A "Pluggers" cartoon

Pluggers is a comic panel created by Jeff MacNelly in 1993 that relies on reader submissions (referred to as "Pluggerisms&quot for the premise of each day's panel.
In the context of this strip, "pluggers" are defined as rural, blue-collar workers who live a typical working-class American lifestyle,
accompanied by a mentality characteristic of the G.I. and Baby Boomer generations.
