Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 21, 2021

Wouldn’t work for me. Always wear short sleeves.

Unless Mrs. Plugger has something to say about it.

If I did that the dogs would always be looking for a mooch ;-)

He bearly needs any of those. He just uses his bear hands.

This would have been interpreted very differently with a cat plugger.

I must have been a plugger and first grade. Never had a handkerchief or tissue.

Some ‘Pluggers’ never grow up—regardless of their age ! ! !(Which is the way it is supposed to be, BTW)! ! ! ! !

Wiping your nose with your shirt reminds me of an old song, Green Sleeves .

Isn’t that what sleeves (or long shirt tails) are for?

I just use my hand and depending on what;s on it, wipe it off on the back of my pant leg.

Many of us have what I call “an eating shirt.” Identified by the stain approximately nine inches below the collar.

I guess I’m not a plugger. I learned as a kid not to wipe my face with my sleeve. I do use too many paper napkins sometimes. Cloth napkins are nice if they are made of the right material.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Oh, do you use a scrap of cloth or paper to ensure that you don’t soil yourself and clothes? Well why don’t you go back to communist Europe, you effeminate weirdo.

Best to not try with the sleeve of an old school Pendleton wool shirt. Leaves a rash with heavy use. So I’m told.

I’m glad that most ‘pluggers’ save these eating manners for the privacy of their own homes.

Don’t sweat it. Tide Stick’ll get it.

..thus the reason for buttons on suit jacket sleeves, as thought up by Napoleon, himself !

The fur catches the crumbs.

Yes he does. We are not slobs……
