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.

The comic:

Safety razors?

I don't know and I don't really want to know.

The idea of these creatures shaving is disturbing enough without the visuals, thank you very much.

Why haven't we seen anything about female Pluggers shaving their legs? Or not, because they wear pantyhose. Or they draw it on, like they did during the war. I'd just love to see a reference to shaving legs starring the Chicken lady. My one request. I don't ask for much.

Saturday July 3rd

The comic:

On all that fur!

Two things marking her as a different Plugger - "senior" and "ladies". Senior bothers me because I know women start using that expensive snake oil in their 30s or 20s.

"Ladies" bothers me because all women are so gullible and vain, amirite? It has nothing to do with our youth-obsessed couple or the fact that older men with wrinkles and gray hair look "distinguished" and want a younger woman, or a younger-looking one, at least. Plastic surgery is out of a Pluggers' price range, but all she's spent on gunk for her face over the years is probably more than what a face lift would cost - it just seems like more for the surgery because it's all at once (or on installments).

I use moisturizer. I was a senior in high school, and I "should" be a senior in August, but I don't think I will be. 4th year, yes, but I'm probably not graduating next May.

Anyways, I have dry skin. The right moisturizer is a godsend for everyone, male or female, old or young. I guess moisturizer makes your skin look young as well? I wouldn't know, I already look young all the time.

This makes me sad - I wish this was homey and sweet (gag-inducing) - a Plugger grandmother doesn't need anti-wrinkle cream, because she knows they're part of her life. And it would show her pointing at some with her granddaughter on her lap - "These are laugh lines - I've had a happy life." or "Your mother gave me these!" Off camera - "Mom!"

Or even better - she's complaining about her wrinkles and her partner says, "I love them, they're a map of our life together." (Or - "The laugh lines, frown lines, lines from thinking - they prove you're not a robot!") *cut to snuggle time*

Oh yeah, they're called "apps" because you apply them to your face.

"Trying to look young and wasting money - there's an app for that."

But I thought the iPod and such were designed to be easy to use, especially by people who aren't that comfortable with technology, like, oh "seniors."

Besides, what do they say? Getting old is better than the alternative!

The comic:


That squirrel is effing creepy.

And it's so nice that they care about the birds. They watch the birds eating because someone stole their TV because they don't live in a bird feeder and are like my sister, who thinks locking the door at night is "overdoing it."

The comic:


I know dogs can get sunburns - hairless breeds, dogs who got their summer shaves, but I have never heard of putting sunblock on them. The normal thing is to keep their outside time to a minimum when the sun is out.

And, forgetting the animal aspect for a second, why do older Pluggers need more sunblock? Because they lose the hair on their heads and a head sunburn is mighty uncomfortable? (Only thing stopping me from shaving my head. That, and I like it when it's braided.)

My first thought was that it was a fat "joke" - they have more body to cover because they got fat, see?

But balding is probably it.

However, this is just wrong, wronger than anything else involving these creatures and I am going to pet a real dog and pretend this never happened.

I suggest you all do the same if you want to survive the weekend.

And wear your sunblock! Despite what my ignorant sister thinks, people with all shades of skin color can get burned and damaged, so get the strongest SPF you can find if you want to go out in the sunniest part of the day! I lost my uncle to skin cancer, I need to take my own advice next time I go out after 10am.

The comic:


Dixie is 13.

She still has a full coat.

Er, she would if we didn't just get it shaved for the summer.

Drawing FAIL.

And did he have Shawn Cassidy hair?

The comic:


Pluggers are farmers now. Or they live in places where it's legal to keep chickens.

They are also very literal.

There is no joke today, I don't find it heart-warming. It's just stating a fact.

This tripe is insulting.

Also, my dog prefers to kill chickens rather than mess with their eggs. I did like gathering eggs when I stayed at my aunt's in Nebraska - but no one has just 4 or 5 chickens. She had 2 less after we left because of Dixie, chicken killer, but she had plenty - 20 or more. And my aunt and uncle aren't farmers, they have chickens.

Also, I don't remember if I used a basket.

Plus, 4 or 5 chickens don't make that many eggs on daily basis.

This is just made of fail in so many ways - it's not funny, it's not sweet, it doesn't apply to 80% of America (or Canada), and it just doesn't make sense!

The comic:


Are those his teeth?

This is just disturbing!

And wouldn't he have dentures by now?

Ew, I'm out of here! The possibilities are endless, but almost everything I think of for dirty teeth (especially down here) would get your beard a little dirty. My dad smoked and part of his mustache turned yellow.

And since when are they so prissy? Does he bleach it? Metrosexual! (Dated word, dated comic.)

The comic:


But that only happens if you shave that spot in the first place - who shaves the top of their ears? What? This makes no sense at all. Maybe I'm hallucinating? Nah, I may be boring, but not that boring.

I hope.

The comic:


And they're a great source of protein, too!

Not that my dogs have eaten birds, they mainly kill them and carry/bury the corpses, growling at everyone until the wittle birdy can be disposed of. Then it's out of sight, out of - ooh, shiny!

OHEMGEE MY DOGS ARE PLUGGERS

*goes into a corner to weep*

The comic:



You're a Plugger if you don't get any bills? What?

And judging by the look in the "dog"'s eyes, that's his kid. Or grandkid. Most dogs don't know about the vet until the fun car trip is over, or right until we try to go in the doors.

Ouch ouch ouch.

Idiots.

Does this mean their heads are likely to explode? Or just that they have no traction?

Except... she better not invite over that chicken lady!

The comic:


It's a dog. Dogs are not vegetarian.

I wonder why tater tots is capitalized, but mac and cheese isn't?

And what is the significance of this vegetarian meal? People eat meatless meals all the time, it doesn't matter.


Family is over including a 5 year old hyper ...thing... and well, Pluggers suck. Which is my way of explaining the very late posting.

The comic:


I don't have much to say here.

They're cheap, they're old, blah blah blah.

But look! RhinoMan has access to running water!

Now that I think about it, this memory problem is worrying. They presumably got the razor when they started shaving, which had to be late teens. Someone who can't remember when they were in high school is allowed the use a razor? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Because Pluggers have no friends.

The comic:


When I saw the top half of this comic (no little Plugger, just enough to know it was the chicken), I thought of how Dixie killed a chicken. Only because I was talking to some people from Nebraska, and that's where her reign of terror began

Anyways, this is should be called a Plugger Food Bank - after all, Pluggers are animals and they're feeding their fellow Pluggers. Stale bread. Classy.

Geese suck, anyways. The ones at this one park bite and harass the ducks, and oh those are ducks in the comic. I think. The band around the neck means it's a duck, right?

The chicken lady is so weird here - it's like the rooster's crown was placed on Brookin's old female mammal template. Nothing is birdlike about her - no feathers, no beak.

So maybe she wants to live with the ducks, she knows this is an unnatural existence?

The kid could care less. He doesn't look like a monster.

Yeah, I don't have much to say. I don't know what the hell the phrase is supposed to mean or why it matters that they've interpreted it as the quintessential old person activity, feeding birds. (Yeah, young people do it too, I did before going off to do something more interesting, like roll down a hill.)

It has something to do with getting followers or supporters, right? Is it Biblical in nature?

I just realized I never want to see Plugger religious iconography - pictures of saints or Jesus - eek!
