Monday May 5th

The comic:


But it is new - new to you at least.

And I hate hate hate that Plugger Cat. It gives me the creeps.

Pluggers buy shoddy used cars, because they are morons.

Saturday May 3rd

The comic:


So the little one is not a Plugger.

Big surprise, Pluggers are lazy. But supportive of their active family members.

There is no definition of the "most important piece of sports equipment," and folding chairs can be used in a made-up sport, somehow. Never underestimate the imagination of a non-Plugger.

Friday May 2nd

The comic:



We've seen Pluggers as birds.

We've seen pissed off Pluggers as well, in a foul mood, but that's not the point.

I have a category devoted to the chicken looking Plugger.

This is so wrong.

I'm just glad we don't get to see them today.


ETA: Of course, Josh covered this one. And he's funnier. And touched on the product placement, which I ignored!

Thursday May 1st

The comic:


Pluggers know computer words, but don't use computers. Or they're so dumb, they never reboot their computer or associate the word with anything other than shoes.

I'd say that this joke is older than a Plugger, but it's not a joke.

Wednesday April 30th

The comic:



Gas costs more today than it did in the "good old days".

AND HE GETS PAID FOR THIS?

Tuesday, April 29th

The comic:



Finally! A Pluggers about cars that I understand.

Bliss.

Er.

So you're a Plugger if you have an old car.

But only if you have a new car because you don't like all those fancy geegaws in the new ones.

(My sister has to roll down her windows manually, but this is her first car.)

Monday April 28th

The comic:


Pluggers wear Timex watches?

Pluggers wear watches?

And yes, cell phones work as clocks, especially for those of us who hate something tight on our wrists trapped in a classroom without a wall clock for an hour and a half.

Wear was I?

So this comic confirms that Pluggers are old, but they have non-Plugger children. So there are non-Pluggers that are the same "species". Oh, my head.

Saturday April 26th

The comic:



I do not do that! I seize any moment when I'm three or more days are empty in my pill thing.

And they're not very sick if they're only taking medication once a day. (They sell them with the days divided up to four times, so no excuses.)

Friday April 25th

The comic:


Those are not GPS devices. They do not tell you where you are. They tell you which way is which direction. They do not tell you which way to go, or what is where.

I hope your troopers sue you for getting them lost and not springing for a real GPS device.

Thursday April 24th

The comic:


That's not good.

That's not good at all.

And yes, the "childproof" cap is anything but. And it's craptacular as hell that arthritis medication is locked up that way. But don't use a minor! Especially a seven year old! There's no one else in your life?

Wednesday April 23rd

The comic:



I don't remember any of this, but I do think movie prices are insanely high.



However, ha ha, you're old!


And this is the oldest (ha!) gripe about how bad life is now.

Tuesday, April 22nd

The comic:



You're a plugger if you can't do anything new or original in your life, besides sending in terrible puns and definitions to Gary Brookins.

(I know there are non-Plugger reasons to do this - notice the father is not mentioned? You're rebelling against your dad, going retro. But that's something young adults do, and Pluggers were never, ever young.)

Monday, April 21st

The comic:

Josh's take.

Dean Booth's brilliant parody.

My take?

I'm going with the tag "pride," because the birdlady knows no one will get mad, not at her! Not for trying to make everybody's life easier!

I sometimes do this, but only when there's no line and/or I have to dip into pennies because of poor planning. Also, they may ask - give you a round amount of change - a dollar, a dime, instead of 87 cents.

What's funny is they're all Pluggers, so everyone in line will do this. And when the cashier gets off work and buys something? She'll use exact change.

Saturday, April 19th

The comic:




Pluggers are fat. Though, in all honesty, some chairs and surfaces stick to my legs when it's really hot. But never like that. RhinoMan needs new furniture, stat! Or he needs to fix his situation by sitting somewhere else, like the floor. Sheesh, Rhi, I loves ya enough not to laugh at you, but you've got to use your brains.

Friday, April 18th

The comic:



Reed Hoover again.

Wow. This is a new side to the Plugger - grump.

He looks so ticked off.

Thursday, April 17th

The comic:



A nightcap is alcoholic in nature, and chocolate ice cream (minus any background bottles) is not.

I've never had the wine flu, but I swear, brain freeze is much better.

Also, I've never said "Ow!!" Pluggers are wimps.

Who says nightcaps anymore, besides losers like Wendell Campbell? (Oh, Wendell. Poor Wendell. That name hurts me more than brain freeze.)

Wednesday, April 16th

The comic:


Why rerun this?

It is the funniest Pluggers ever, though it's completely unintentional.

The only humor they tried for is lame and stupid - "Men like to change channels! They never stop!"

So who was watching Baywatch?

I hope she thinks he's asleep and he's dead and she ignores him until the stench gets too strong.

Or she poisoned him because he was a stereotype, never watching any channel for more than a second, the bastard, and too cheap to get her her own tv and too controlling to let her watch TV when he wasn't.

Totally awesome Bollywood song -- Yeh Ladka Hai Allah

Tuesday, April 15th

The comic:


Ha, ha, Pluggers are old. And when you're old, you get sick. And you get too stupid to write the appointments down on your calendar and keep the appointment cards someplace as convenient as your wallet. (We put them in the car, tucked under the thingie - point is, we can see them. And the docs call a day or so before the appointment.)

I need something new for the "Pluggers are old/fat" comics that come up.



Ah. Perfect.

Monday, April 14th

The comic:


Why would a Plugger have a dictionary in the first place?

Saturday, April 12th

The comic:




So non-Plugger grandmas dis their grandbaby's culinary efforts?

That's all I got, except this totally awesome Bollywood tune of the momement: Yeh Ladka Hai Dewanna

Friday, April 11th

The comic:




Man, two birdladies in one week. Who have I angered? Oh what do I care - I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't done done done done with my two papers. One hasn't been turned in yet, but I am finished.


Onto people who hate people like me.

I thought the daily grind was work - Pluggers don't work? Or they don't refer to work as the daily grind.

I cannot believe a Plugger has a shredder. Wow. I know it's only there for the atrocious pun, but still. Wow.

Oh, wait - lady Pluggers don't work! Silly me.

Thursday, April 10th

The comic:




Reed Hoover strikes again.

But there's my RhinoMan.

And he looks like he has a perfectly boring 9-to-5, non-blue collar job with benefits and such.

But he cannot afford a long enough tie. :(

Maybe he's just working for one of those door-to-door sales things. That sucks. Poor guy.

Wednesday, April 9th

The comic:



Well. He's not a Plugger. Nothing to see here.

I repeat, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Plus, it just doesn't make sense. (I've been to urologists, I've had kidney stones. Never was there anything like unplugging.)

Tuesday, April 8th

The comic:




PLUGGERS ARE OLD, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OLD.

Did putting the news in caps make it any more new?

No?

Didn't think so.

Monday, April 7th

The comic:



You know, the Plugger birdwoman bothers me more than any of the other creatures locked in Pluggerville. It's easier to accept mammalian humans, I guess. Also, I can't stand Shoe.

Now I see the caption. (I saw the top half of the cartoon first.)

Pluggers are fat.

But wouldn't she have been winded by tying her shoes?

That is one scary looking Plugger - she needs to sit down, drink some water, and ::shudder:: put on something cooler. If you know you'll work up a sweat within five minutes, why not wear something cool. I cannot fathom exercising in sweats, even in winter.
