Their current "spin" is that they are not trying to take away guns from law abiding Americans.
What they are not saying, is that they plan on making the laws such that there will be no legal way for the average American to legally have them.

True. Their previous "spin," though, was that somebody had better By God Do Something about private citizens owning small arms, and the U.N. was just the kind of dynamic, take-charge bunch to get it done!
Now their "spin" is "What are you talking about? We never wanted to do any of that gun control stuff against citizens. We are freedom-loving freedom lovers!"

I appreciate that Chris Muir seems to be pro RKBA. I've just never found his cartoons to be funny.
Maybe I'm just missing something. In this one a woman is wearing a gun strapped to her thigh and a man says "she always had a leg up on the competition"? Is this actually funny? Can someone explain it to me?

I think you need to be a punster to appreciate it. Not that I'm any sort of expert on that sort of thing, of course . . .

Preacher,
Just because it's a pun, doesn't make it funny.
In fact......
silliman,
Not every joke in a daily strip can be comedy gold. Even Bloom County had some groaners. And some of the Far Sides got a little obscure at times.
And sometimes you just don't like the guys sense of humor. Like Ziggy or Born Loser.
At least Day By Day is pretty solid in its political angle.

It also helps if you read it regularly, you get a feel for the characters.

Pretend the TSA is the UN.
TSA says nobody can be a passenger with a Onion oh their belt. One must have said onion in lockable container and if you carry a Onion Bag, there must NOT be any onion peelings in said bag.
TSA and Passengers had a come to Onion meeting, and now one can carry a Onion on their belt, and it don't matter if onion peelings are in your Onion Bag.
The lady is happy about ruling - and yes she was carrying a green onion concealed in a thigh holster.
Got it?

Steve, yeah, I got that she has a pistol on, but what's the joke. How did the how person know? I'm so confused by this cartoon. The kids keep posting it but I just stare blankly. I feel so old. Think I'll go put some shorts and black socks on and putter around in my garage and then sit in a lawn chair and drink beer while it rains. Geez, I'm old already . . . how did that happen?

El T, don't feel bad, I have a difficult time trying to keep up with all the "hip" stuff that Chris Muir pens, too.
I see that Sam's brunette sister above, however, does have a "Tramp Stamp" tattoo on her backside. I understand that's a trendy thing these days.
BTW, Zed is a former Special Forces sniper. Nothing spells cartoon war hero like a former sniper or SEAL team member, considerably more trendy and sexy than an Arabic linguist, infantry grunt, mess hall cook, or 4-engine heavy EC/RC/WC/KC-135 crew dawg deployed 200+ days out of the year. I'm thinking about taking the command wings and Combat Crew badge out of my shadow box and replacing it with one of those sexy sniper badges, myself.
You cannot wear shorts and black socks without wearing a pair of sandals over those black socks and a pair of overshades over your prescription glasses. Trust me.

And now we know where Sam hides the KelTek. (This question dates back a few months, for those that don't know what I'm talking about. Sam and Zed drew down on a mugger. We never did figure out where she hid her piece.)

You are not old!
I remember Bazooka Bubblegun - and there was a cartoon strip inside.
"Mighty Mouse" might be coming to save the day ["mom we need Ipana toothpaste!"] That was a cool commercial b/t MM saving the day.
Snoppy was Cool, RoadRunner my hero.
Bermuda? I was trying to figure out where the states abbreviated Wash. and Mich. were.
We had folks come down that dressed funny, talked funny and wanted a "Pop" <looks up at adult> "He wants a Coke". Might be a 7Up, a RC, a Dr. Pepper, even a Coca Cola...still they got a Coke, we don't have "pop" down here .
Garfield was not invented, nor Doonsberry. Dennis the Menace, Hi & Lois, Dagwood ( where the sandwich comes from you know). We had.
Guns? Well Elliot Ness had something hidden, hard to tell whereon a Black and White TV. The Gangsters always had a Tommy Gun in a guitar case.
Hidden? Oh I learned a lot of good hiding places. Elliot Ness, "Untouchables" and Vic Morrow's character in "Combat", Clint Eastwood in "Rawhide" ...always knew where to either hide stuff, or found stuff the BGs had.
February 14 was always something to look forward to. St. Valentine's Day Massacre movie always was shown on the Black & White TV.
The old war vets were cool, sad, and neat - depending. I went to tell a nurse one had blood on his stump, he need another "teddy" hose - well I said something close, nurse gave me a look, turned red, the Vets all laughed and then when they explained what I mispronounced - I turned red.

The one with the tats is Skye, Sam's lefty sister. I assume she knows Sam's custom of going armed at all times.

Look at her skirt line.
Ask yourself why one side is hiked up.

El T,
Also you must not shave and button your glenn plaid shirt one button off.
Aw, heck, I'll just fax you a picture of me and I'll include you in my copyright exception.

I read DbD regularly, Muir isn't really trying to be typical comic funny but more wry and insightful to current events, a better version of Doonsbury and far more to the right, which suits me fine.

It's also worth noting that Sam and Zed are engaged, and Zed always tried to sell his injuries as "Coke-machine accident as a contractor in Afghanistan."
Yep, Muir is definitely one of us. I'm not the first one to wonder if he ever lurks over here...
Chris, if you do, there any chance you could drop a little reference to THR into a strip sometime?

Muir is a member over at APS, or at least someone is posting under that name there.
What I don't understand is why he wastes frame space by putting the men in there. Just draw the women and have the men say their lines off-stage.
