Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 25, 2025

You’re a plugger when you emit noxious gases while driving.

I refuse to believe the average Plugger has car seat warmers.

If that’s Cinnamon [Bun] Bear, the aroma would provide additional therapy.

I’ve never had seat warmers before I bought my new car. It’s been really cold lately (everywhere), I’m on the road and the car hadn’t warmed up yet, so I tried it out for the first time. To quote Neil Diamond and the Monkees: “I’m a believer!”

A Plugger? No, a smart person yes.

Seat warmers are an idea from hell. Dad once had those in his car. I found it highly irritating and the awfull in the process when my behind started to heat up for no apparent reason. I would never ever have a car with seat warmers! Not even if I would have the money to buy such darn things. If my bck hurts, I put my acupressure mat under my shirt and snuggle up to the mat squeezed between my back and the backrest.

did not know what I was missing until my newer car had them, five stars

Seat warmers are nice but not needed ;-)

I loved it when I had to rent a car for business travel and it had seat warmers. Even when the AC was running, I would turn them on to relax my back on the 6-hour trip to Florida.

I love the seat warmers, I just wish I would have gotten the steering wheel heater also!

If only thay got warm enough to do that. Any that I have experienced barely kept your butt warm.

Mmmm, that is a comforting thought.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

That’s clearly how you would draw the panel if your original joke was about pluggers farting in their cars and then your editor was like “No, sorry, too gross,” but you were on deadline and you had to figure out how to use the same art for something else.

Never thought of that. I’ll have to try it.

I’ll bet she’s waiting in line at the Taco Bell drive-thru.

I bought a new 2002 Grand Prix in early summer. I didn’t know it had a seat warmer, I had never heard of it. I accidentally activated it and thought I was having a stroke.

I think seat warmers are the greatest auto convenience since AC… now, if I could just afford a car with steering wheel warmer.

I went out to get in my car this morning and then realized that I don’t have one. :)

Been there, done that. Chronic lower back issues from a congenital syndrome. :-(

Back in the 1990’s my girlfriend owned a Saab that had seat warmers. There were two settings, off and rump roast. Hot cross buns!

Agree, never had seat warmers, don’t want them either.

Oh so true ;)
