What is he talking about? 'Window of opportunity'? What? Where?!

Pluggers, October 21, 2026

This seems like a pretty bleak Pluggers not just because it's yet another reminder that Pluggers are ever closer to death because the schools they went to are either unsafe to be used as schools anymore (damn building codes!) or everybody who lived where they did either moved away or died and the school was no longer needed.

I'm going to look at the upside though. Where I'm from, the school typically stays up and becomes abandoned. Very few are actually turned into anything because it is costly, most large consolidated schools are in rural areas and, again, the buildings are unsafe in some way. So would you rather have an empty field where your school once stood, or a dilapidated abandoned building that overshadows your town?

No, no. Large abandoned buildings are great.

November 7, 1967

Maybe you should get a job, Gladys, and Brutus can stay at home all day and do whatever it is that you do.

At least 1967 Gladys probably does more around the house than 2026 Gladys.

Wait a minute...*scrolls through literally thousands of comics where Brutus is in an office*...Brutus doesn't work in a cubicle!

Maybe being moved to a cubicle Veeblefester uses as a punishment like with whatever Brutus did on Monday.
 

So? We'll Just Have To Come Back On Monday

November 18, 2025

I work in a middle school so my entire life is 6-7. I just ignore it and embrace it if I ever happen to say anything close to 6-7. What I don't like is how it's used here. Usually when you say your graduating year, you'd say "67", pronounced sixty-seven. You don't go "Hey, when did you graduate high school?" "6-7! [makes hand gestures]".

January 6, 1967

When I was young I had overnight babysitters. My mom would drop me off before she would go to her night shift job. These were the same babysitters that fed me bread in milk one morning. I was never a morning person, still aren't, and would occasionally fall asleep on the bathroom rug while getting dressed in the morning. I'm not proud of it but I hate having to be woken up in the morning.

Is Brutus also working with a bunch of middle schoolers the day before a week-long break?

Maybe the day would go by quicker if Brutus would leave the watercooler alone and get back to work.

Binge-Able

This feels like something that would be shown on Pluggers. "You know you're a plugger if you have to keep watching previous episodes of the TV show you are currently binge-watching. Hyuk, hyuk!" and there's a picture of, oh let's say, the dog-man in the panel saying "Before I watch episode 6, I need to go back and watch episode 5...".

I hear about this a lot, going back an rewatching an episode because you forgot what happened in it but I've never seen it in action. Do people do this or does this anomaly only afflict the older set who just also happen to have access to millions of eyes every day?

Speaking of binge-watching TV shows, I have three television series ideas that are ready and rarin' to go if a network or streaming service are reading this. You can email me through the About page.

What's That Apron Protecting?

Yeah, we get it, Pluggers are old.

Ok, I am tired of this storyline in Get Fuzzy. Just so you all know I didn't like "Dr. Strangelove" either. I also think "E.T." is a bad movie and don't get me started on "Kill Bill". I refuse to watch the Pixar movie "Cars" and have enjoyed every movie with Lindsay Lohan.

What's wrong with Curtis this week? He has been such a brat that it makes me hope someone starts beating him soon. I'd happily do it.

Why is he yawning twice in the second panel?

So does Crankshaft just go to random funerals to laugh at the deceased?

I get it now. His wife's soul has been transferred into the cat! Hmm, I don't really know if I'd want to clean out my wife's litter box.

Electro has a son?

I love the irony that Electro can't pay his electricity.

Yeah. I mean who really wants to see Little Reggie?

How sad. And after he introduced her to his bookie.


I don't think that's how that works. Just shovel the damn stuff.

Brutus Is Po'

As a matter of fact, yes. I was about to give birth and I'd rather die than have my child be a bastard so I dragged Daddy to an all night chapel, got married and an hour later, Billy was born. It was a busy night.

You're expecting more stars to hit you in the face?


Well, now we know why the mailman in the neighborhood is constantly drunk.


Heathcliff infringes on copyrights and trademarks and doesn't care.


What? I have read and re-read this Pluggers and still don't understand it. I'm guessing everybody in Chinook, Montana either knows each other or is related to each other. I'm going for the latter.


For those of you who regularly read Garfield Minus Garfield know what happens in that blog. The same could almost be done for Get Fuzzy at this point. When the strip began, Rob had friends but they have all vanished and now Rob mainly converses with his animals.


And poop. Don't forget poop.


Your money is safe. Your money is federally insured for up to $250,000 now so a good majority of Americans are protected. Jeez.


Why is Brutus sitting like that? He looks as if he's about to fall out of his chair. That can't be good on the back. Why is his desk so bare. Where's his computer? I'd even settle for a pencil cup.

The Incredible Shrinking Veeblefester

[Dennis the Menace for 10/02/2008]

Dennis is really talking about her big booty. Dennis is down with the plumpers.

Mmm...Me too.

Where'd the glasses, tie and briefcase come from?

So if you have a happy marriage you're a plugger? That makes me want to run out and get married.

Veeblefester is slowly wasting away. By the end of the week, Veeblefester will just be a dot in the corner of the last panel. But at least we may not have to look at that God awful yellow vest anymore.

And does the golf ball really need the KERPLOP sound effect?

I Painted My Toenails...Why Not the Dog?

No snarky comment. No insult to the storyline. Just a thank you and good-bye to Lynn Johnston who has entertained us for these many years and let us into her life on a daily basis.

No old woman--especially Lola--should ever be in this type of position. It's...unnatural.

I had a crush on Supergirl from the 1996-2003 series. Ooh, she was hot. I've also had a crush on Vampi and Jessica Jones from Alias (the Marvel comic book, not the show). But I never acted like this.

I actually watched some table tennis this year and it was so addictive to watch. But I was wondering if you, the reader, think that Get Fuzzy has gone downhill over the last year or so. It used to be a very original strip but now relies heavily on Satchel being stupid, Bucky mixing up words and Rob getting aggravated. Maybe I just spend too much time reading comic strips...

"Rape and murder..."

Ooh-hoo yeah. Oh God, those lips, those eyes, that...dorsal fin.

I did some research and from what I found, painting the dog's nails doesn't hurt. They even have toenail "pawlish" made especially for dogs so unless Wilberforce used actual household paint, I wouldn't be punishing him.

And I wish they'd actually show Kewpie once in a while.
