Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 29, 2014

Good Times, Good Memories.

He’d had dreams of ‘Bouncing’ the Grandkids on that Chair.

That chair looks like it’s good for another ten years or so.

little duct tape . . .

Yes, his favorite chair being callously tossed aside. Note also the empty pint of the fellow’s favorite potent elixer as well. I wonder if that bottle is a new addition as he “cried in his beer” or was just a part of what was being left for recycling?

Ahhh, the annual “see no evil, speak no evil” anonymous curbside pickup! Of course, by the time the city crews arrive, the pile has already been picked over by the scavengers.Nothing wrong with scavenging; but, I always wonder how much of the stuff they collect ends up in a garage sale across town? After all, one person’s trash might be another person’s treasure.

It is a bit hard to tell in a strip featuring anthropomorphic animals, but looking at the shredded chair, I would say there are one or more cats in the house. My wife had a chair like that she wouldn’t part with until it structurally fell apart. It was the favored scratching post of her cats.

I know exactly what you mean. Every thing has so many memories attached to it.

My younger brother has the chair that was our Dad’s, a chair that was in pictures when I was barely a toddler. How old? Here’s a hint: I’m collecting social security. (hastily adds: it’s been recovered a time or two…!)

Heck, that chair is just broken in! And besides, you can never buy a new one of anything you own. Doesn’t exist.

I hope he searched the chair for lost money.

Looks like the same woman that wanted to throw away the Made in the USA shirts.

I’ll bet the people who stack trash in front of the maibox don’t read Pluggers. Gary obviously drew it this way to better locate the chair so we’d know it was being disposed of. I read it the first time and thoujght “he should’ve put it on the patio.”

Give it to the family dog and then you can borrow it from time to time if it’s OK with FIDO!
