How is that a paradox?

This is a blog devoted to the comic strip "Pluggers", about the "80 percent of humanity who unceremoniously keep plugging along -- balancing work, play and family life." This strip is also described as "America’s first interactive, reader-participation comic." That sounds like most of us, right? And our fellow Americans are sending in the ideas. So let's see how it matches up with reality, shall we?
What is Ableist Language?
Ableist Word Profile at FWD
This is a good place to start. It's an ongoing series.
The posts are "101" so feel free to ask questions, as long as they're not "FREE SPEECH!!!!" or "Why does this matter?"
Anyone commenting here who uses such words to describe me or the comics will get a warning and if they continue, their comments will be deleted.
Please respect me at my blog.
It's not censorship, it's my personal blog. I am not the government. And the internet is not the USA.
If you must, go to your own blog, or to twitter or facebook and use it. You're free to do so. Just not here.
Yes, I have used ableist language here in the past. Not proud of it, but I'm not going to go back and edit all the posts where I did. It's important to see how I've grown as a person.
This is an R Word free blog.

Paradox = "Pair o' docs" = two doctors.
At least, that's what I think it means.
I think the chicken is experiencing the fight or flight paradox - if she fights about the doctor the dog may become agitated and maul her to death, if she remains frozen the dog may become hungrier and hungrier and devour her. Which will she choose?
pluggers are stupid, that's why it's a paradox.
also, have you retired from DCR or are you planning a triumphant return in the future?
Re: the DCR - I don't know yet. Probably not.
Because the Plugger holding the paper is still alive to read about herself in Pluggers. She should be dead. Especially if devin is right, which she/he probably is.
Wait, did I say paradox? I meant "tragedy."
No chicken with any sense of self preservation marries a bluetick hound, in my opinion.

zomg no DCR? dang.
You do a great job with Plug it Up, but isn't DCR more and better exposure? :(
