From Behind Teh Doorframe
So which entries won the Day By Day Remix Contest?
…Or is that a last-week sort of thing, such that there should just be a brand-new contest making fun of Chris Muir?

Both! I’m agog to know who won, and making fun of Chris Muir always r0xx0rz.

Notice how the last panel doesn’t say “HAHAHAHAHA, Wipeout”?
That’s because not even a recording will laugh at a Chris Muir punchline.

Verily I say unto you, the winner must needs be made known. For the stoopid you will always have with you, but you will not always have the funny.

I was blissfully unaware of the existence of Chris Muir before I began reading this blog (and TBogg’s).

Me too, Gus.
I was also unaware of Coach Dave, Marie Jon’, Pastor Swank, etc., etc. Somehow, via the alchemy of Sadly,No snark, they’ve all enriched my life.

You know how in some Cartoons, like PVP, or Penny Arcade, Doonesberry ( you know, GOOD comic strips) will have a strip that doesnt end in a joke but sets the stage for tomorrow’s Teh Funny.
So when I read Day by Day, I keep thinking- ” OK, TOMORROW will be the payoff”… for about a year I’ve been checking in and we still have not gotten to any kind of joke-
damn, that must be one funny joke he has planned.

That’s the worst-drawn Capitol Building ever.
Does he have some sort of degenerative disease that causes him to draw like crap? Should we feel bad for making fun of the artistically-challenged?

Check out the top left painting on the Muir Art page. What the hell is going on there?

It was an easy tweak to fix the ad that showed on the Day by Day page: like so.

“Winning” and “Losing” Don’t have much traction in a universe where up is down and down is up. In fact, I think he may be going for a Volgon-like attack of drollness to disable his enemies.
Win? Loss? I’m still trying to figure out why this guy even gets paid to do this.

All of the characters he draws have expressions of detachment and disinterest. Of course, that may mean they are based on the people who spend time with him.

Ha! Point taken, but those expressions are endemic among characters in crappy webcomics written by people who think they’re cleverer than everyone else. That’s why I was so gobsmacked to learn that Day By Day is published on actual dead trees.

It was such an endless summer that it began in September, 2005, when Angela Merkel was elected.
Conservatives are so fucking desperate.

Lesley-
It looks like the bodily fluid production of a salmonella-infested Picasso.
Or a trip on bad acid.

I could be wrong—it’s happened—but: Doesn’t “endless summer” allude to a wondrous, peaceful passage of time which one wishes would continue forever? And if so, wouldn’t that indicate that Chris Muir is, like, a dumbass?

What’s up with 12/07/2007′s comic? It made no sense whatsoever. Troops 100% stealthy? Got it from a hostile country? wha..wha..what?
SenderC wins the comments…

WTF?? I thought the unborn kid was talking about Vietnam in the first frame and then it got more meaningless after that.

Looks to me like he ran out of material, so he swiped the becrayoned fishwrap off of the lunch table at the local kindergarten.
Or is that being unkind to the children?

ah HAH. ah HAH.
See, the troops are “stealthy” cuz the news media do not report on them, rendering them invisible. But the irony is – and this is the really funny part – the media are also traitor-enemies of our nation, which is founded on the principle that the press should act as a propoganda arm of the government.
Get it? Still not funny? Well, that’s what he was trying to say anyway.
I was raised wingnut, and I’m still pretty fluent. I guess I’m like a daywalker or somethin’.

Christ, these are unbelievably bad. The only thing that makes it tolerable to read Muir’s comic strip are the belly laughs I get from reading people rip him a new asshole for his efforts! So I guess he’s at least inspiring comedy while he fails terribly at it.
Muir’s must be a rough-scrabble life to contrive so many inexplicably bad attempts to mock liberals and Democrats while at the same time portraying ridiculously conservative characters as believable. Why, who among us doesn’t know an independently wealthy, ultra-conservative young republican black man who’s life’s work is the snarky-yet-unfunny denunciation of liberals while at the office? Dime a dozen!
pedestrian said,
December 13, 2007 at 4:19
patrick,
Muir just recognizes that the key to good comedy is to start with a premise that is so unbelievable that the audience doesn’t even bother to tune in for the punchline.
And THEN, weh heh helll thennnn…..

I get it, it’s supposed to be a “Beach Boys” joke… or something.
Er… so that’s how panel two leads to panel three.
Panel one hits a bunch of talking points about how things are going good in the glorious GOP America.
Wait, all that good stuff happened after the Dems got control in the House and Senate, so this is a pro-Democrat joke?
I get it. The Dems got elected, all this good stuff happened, so it was like that wonderful summer that never ended… even thought it’s winter which leads us into next year when the next elections occur.
Got it,! The “Wipeout” is being said by the remaining GOP members of congress, since they’re like the last specimens of an endangered species about to be “Wiped Out”
Mien Gott! He’s been a subversive liberal all this time?!

My punchline, “They were born dead, you know”, was absolutely brilliant.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go persecute a christian.

SpotWeld:
“Mien Gott! He’s been a subversive liberal all this time?!”
Impossible. Only a TruConservative ™ can be that consistently unfunny. Even the most humorless, stick-up-the-ass liberal obeys the law of stopped clocks and is funny at least ONCE in a while.
Muir’s unfunniness transcends the normal laws of physics.

Please, stop, you’re making me blush. And now Gavin or someone is going to have go check IPs to see if we aren’t the same person Diebolding the vote.
But hey, you guys should stop by, I’m stringing popcorn and tennis-table balls for a festive wreath to hang above my yard-size-inflatable-Barney-worships-the-Sweet-Baby-Jesus-creche. We release farm-raised white doves daily for your shooting pleasure and serve eggnog made with real gnog. And regardless of what the neighbors or the fire department says, the burning bush stays. And i know the Abraham animotronic stabby display is not biblically accurate, but, hey, the guy should have feigned deafness and stabbed the fuck out of that ungrateful wretch and check out how cool the faux blood looks squirting into the hummingbirdfeeder that looks like Frosty the SnowMan’s purple engorged penis.
Peace on Earth and Goodwill has good bargains if you don’t mind semen stained mattresses and t-shirts sorted by retards.

Look, I’ve about had it with you people, this is your last chance, and I’m only offering that in the Christmas spirit, if you don’t permenently ban that W Thomas Smith Jr person I am never reading this blog again.
Say, how the fuck do you spell permenantly anyway? Permanantly? Permanently? Perminentliy?

Concerned: You’re pretty obnoxious in and of your own self; nevertheless, I must agree that the W. Thomas Smith bot has way exceeded his shelf life. Way. And that “they were born dead” thing? Who would find that funny, other than idiocratic losers who will never experience a fully lived life?
Oh. Sorry, those of you to whom this description applies.

Thanks for the input Even More. I agree, the guy is sick, who would find that funny? Next he’ll be making jokes about tennis-table balls.
Would you be willing to join me in signing an online petition to have this blog removed from the internets?

Even More, I’m not interested in playing your troll games, if you want to drink and “suck ass”, that is your business. I am more concerned with cleaning up the filth on the internets.
A better family-orientated punchline would have been, “Aren’t my boobs darling?”.

Actually, my entry won. Thanks to everybody else, though, for setting me up. It helped the suspense, I think.
What? I didn’t hear anybody else say who won, so I stepped up. It’s what I do.
