Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 23, 2010

@ Joe-Allen:

Perhaps no one writting to this one-panel strip hasn’t had any ideas (yet).

Joe,

It is too an SUV! A super ugly vehicle!

Has Pluggers “Jumped the Shark?” No good ideas left? Say it isn’t so!

…….nor does it have a catalytic converter or onboard computer. And, oh by the way, it doesn’t try to take off of its own volition in an attempt to reach 100MPH!

Probably has a 3 speed on the column cracked vinyl seats and the gas gauge doesn’t work anymore.

But that plugger SUV has been down the dirt road, up the two-track and into the wilderness to where only pluggers and mountain goats go. Then it comes back out with a load of elk and a half-cord of wood. Do that with your Escalade!

I’ll be it doesn’t even have little video screen showing what’s behind when he backs up or gauges that tell him if his tires are losing air— what a piece of s….!

Bet it has a tool box though.

Mine’s got heated seats…it only takes 4 or 5 minutes for my butt to warm them up.

A Plugger’s SUV doesn’t have a what, or a what or a WHAT? What are those?

Fishy, you mean you’d take advantage of a Government program with a loophole in it?

No, but their KID”S SUVs do.

Thank you, Joe-Allen, for another keen-sense-of-the-obvious comment, but you missed the point - AGAIN!

Actually, “plugger” (as the strip’s listings indicate) refers to the verb “plugging”, meaning “working steadily”. A “plugger” is someone who keeps “plugging away”.

Pluggers don’t buy new SUVs; they pollute enough with their old cars.
