Friday April 15th

The comic:

I have a hole in my chin, okay?!

Tuesday April 12th

The comic:

I call foul - my Dixie would be knocking my arm around while Wickett shoved the book out of the way. They would not gaze adoringly at me as I read.

I seriously doubt he's a farmer. And the almanac would not be able to tell me the important weather related things, like how far away that fucking tornado is. Or if school is closed because of snow.

Saturday April 2nd

The comic:

Why don't they just get a divorce? She knows he doesn't like tucking in his shirt, he knows she hates it. God what miserable people.

Thursday March 31st

The comic:

I don't think that's one of the first things he does, unless he got dressed in the car.

Their faces are so weird, nobody's looking at anybody else, they all seem quite resigned. Depressing.

Thursday March 3rd

The comic:

It's funny because our healthcare system will bankrupt you!

And only 6 bottles? Amateur.

Question - is it really investing if most of them are generics?

Thursday February 24th

The comic:

Because Scooters are used by people who cannot walk or stand for long periods of time.

Isn't that funny? I'm dying here.

No wait, I'm not.

Wednesday February 23rd

The comic:

Who does that? Pancakes are sticky!

He doesn't look happy about this.

This is way way too specific and a bit... I don't know, but just... no.

Monday February 21st

The comic:

Only Pluggers lose things! Of course I remember where I put something, I'm not a Plugger!

I know where my 2011 organizer is, I just don't want to use it.

Friday July 9th

The comic:

Ha ha, he has trouble walking!

Heartwarming? No.

Funny? Hell no, especially to those in that situation.

Familiar? For some people.

From Reed Hoover? Yes. Publish it!

Thursday June 24th

The comic:

Wow.

Oh wait, I just remembered last summer (or was it the summer before?) when the government offered coupons for the converter box so you could continue to get your network channels in peace.

Before that, I was in awe that they bothered with the converter box.

Plugger question - why does his TV still work but his car is falling apart? TVs are harder to fix and harder to understand. Though maybe they were simpler back then, what do I know about Philcos?

And despite being a disrespectful teenager (I'm 21) I do appreciate a B&W movie or TV show. Andy Griffith in black and white means Barney is still there - in color, he's gone. And I saw a colored version of Mughal-e-Azam that was hideously colored. The director died and he wanted it colored and you can see the scenes he colored (the colors look natural) vs the ones attacked with highlighters.

Futurama's on! And it's new!!!

ETA: I know how to hook up the DVD player, the Wii, and my computer (provided the TV has a VGA port) and a bit about the cable (in the dorm, the cord goes on the wall, and then on my TV! Magic! That does not mean I am a TV expert, just like the fact that I can type without looking and use the internet easily does not mean I am a computer expert. (Though with our old one, I was able to add extra RAM so I could update the Sims (the original, spluh!) - I could take apart the computer casing and do that. But that's about it.) 

Thursday June 17th

The comic:

But this caption is too long - "Reading only the single-panel comics is Plugger speed reading."

Also - ha ha, this is a single-panel comic too!

And you can't save the newspaper for later in the day to enjoy because...

And the love of Family Circus is okay - they look at the little children as we look at them - some weird species.

But the Marmaduke love gives me a headache - it features humans and animals - and animals that don't talk to wear clothes or read the paper.

And I am quite disappointed that Brookins didn't plug himself - instead of Marmaduke (another animal - competition!), he should have said Pluggers.

And then your head would explode.

Monday May 10th

The comic:

Ha ha, Pluggers wear their pants up high!

This is what you kick off "classics week" with? Reed Hoover is a hack, but Brookins is worse.

Friday May 7th

The comic:

Pluggers have butts?

Pluggers have curves?

Pluggers don't have a Hank Hill butt? (And he is such a Plugger - so smug. He and Andy Griffith are total Pluggers - "real" folks and so damn smug.)

I think the point is "Pluggers are fat" and the drawing says "Pluggers are fat and it depresses them."

Or maybe this has something to do with guy jeans I don't get?

Anyways, Pluggers are fat! Hoo doggie, what a knee-slapper! Fat people are funny! I tell jokes and make people laugh, and I'm fat. Now I know they only laughed because I'm fat. (Or when I was sick and skinny, because they could tell the future and knew I'd be fat one day.)

Thanks Pluggers for clearing up my misconceptions! Now I know I'm nothing more than my hilariously fat body.

If "Pluggers are fat" wasn't funny, why would it be repeated on a regular basis?


That still doesn't mean this comic makes a lick of sense. Oh well, Texans. What can you expect.


ETA: Ha! "Fat jokes" are funny - Hagar the Horrible writer Chris Browne agrees with me! Or he wouldn't make one every week as well. It's so much fun breaking things and possibly hurting yourself, oh man, I'm going to laugh so much I might cry. Or punch the monitor.

Saturday March 20th

The comic:

Sharing is communist.

Wednesday March 17th

The comic:

Ha, life grinds you up and spits you out, and they grind coffee beans! Except you don't grind them yourself.

Also, that image woke me up - can't sleep Plugger will kill me. Good substitute for coffee, I guess.

Wednesday March 10th

The comic:

I don't buy it. Sure, Pluggers still buy newspapers, but knowing what compos mentis means? And what if you can't figure out the clue, does that mean you have yourself declared unfit for... whatever and check yourself into an old age home?

This makes no sense.

Monday March 8th

The comic:

Um. Wow. You can schedule naps?

Saturday February 27th

The comic:


If I wanted to be nice, I'd say at least he cares.

But I don't. Way to screw up your kid's game!

Thursday February 18th

The comic:


That's not fucking dyslexia.

Friday February 12th

The comic:


I did not need to know this, I did not need to see this.

Off to get some brain bleach!

In the form of My Name is Khan this weekend! Yay!!!! Bollywood is like a million miles away from Pluggerville. I checked on my map.
