Take care and be happy Gary, you have more than earned it. Thanks again for all that you have given us! And as TEMPLO S.U.D. has said welcome aboard Rick may you have a long and fulfilling run as well! ;^)
The nice thing about retirement is you only have to do what you want. Yesterday me and a couple of old farts fed the homeless in our town. Yes, we wore masks and gloves. I do believe we received more than we gave. Gary, may your retirement be full of joy as well.
a LONG and happy retirement doing whay YOU want, no deadlines! Just wish i could have found the Pluggers find low tech solutions for high tech problems!
Gary, wishing you a happy and long retirement. Thank you for the many years of Plugger comics. I think it is extremely classy of you to take the time to acknowledge and thank your readers with a little note within the comic. Not just one day, but two! That is an appreciated and unique gesture not witnessed among several recent comic creator retirements.

Pluggers – not cutting edge, not always correct, but always honest and kind.

Thanks so much. I’ve been sharing the strip with my dad for years, he’s an ageless plugger.

As one plugger to another, hope you have a happy and long retirement. I really didn’t have a choice, they told me I was too old to work.
