Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 05, 2019

Pluggers were indeed raised with a sense of sartorial decorum that their cubs and kits do not possess. :/

I know what they are saying – why do they dress little girls in “dresses” that look like they forgot to put on a skirt or pants and then wonder why they dress like strippers when they get older?

well, consider me one of the older pluggers

Yup

Let this plugger think back…

Yep, Levis, Tee shirt, loafers, Luckies roll-up in my tee shirt sleeve, pound of pomade in my hair and stealing my older brother’s model B.

Humm I take this style of wearing one’s pants this way as a teaching moment. Now you know how difficult it is for some older folks to just walk ;-)

Hey now. That’s their culture.

I told one young fellow with his pants hanging down like that, “You must be very brave”. He asked “Why”. I said “Because if you were to get into a fight you can’t run with your pants like that so you have to stay and fight”.

This should be a ‘No OK Boomer’ zone.

Oh come on plugger, I am sure your parents didn’t find guys wearing tight jeans that showed the outlines and open dress shirts exposing chest hair and huge afros a respected presentation either.

Hey Now you’re an All Star….scooby doodby doo!

Took a while to stsrt but the jump from Dukes of Hazard to Boyz in the Hood happened fast. But now that’s way out of step with the times too.

If it bugs you so much, stop staring at Norm like that! Look, now he’s Googling “what to do if you have a stalker”!

Underpants showing are embarrassing. butt crack is really bad.

Love watching Live PD when the young guys take off running and fall down when their pants slide down to their knees and they do a face plant on the ground.

I’m old but have to wonder how (un)comfortable it must be to wear pants with the crotch down by our knees.. WHAT is the point.. attraction????

When is this going to finally play out?

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Finally, folks, finally, at long last, Pluggers has weighed in on the trend of wearing baggy pants that sag low enough to expose your underwear, the trend that (according to the impressively detailed and cited Wikipedia article) began over 20 years ago in the mid 1990s, long enough ago that many who were young and hip when it started have since aged into pluggertude, long enough ago that the trend has had time to mostly peter out and then be revived, and here is what Pluggers has to say about it: pluggers simply do not care for it. They do. not. care. for. it. Congratulations, Pluggers, on producing possibly the least surprising Pluggers panel in the entire history of this feature.

Or “Teacher, teacher, I declare / I see someone’s underwear!”

Either way, in my experience it pretty much only applied to us girls when our skirts got flipped up. Boys didn’t care if the elastic on their tighty whities showed above their jeans waistbands.

It started with poverty; not being able to afford pants that fit & always wearing hand me downs you haven’t grown into. Then there’s prison; where you’re often issued pants that don’t fit.

I love that the kid’s droopy drawers match the plugger’s shirt collar

Yeah, really don’t understand that… but then my parents thought pegged pants were ridiculous.(they were… couldn’t get them on or off.)

When I was a kid it was “I see your hiney, all black and shiny!” But that’s probably racist now…

True story- When I was a cop, I saw a young man for whom we had a warrant. I pulled over and got out and he took off running, and his pants fell down. As I cuffed him, I told him “You would have gotten away if you wore a belt!”

I see Freddie I see Jack but when I look at you I see your crack.

Started in prisons….

It’s actually a protest statement against the oppressive restriction of clothing. Fortunately, many young women have come to see that wearing less and less makes for a happier world…
