hivemind has to pretend to have a contrasting opinion to let the designated truth-teller explain the new dictate.
Also, Javier has at last inherited his father's position as the Black guy who tells it like it is--while being offscreen. The perfect demonstration of how DbD's racial politics have progressed. Or degenerated, I suppose.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wafer-thin.
And just after hitting a new high on the strip's Nazi-quotient, Muir decides to say 'hold my beer' to his past self. His past self from yesterday. I think this might be a new record.
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 It.
Watching Muir pretend to know things about the French Revolution will never not be grating.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Young and Innocent.
As we watch Muir complain about a show we can be fairly certain he never watched and a version of Keir Starmer who doesn't exist, let's consider how easy it is to get Muir to agree with you. Just say that people aren't appreciating men enough and he's whinging his heart out and imagining that he sounds tough and sage-like.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Ring.
It says something that Muir's so marinated in his own awfulness by this point that his straw leftists operate by nonsense jargon that only makes sense to him.
