I was born in 1988. I could buy something "several years" older than me and my hypothetical coworkers.
Now Pluggers aren't necessarily old, I am sad.

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.

Pluggers are old and smug about it.
Just look at that face. Don't you just want to punch it in? I mean, more than usual, of course.
Couldn't they have chosen something a bit more obscure, though? You have to be pretty out of the loop to not know who The Lone Ranger was, as he's pretty highly ingrained on the American pop-culture subconscious.
Pluggers use lunchboxes? I thought they were more a brown-bagging sort of crowd.
