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?
I don't know what movie that is in, but the words are originally from "The Tempest" Act 4, scene 1. "And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep."
However, if we have learned one thing about Pluggers after a year (almost exactly) of these daily strips, it is that Pluggers are not Shakespeare people!
Is he referring to that horrible Robin Williams film of a few years ago?

I figured it out. The quote is from "The Maltese Falcon," uttered by Humphrey Bogart.
