Everyday Humor Comics: Relatable Laughs from Pflugerville If you’ve ever worn the same sneakers to mow the lawn, walk the dog, and go to a wedding, congratulations—you might just be a plugger! This week’s “Everyday Humor” comics are a love letter to the ordinary—and a hilarious reminder that life’s best comedy is found in the daily grind.
About the Artist
Rick McKee is the talented cartoonist behind Pluggers, the much-loved comic strip that finds laughs in the quirks and routines of everyday folks. With a style that blends warmth, wit, and classic Americana, McKee’s panels are a daily reminder that ordinary life is anything but boring.
After years as an award-winning editorial cartoonist, Rick took up the “Pluggers” mantle in 2022, continuing the legacy created by Jeff MacNelly and Gary Brookins. His sharp eye for relatable moments and gentle, self-deprecating humor has made “Pluggers” a staple for anyone who appreciates a good-natured laugh about real life. Whether it’s a commentary on well-worn sneakers or the mysteries of finding a working flashlight, McKee’s art speaks to everyone who’s ever rolled their eyes and smiled at the little things.
1. Wife, Barber, Judge, Jury
There’s a special kind of bravery in letting your spouse cut your hair. Sometimes love means pretending you didn’t notice that “creative” spot behind your ear.
2. The Candle-Match Mystery
Why are matches and candles never in the same place when the lights go out? It’s one of life’s great mysteries—right up there with missing socks.
3. The Real Meaning of ‘Have a Nice Day’
In Pluggerville, when someone says “have a nice day,” they actually mean it. No sarcasm, no agenda—just pure small-town good vibes.
4. Full Name = Big Trouble
If you hear your full name shouted from the other room, it’s not good news. Start coming up with excuses, or maybe just make a run for it.
5. Movie Amnesia: The Gift That Keeps Giving
Getting older has its perks, like experiencing your favorite movies for the “first” time over and over again. Who needs new releases?
6. The Bathroom Urge
There’s an unwritten rule: if you see a restroom, you might as well use it. Better safe than sorry, right?
7. Gardening Wisdom
If it grows back after you pull it, it’s a weed. If it dies after you water it, it was a plant. Gardening: simple, yet so complicated.
8. Random Pain Generator
Sometimes your shoulder hurts just because. Getting older means pain is basically a surprise party that never ends.
9. Comics > Current Events
Why bother with the news when the real headlines are in the comic section? Forget world affairs—bring on the laughs.
10. Multitasking Sneakers
One pair of sneakers is good for mowing, dog walking, house painting, and fancy occasions. Fashion trends come and go, but comfy shoes are forever.
11. Chair Comfort: Maximum Relaxed Fit
If your favorite chair has molded to your shape, you’re living the dream. Extra points if it’s got battle scars from years of loyal service.
12. Cassette Tape Jackpot
Back in the day, getting 12 cassette tapes for a penny felt like winning the lottery. Now they’re a box of memories in the attic.
13. Nightclothes Public Appearance
There’s no shame in wearing your robe outside. Real comfort means answering the door (and the neighbor) in your pajamas.
14. The Need for Speed (Extra Seconds)
Traffic lights definitely change faster these days. Or maybe you’re just taking it slow and steady—and that’s perfectly fine.
15. The Ground Gets Farther Away
You’re supposed to get shorter as you age, but the ground keeps getting farther away every time you drop something. Gravity’s a prankster.
16. A Second Breakfast (of Pills)
If your morning pill routine fills you up, you might be a plugger. Bonus if your pillbox could double as a lunch tray.
17. First Nap Timing
After you wake up, the real question is: how soon is too soon for your first nap? The answer is always “not soon enough.”
18. Pre-Coffee Disclaimer
Before that first cup of coffee, nothing you say should count. It’s a universal law for pluggers everywhere.
19. Bench Appreciation at Art Museums
Some go to art museums for the masterpieces. Pluggers are just there for a good bench and a chance to rest those tired feet.
20. Review Recap: We’re All Pluggers
If you smiled, nodded, or just felt seen, you’re officially part of the club. Everyday humor isn’t just funny—it’s true!
