Monday April 18th

The comic:


It's April. Wouldn't this have been better in January? Oh well, better than some old "joke" about taxes.

That will probably be in September.

Saturday April 9th

The comic:



That is the smartest thing I've ever seen a Plugger do. Though I'd leave something sweet at the end too, so I leave with a sweet taste in my mouth.

Monday April 4th

The comic:


But most of the sit down restaurants I've been to have pictures as well.

And they don't change the pictures daily, he's just being a jerk.

Actually my favorite BBQ place does not have pictures of the food on the menu and I'd say that place is more stereotypically Plugger than a fast food chain - southern, BBQ, everyone knows everyone, BBQ...

The comic:


Wow. I saw the picture before the caption, so I figured it was taking place at a hardware place and he was giving directions to some tool aisle.

Is this an "old" thing? Well this is depressing. Or reassuring. Knowing where the bathrooms are when your stomach is about to explode is always a good thing.

The comic:


This looks familiar.

Of course, the premise is so old and insulting.

Ha ha, men can't cook! Ha ha, they're eating pizza!

And take-out? I guess you save on a tip.

Meh. Stereotype, not funny, rerun not marked as such - grade F.

Thursday March 25th

The comic:


Yes, it's so funny when you don't remember things.

Or when walking up the stairs (though if it's 40 times in a row, maybe) is exhausting.

No, it's not funny, it's "touching". The hell? Okay, so we "identify" with the exhausted Plugger.

It's sad, and we're supposed to (as comic mockers) go ha ha, he's fat and old. Ha ha.

I do have a solution - keep all the glasses in a box, and keep said box with you. Or keep multiple pairs, if you got the money. And computer glasses are different from reading glasses? Lordy. I have my one pair because I'm near-sighted. I never leave them on a different floor. Different room, yes.

And ha - the glasses are on his head! I've tried that, not comfortable.

And an extra dose of knee-slapping hilarity - he forgot what he wanted to do, in addition to bad eyesight. It's so fun to make fun of people's illnesses and infirmities. I know I do. I go to St. Jude weekly and point at the girls and laugh because they are bald.

I won't go back and edit my own posts, but as a chronically ill overweight person who forgets things and wears glasses, I don't think I've been too cruel in the past. If I am mean in the future, it will be towards Brookins, to the genuine fans who think this tripe is worth money. Eh, I'm contributing - no such thing as bad press! But sometimes the comic disgusts me, and not because it's really objectionable, but just because what's the point. They're old. They have illnesses. They're fat (or drawn that way). It's not funny.

Wednesday January 20th

The comic:


You're a Plugger if you're old.

Or you're a Plugger if you've lived more than a certain number of years (this day in history could be as far away as 100 years and as close as 10).

Pluggers live.

Through events.

True story.

Makes you think.

About why anyone would publish this waste of ink and energy and money and gah! (I'm sure I'd be angrier if I personally knew a comic writer struggling to get papers, or if I read the newspaper instead of reading all the comics I want every day thanks to the magical TV with the typrewriter.)
