Friday the 29th

The comic:



You're a plugger if you like dogs?

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Or this is why there are pets that are the same species as their owners - they treat the mentally challenged Pluggers as pets. (And they put collars on the mentally ill and shock them so hard they can only drool.)

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Thursday the 28th

The comic:

Pluggers are old.

Yes, we know that. We also know that non-Pluggers die from syphilis before they become "old".

Big deal.


No, what's shocking, shocking! about today's glimpse into hell is that there are Plugger teachers.

No! No! No!

Actually, I can think of at least one teacher I had who could have been a Plugger. Everybody hated him, and he taught my friend's mom. (And other "old" people who stayed/returned to the area.)

Pluggers are also immortal.

I think - I'm not googling it, do it yourself if you want the "truth" - that retirement age is 65. So his two students are now 85, making him at least 100! Or if the retirement age is 55, then they're now 75, and he's 90! (I'm assuming most teachers - not grad students! - are about 15-20 years older than their students, especially in elementary and middle schools!)

Oh yah - song du jour. Enjoy!

Wednesday the 27th

The comic:

The caption and the dialog do not match.

It is the normal type of nonsense one would expect to hear, but it's just odd.

"Foreign policy"? Foreign Pluggers? I know there was a Canadian one, but he's a CCer. He doesn't count!

This would be fine without the dialog! Annoying as usual, but normal...ish.

Dialog... erg...

Tuesday the 26th

The comic:


Rain does not do an adequate job, hundreds of Pluggers everywhere!

It's called "soap", you ignorant freaks!

Gah!

Calming - a new song (for me at least). It's in Tamil, and it's beautiful.

Monday the 25th

Yesterday and this weekend (and, to be honest, much of today) were filled with procrastination. And self-loathing. And tears. Which is why, despite the need for "urgent" things to do, I couldn't look at this shit. You know how it is. But I feel a bit better today, so hey!

The comic:


I don't like you, Reed Hoover. You're not funny. And you can't be a CCer or other form of snarker, or you would have told somebody. So you think you're funny.

But you're not - you know what comic you're submitting ideas to. Today's is just especially painful.

Animals do shed, no matter how old they are. I've brushed Dixie every year of her life, and there was always part on the brush. (Lots of parts - bigger than some puppies!) It's not new, and it's not funny.

The new is also weird - so Pluggers aren't old, they're aging and dealing with the signs of aging?

It also looks like he's going to try a comb over. ::groan::

Hate, Reed Hoover, hate.

Sunday the 24th

Hey, Pluggers! Guess what I'm listening to! Yeah. Bollywood. Not Dollywood, stupid!

The comic:

Oh, damn! I didn't mean to insult Pluggers on The R's day.

This poor guy bought this car less than a year ago, and it is now worthless. Well, it was a trade.

Poor, poor RhinoMan.

All Pluggers are poor, but RhinoMan is the poorest - so who gets Pluggerville charity? Humans? Their "pets'?

And er, moment of silence for "Michael Melnyk". Even in Pluggerville, you only remember someone when they die. And had a car so bad the Salvation Army didn't want it! (Wait, wasn't that in a Foxworthy book?) My standard "somebody died" song.

::scurries away::

Saturday the 23rd

The comic:

Watching Malcolm. It's a bit absurd, but still hilarious and less insulting and patronizing than Pluggers, but I guess everything is, except for Mallard Fillmore.

Anyways.

I thought catch and release was about fishing! Dude is fishing. Dude caught a boot (does that really happen?). Dude will soon release the boot.

Or is this about the horrible bad luck of Pluggers? They never catch a fish, they never catch a break, their life sucks.

But they're better than the rest of us, because they never fish for fun, it's for food.

Though why he can't get his bear friend to catch fish the natural way, I'll never know.

Friday the 22nd

The comic:

A classic?

Does that mean this has run before?

I like that it's a guy - hyuk hyuk, guys can't fold maps.

Is he even on a road?

I wonder if he'll make his map into a swan. That would be cool.

I love his tongue out, he's so confused!

Thursday the 21st

The comic:



Yes, Josh has already covered this. But I still have to.

Of course wanted posters in Pluggerville have dogs and cats on them - they're the citizens and potential criminals!

Who calls a lost dog flyer a wanted poster? Pluggers, and by Pluggers I mean Reed Hoover and Brookins.

Non-Plugger electronic technology awesomeness whoring - microchips. The prices are going down, and even if your dog doesn't have a collar, they can scan him and find out where he belongs. Cool, no? All 3 of ours are now cyborgs.

Not that we wouldn't put up flyers.

I don't know what this comic is trying to say - non-Plugger neighborhoods are filled with 'real' wanted posters, like the ones they had in the wild west or at the post office long ago. So Pluggers aren't criminals, and they live in safe neighborhoods. (Or the Pluggers just don't care.)

Not that I've ever seen a wanted poster in any neighborhood, even the 'worst' Memphis ones.

Or is Hoover saying that non-Pluggers don't have dogs or cats? Or that we don't care if they get loose? Or maybe we keep an eye on our babies?

And of course, dogs and cats owning dogs and cats... sure, the argument can be made that Pluggers are humans and their pets are monkeys, but that smacks of evilution!

I just don't know.

Or it's their kids running away...

Wednesday the 20th

The comic:



Minnesota is so far north! And it has big cities! Why the double plugger attack?

Pluggers like to eat, but they feel guilty about it, so they rename their food.

I'm so glad the RhinoMan's got food to eat - more than just lunch and dinner. He's moving up in the world!

Tuesday the 19th

The comic:



I do like that this could happen - the submitter is from Minnesota, I'm sure he has a fireplace. Cuts his own wood? Maybe, maybe not.

I don't like the rest.

I really don't like the rest.

It sucks.

Monday the 18th

The comic:



So young Pluggers are only content if they're anorexic? (I know, I know, some people look anorexic but aren't, but honestly - you're 18 and your waistline is 18 inches around?)

We've seen young Pluggers before, maybe you can only become a Plugger once you're old, and then you can look back on your life with PluggerVision.

That's better than young Pluggers trying to match their ages and waistlines!


This comic isn't completely disturbing, because hey! RhinoMan's here, and he's happy. Good for him.

Sunday the 17th

The comic:


Dave Brookins of Richmond, Virginia?

Good God.

Onto the comic - ha ha, Pluggers don't need computers and the only Facebook they use is a book... really close to their face... because they can't see.

Er.

What?

Saturday the 16th

The comic:



Okay. Commercial time.

A Psych marathon would rule. Or an Arrested Development one!

Anyways, I rarely keep still during an hour long show(or I wouldn't be doing this), so I'm not a Plugger.

Yay!

But yeah, lazy.

And they have self-winding watches, whatever those are.

I used to wear an Eeyore watch, but I fiddled with it too much and the clasp thing broke. Now my cell phone is my watch.

Back to Pluggers, before Psych, oops.

This guy's dead, unless it's true that Pluggers can't even be bothered to move their arms while watching TV.

Mummies!

Friday the 15th

The comic:


I'm sure I have my fair share of wire hangers, but I don't go to dry cleaners that often.

So...

Pluggers...

Are...

Old.

::sigh::

But hey - I'm all caught up!

Now how will I put off fixing my English rough draft?

Thursday the 14th

The comic:



GET FUCKED, PLUGGERS.

Wednesday the 13th

The comic:


Newsflash: Pluggers remember things they notice.

I love the look on her face - a mixture of surprise and anger. Like she's been in a cave for the last 10 years ago or something.

Tuesday the 12th

The comic:



How sad.

And disgusting!

Those should be replaced before they reach antique status. I mean, ewwwwww.

But still sad. Look at her face. That towel is too small for anything but her hair, and it's all she has. And it's as old or older than her.

But if Pluggers are cheap enough to hold onto to towels for that long, wouldn't everything in their house be antique? Though I guess antique means 'expensive, elite' and not 'old'.

Because all non-pluggers are craaaaaaaaaaaazy about the antiques.

Monday the 11th

The comic:



I can see this happening.

I mean, he's from California. Probably has good weather most of the year. Uses a clothesline.

But you can't buy a washer that new and call yourself a plugger!

Sunday the 10th

The comic:



MY EYES MY EYES SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP MY EYES

There is something WRONG with that cat!

And I say that as a dog owner!

Jim Stepleton, you are one sick fuck. You and Brookins. ::eugh::

Mousetraps don't "work on cheese", they "work on" springs or glue or poison. (Chocolate and peanut butter are better at first, but after the first few deaths, they wise up.)

Animals are pluggers. An animal is referred to as a mousetrap. It kills other animals. TWISTED.

Also, cats need more than milk to survive.

Those three sets of mouse eyes will haunt me until I die.

...

Or see one of my puppies again.
