Current theory: Day by Day is actually some kind of performance piece about failure that some goon's been doing for too long.

Confess, "Chris Muir", that it's all a lie.

Real question here, why? Who set up a program to embed authors of web comics in with soldiers in Iraq? What was the aim of the program? How did they select people to go, is it self nominated? Is it self funded? What does the military get out of the deal?

Didn't Rall go as well and a couple other cartoonists? Again, why? I drawing a complete blank about any possible reason to do this...

In mid-February, Chris Muir, the talented cartoonist behind day by day, a political comic strip prevalent in the blogosphere, embedded in Mosul for five days. Public Multimedia, Inc, my non-profit media company, was proud to sponsor Chris for this embed. Chris is the first of several embeds Public Multimedia will put into the field this year. Chris provides notes and photographs from his travels and time Iraq. His experiences will be shown in the strip this month.

I'd make a reference to a normal non-pornographic film where this happened, but then I remembered there's no way Muir willingly watched Machete
Oh yeah, that's right! That was in Machete. I forgot about that movie.

And yeah there's no way he would watch a movie about an illegal immigrant mobilizing a disgruntled mob even if he realized it was a parody and not an Infowars "this will happen" documentary.

Also that picture of the faces is terrifying me, like I'm expecting that to be etched in a ziggurat in Nicaragua portrayed the Aztec gods. Like Zed is Xipe Totec.

At this point I'm convinced Muir should just give up the political part and just draw porn. You know he wants to.

Wouldn't he need to achieve some basic level of quality to do that? The standards for porn are way higher than the standards for right wing politoons.

The Long War Journal is a project run by a neocon think tank dedicated to recruiting as many conservative journalists they can find and dumping them in the safest green zones available for a couple days so they can come back saying "The war's going awesomely, they love us over there" So the answer to the question of "why" is "Muir volunteered and at least one person somewhere listens to him"

I don't want to be belabor the point or sound incredulous but whats in it for the US army? It sounds like, at a minimum, ensuring the safety of these journalists would require some effort on their part... I guess, if the journalists do report that the war is going awesomely the army gets good press, is that it?

It just strikes me as a weird idea...

Sam exists outside of time.

I hate that I remember this but:

Originally, Sam was roughly Zed's age. Until later on it came out that she was actually 20 years younger or something like that but had lied to Zed so that he wouldn't reject her. But then later on Muir wrote that Sam's mother had been in an internment camp and possibly that Sam had been born there (I don't really remember that part, I just kind of skim most DBDs and have gleaned this through other poster's talking about it.) All in all...Muir sucks at writing.

The cartoon was in the context of 9 others, all edited with the same exact phrase. No reasonable person would be confused.

That is probably the most airtight, immutable defense of this.
