The comic:

I want to try a Kindle, but I also don't want to spend so much money getting the same books I already own on it. That's one of the big limitations of an e-reader for me. That and there aren't a lot of library books available for one, not enough to justify the purchase.

I read a brick of a book in January, A Suitable Boy, and if that was available as an e-book, I'd have been very happy. But it wasn't.

I ordered a book from Amazon and the Kindle version was more expensive than the paperback copy! Forget that.

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.

The comic:

You know you can change the channel, right?

I cared this year because of Colbert and the American ice dancing team dancing to Bollywood. I did not have to sit through NBC's coverage to find that.

Anyways, Pluggers are boring, like boring things, and like to get published about boring things. (I hear fishing is less boring if you're drunk and/or have dynamite.) Also, Ohio. Paul misses ice fishing, but it's too expensive to drive up to Michigan or Minnesota or Wisconsin. Poor Paul.

Also - timely! And it's a "classic".

Wait - it can't be a classic for true Olympic (winter or summer) fans - they know when ice fishing was added, so seeing this year after year (I guess they save puns for the summer game) must make them angry. For about .00001 seconds before they move on. I'm the only one thinking about this who doesn't get paid. Sad sad sad.

Good night.

Oh, I watched some of the Olympics and freaked out when the skiers did those jumps, and went upside down, I had the TV on, I poked my head in to bother my mom and then I was like "WTF was that what did they just do?"

Also, the final hockey game. I love frequenting places with so many Canadians - they were so happy! And the descriptions - the Torontoians finally know how the Vancouverites felt! Yeah, it wasn't a good fiscal idea, but it seemed like such fun. And not Plugger like.

(Hey wait, Colbert never tried for ice fishing... hmm...)

Wednesday March 3rd

The comic:


Won't hurting your back end up costing you more money in the long run?

And we get firewood from my uncle. Where is he getting his wood to chop? That shit's expensive.

Monday February 15th

Did you enjoy Valentine's Day? I didn't get any chocolate, but I finally got itunes working and organized just right! Also, horrible horrible pain. Pretty typical. If I didn't have horrible horrible pain, I'd walk to Walgreens this afternoon and get me some cheap chocolate! That's what holidays are all about!

Also, if you have today off (President's Day) shut up! I have... like one class, it's an hour long, o the misery.

Oh yeah, you don't care. Onto the comic:

That is one tiny kid!

And it's called preschool, thank you very much! I went to preschool and kindergarten. Don't most schools start with kindergarten now?

But yes, you're a Plugger if your grandchildren live in a different world than you do. Alert the media, things change.

This is funny? Or maybe some lucky brat who has today off will see this because they like to read all the comics (shut up) and ask their parents if it's true. Is that the point?

Of course, it makes me sad, because Grandpa Plugger grew up in a world where both parents didn't have to work, so he didn't need to be shoved out as soon as possible. (I'm assuming Grandpa Plugger was middle class, stable and above all, white.)

Monday February 8th

The comic:


"Open a jar"? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
