Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 20, 2020

Gee, how do I comment back by snail mail?

I can just picture the letters page editor at the newspaper looking at a non-emailed submission, wondering who he can find on staff to key it into the system.

Pluggers don’t have typewriters.

Write it and they will read …. Maybe ;-)

A true south paw .

Being a southpaw immediately qualifies you as a plugger.

Letters and Postcards are a Pluggers social media.

No, we say it in comic comments (grin)

President Obama, Sara Wiseman, my daughters, and I, are all left-handed. What’s your superpower?

That way they had time to think about what they were putting on paper, instead of the #knuckleheads that comment without engaging their brains. :-) # See Frank and Earnest :-)

Do editors even read paper mail anymore? I guess the ones that have secretaries could have it scanned.. OCRed and then forwarded as an email.. then the editor can read it on his smartphone.

My HS Creative Writing teacher said if we ever got anything published to bring it back & she’d change the grade to an A. Twice (in the last forty[cough] years) I’ve had letters in the LATimes, but honestly the writing quality is still about B-, at best.

My husband and I met as a result of me writing a letter to the editor!

It could be the only way to avoid being censored

Any thing worth saying is worth not saying on social media.
