Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 26, 2015

Crossword puzzle.

Obits

When I used to get newspaper: I’d go to comics, obituaries, and readers’ answers to a random question (all three not in that particular order).

Comics first.

Back when I used to read the paper it was News, Weather, Sports and Entertainment (“Entertainment” being the comic section).

I don’t get a “paper” paper. Online, the order is terrestrial weather, spaceweather, comics, columns, and finally (after my coffee), news.

‘When’ I read the paper, I always read the ‘entertainment’ section(comics), obits, sports and then place it in the bag for recycling paper. Never read the news(always so depressing even 4 cups of coffee wouldn’t help)!!

I always read the comics last. That way I am left with a happy mood.

You forgot “Dear Abby”.

I don’t bet on anything, so I skip the lottery and sports results.

You left out the obituaries.

I do the Comics Last so that I’ll at least end on a High Note. Same with Food!

Our local paper is a pitiful little thing they roll up and secure with a rubber band. I usually only check the front page. The big city newspaper weighs 4 lbs, 3 of which is ads. I have already read anything of interest online or have seen it on TV. What a waste of trees!

“Comics first, good news before bad news”.Same here, but good news is hard to find…

An earlier comic said that Pluggers first always check the obituaries.

Josh Lyons: Comics are the literary section.

I never miss the comics. I also like the puzzles.

Incorrect. The first section they read are the Obituaries.

Pretty much all that’s left of our local paper anyway.

Pluggers still read the paper.

His newspaper still carries lots of classified ads? Is this strip a reprint from 1997??
