Friday the 30th

The comic:



Gah! Unless she is hanging on that line by tips of her fingers, she is not 'online'!

The internet has been around for almost a decade, surely these bizarre creatures can stop with the 'jokes'. Please?

Thursday the 29th

The comic:




Wheat pennies are awesome.

However - I thought pennies were only lucky heads-up, Brookins. Does he want lucky toes?

Wednesday the 28th

The comic:



Reed Hoover, why don't you submit something to TDIET once in a while? I know Scaduto's on the east coast, but he's not a member of the liberal elite!

She's going to the '$6 Fashion Outlet', but the sign behind her says '$6 Dress'. (I'm going to assume that's what it says.)

So there's more than one?

Now, I've seen these on the Simpsons - they were funny.

This is not.

You know what I hate? Dollar General. Not a dollar store. I got my first trashcan at a Dollar Tree, it broke (the side). Got one at DG - it has not. So ha!

And Dollar Stores have some cool novelties - my sister got me this glow-in-the-dark ball thing, whined that I never used it, and demanded that I put it away 'cuz it was scary. (Attached to my fan pull.)

Tuesday the 27th

The comic:



"I'm a Plugger. Not only am I technophobe, I think of my fellow 'man' as little more than machine."

Monday the 26th

The comic:

Who asks that question?

Oh, my head.

I know I'm a girl, I should know every-little-fucking-thing about fashion, but I just don't.

I know I look good in red.

And I know that Mr. Burns was worried about having pleats ironed into his dungarees - he didn't want to look like a square. Not to worry, those were his bones.

I have no damn idea.

I did not look at this last week and give up. I swear.

Time to play catch up.

One post at a time - I hope to be caught up to the real date by next Tuesday - the day of my last exam. It's at 8, so I'm not going to try to be done before, I need my sleep.


Pluggers is more depressing, more bitter than TDIET and Mallard Fillmore.

I know, I know.

But TDIET has those awesome anachronisms and speech patterns, and Mallard's just f'd up. Both can be funny, not in their intended ways.

Pluggers? Just mean and depressing.

Sunday the 25th

The comic:
Pluggers don't have computers.

Snore.

Saturday the 24th

The comic:




Touching and true of many people.

But what makes this a Plugger cartoon - the designer 'clothing' looks like a quilt to me.

Ha!

Friday the 23rd

The comic:

Pluggers never give presentations at work.

This was sent in by a man. He may have been talking about himself, but Brookins chose to make the Plugger female.

So male Pluggers know what power point presentations are, but females don't. Oh those dizzy dames!

And your son wouldn't take food from the trashcan if you let him eat at the table!

Thursday the 22nd

Happy Thanksgiving!

Naturally, this comic had nothing to do with the holiday. (I know there are Canadian Pluggers, but it calls itself American.)




More like Christmas.

That is a generation gap - the young and old misunderstand each other. Where's the Plugger element?

The cartoon itself is so sad - Grandpa just looks so hopeful, this is the key to his grandson's heart!

The kid looks snotty - imperial bastard. "Grandpa! Bring me some new DVDs! That is all!"

This was sent in by the grandfather - "some new DVDs"? There's content on the discs, and it's not identical. My sister and I both want some new DVDs, but we'd say what DVD we wanted, so I wouldn't get some Hillary Duff mess and she wouldn't get "Help!"

Granddad also looks deaf.

And like a dog desperate to please his master.

Wednesday the 21st

The comic:



Sent in by a CC poster.

A Plugger doesn't realize that he can put the TV on the weather channel or a news show...

And computers? What are those?

At least this wasn't the 'blinking 12:00' thing.

Canadians.

Tuesday the 20th

The comic:


Pluggers wear earrings, but not necklaces?

That Plugger is scary looking. She's like the strict old-lady teacher you had in first grade or something.

And her hair...

Monday the 19th

Can't you feel it?

The high will be in the 70s today and tomorrow.

Naturally, they predict storms for Wednesday.

Onto a group of 'people' who think you should go to the attic when a tornado siren goes off, the Pluggers:



We've already seen this before!

This Plugger is lazier than your average one.

There is no deadline given, and none of these seem hard on a pleasant fall day.

Except the bank thing.

Don't strain your brain!

Sunday the 18th

New Simpsons!

If football behaves...

The comic:



I prefer Elzar.

Frozen pizza needs something more than an oven or microwave? And what's in those cans?

Skittles belong in beer, not on pizza.

Grammy? Who says that? Linda Sauder's imaginary grandkids, obviously.

Finally, what kid - who says Grammy - watches cooking shows? Bender I can believe, but Pluggers?


Later thought - and I do think! - since some comics are already celebrating Thanksgiving, let's assume that their Turkey Day dinner consists of frozen pizza and skittles. That's just awesome, as long as the skittle are sour.

November 17th

Today's comic:

So what - the rest of us are hedonistic spendthrifts?

I hate Pluggers.

Oh my god, 80% of America is poor and/or lived through the Depression. Bush was right! Social Security will bankrupt us!

Now for the illustration - Ben Franklin's proverbs in your American History book? No, no, no. In a book on Franklin, YES. There's more to the revolution and Franklin's role in it than his proverbs!

And I thought those were only in the Bible...

Pluggers are deists!!!

November 16th

Today's comic:



Pluggers have no friends.

Actually, I think the numbers are not there for her, but for her children or husband. Look at her face. So resigned.

Thursday, November 15, 2007

November 15th

No school that day!

Today's comic:

Oh, gag me.

So this means every nice grandma is a Plugger? Or only those who make cookies?

One of my grandmothers makes cookies, but no secrets are exchanged because she's in New Mexico!

November 14th

Time to panic - instead of luxurious hours between classes, I now have 15 minutes. Nevermind that it won't take longer than 15 minutes, when will I nap????

Priorities, people.

The comic - not my top priority, but hey.



Another Tennessee Plugger! Way to make us look stupid, Rebecca Clutts.

Clutts? Really?

The address has switched back to Virginia after a day. Hmm.

Yeah, Pluggers are major philistines, big shocker there. Maybe if they shopped somewhere other than Wal-Mart.

I thought it said placenta... I'm hopeless.

Also - what is wrong with her arm? It's wider than her head!

Tuesday the 13th

Registration for Spring 2008 starts tomorrow! Eek!

The comic:



I always thought those came in girl's Happy Meals, but whatever.

Actually, I thought they only had plastic movie tie-in toys in them.

Toys that broke if you used them. How expensive are cheap sunglasses these days? I don't wear them, my sister does, but she's beyond the star frames - her latest ones are what I call "bug eyes". She did not get them in a Happy Meal.

This is a classic, so is he rerunning a strip, or finally using a 15 year old submission?

The teenagers look young-ish, better than kids in TDIET.

November 12th

Today's comic is a repeat, but not quite. More like revisionist history!

Of course, it boils down to Pluggers are old and technophobic, but still.



She should so use Wind-X on his glasses.

I wasn't aware that "high definition" is now a noun, instead of an adjective.

Too bad yesterday's wasn't sent in by any one person, but the drawings make it look like husband and wifey-poo disagree about the definition of "high definition".

In other news - I got a 100 on my latest English paper! The first two yielded an 86 and an 80 and this was the "hardest" paper and she graded it much more strictly. Go me!
