It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wake me up.
It says something that the thing that got Muir to turn on corporations was the thought that they might start discouraging his most awful behavior.

"Clearly, You Are A Figure Of Major Importance They Will Spy On."
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because giant foot-long subs.
I mean, I'm not even a big fan of Amazon and Alexa, and this is clearly the sort of paranoid natter that Muir is making more and more his bailiwick.

"So, Yeah, It's Mostly The Ratfucking!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because not much going on.
Good to see Muir doesn't understand how primary systems work.
After writing a political strip for just shy of two decades.

"You'll Love Ratfucking, Sis!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because fly by night.
You know, Muir's straw versions of Democrats are so stock by this point, that they're barely worth considering. The real meat here is probably the best illustration YET of his failure with Sam and her sister. Skye was (and largely is) supposed to be the Bad Sister, the One Who Is Awful And Wrong, the replacement Bad Liberal for Jan, who Muir had clearly come to view as a sexual fantasy object, and thus "redeemed". Skye was going to avoid the pitfall of not being so bad really by being a truly wretched human being on top of her liberalism, demonstrating the true awfulness of liberals as seen by Muir.
And by and large she was--but there was a bit of problem there. That problem was that Skye's behavior made her Sam's rival, and Sam handled it the way she handled any unpleasantness, by retaliating with even more extreme unpleasantness. And thus, even though Skye was clearly bad, Sam became worse, something that quickly informed all her actions.
And here we see it again. Skye's actions are typical awfulness, a demonstration of her narcissism. But Sam is once again, a psychopath and a bigot.
And the story treats her as just fine.

"That Is Totally What The Nazis Were About!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Crimson and Clover over and over.
You know, it says something what a shambles this last week or so of strips has been, because this strip is really quite horrible, with a flawed buildup and a muddled conclusion. But after several days of strips that didn't merely lack punchlines but any sort of internal connection between panels, it seems merely awful, instead of a new low.

"And Clearly, I As A Black Man, Think This Is Great!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because let it hang down on me.
Well, it's good to see Damon going back to his old job of being the black man who can excuse Muir's racism as all right.

"Also, I Apparently Have Mold!"
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because early in the morning.
Yeah, Muir's losing the thread of his strips is getting quite bad. In this case a freaking shout out to an internet homey gets weird.
