Ah, he draws it in Illustrator. This explains the circular blend in the boobs — it’s easy to do in Illustrator. The gun seems to be clip art. I’m not sure why he didn’t resize it to a realistic proportion, but perhaps he spends as much time with real guns as he does with real gals.

“Not just old habits.” == Sister Mary Superior is gangrenous in a closet?

Chris Muir is a master of 'phantom humor,' such as the kind found in Marmaduke. It seems there might be a joke there, but it cannot be detected by any normal humor-detecting instruments.

Isn’t that when your mom catches you?

Well, the mouseover said something about computer cables being suddenly yanked out . . . So yeah, it’s when your mom walks in and you accidentally topple the computer off the desk trying to hide what you were doing.

I think he’s talking about Tosca, does someone take a long time dying in that? Then why does she say pig. Did she think he was saying old habits meaning her over sized thighs? In which case she could say pig and then plug him with the Glock.
Or is the loss of his motor functions because he has clip on tie but still has to fiddle about with it and she says pig like a Tourettes thing.
Or maybe he saying that she always takes a long time to get dressed and he is always dressed first in which case she should plug him.
damned if I know what the hell it about.

““Not just old habits.” What is that supposed to allude to?”

Nuns?

there was an ad underneath the strips for something called JerkStopper.

When I followed the links to those DBD comics, there was an ad underneath the strips for something called JerkStopper.

Firstly, in regards to your fourth point: presumably her (presumably black) attacker/rapist would have already done most of that work for her.

Secondly, have you ever drawn a semi-undressed woman? It can be quite delightful. That is all.

Maybe, she used to date John Wilkes Booth and he is now stalking her.

Also, for some reason, if there is humor there, i think it somehow lies in the fact that she now has a new habit of some sort.

Finally, we should set up a pay pal account and commission Paul Mooney to fix all of Muirs “comic” strips.

Yes, I did just use scare quotes, and I am not ashamed. So back the fuck off.

i’m sure “day by day” must be uproariously funny for the pure of thought and ideologically committed, but for me it’s just a WTF moment.
perhaps the comics section of pravda was like this?

I just can’t help but look.

It’s so stupid. And so bad. And so unfunny.

Couldn’t let it go anymore.

Is it Muirian dogwhistle? Is it an inside joke amongst them?

Or is it…is it the stupidest pile of steaming wingnut proto-intellectual anti-clever out-and-out bullshit ever served up in the history of time?

My money’s on all three.

Diapers.
Prostitutes.
Meth.
Guys in bathrooms.
Guys passed out drunk.

Don’t forget the double wetsuits

And minors. Won’t someone think of the children?

Ew. I just grossed myself out.
