Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 23, 2020

Again, fare thee well, Mr. Brookins, and welcome aboard, Mr. McGKee.

How can we miss you when you won’t go away?

(just kidding, enjoy your farewell tour).

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! ;^)

Thank you, sir. For all the great comics. I suppose yesterday’s strip was supposed to run tomorrow? But that’s okay. Enjoy your retirement life!

I hope you have a long enjoyable retirement. Take Care.

ukulele hell no….guitar steve vai style!

Enjoy many a Power Nap Mr. B !

Welcome to retirement! How did I ever find time to work?

“THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED” IS DOWN THAT ROAD ……….

When you get bored you can do what I do, take up the accordion! Not really :o) Hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I’m enjoying mine.

Just found this cartoon. Guess I’ll have to go back to the beginning!

I’D LIKE TO THANK MR. BROOKINS FOR MANY HAPPY MORNINGS.

Thanks Gary. Keep pluggin’ along.

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

Happy retirement!!!

Enjoy! I’ve been retired for 16 years and have resisted the temptation to try painting.

That’s a great retirement plan! Enjoy!

Wonderful last panel. I hope you don’t make the missus too crazy with half the income and full-time at home.

If you want to paint trucks, come do mine!

You’re a retired Plugger if you plan your day and then do something totally different.

Love this cartoon

I will miss Pluggers! Thank you for the smiles you have brought. Happy retirement

I hit the “random” button all the time…love this comic strip!

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.

What are we going to do? No “Plugger”

New artist to continue copying Jeff’s style.

Enjoy GB.

Good and faithful artist, thank you for your years of uplifting vision. Onward to new adventures! Tomorrow we hunt new fields.

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.

Only a year & a half til I can retire. I’m looking forward to it!

I’m not far behind you. Enjoy it. I plan too.

What the neck! Third cartoon in a week hanging it up

I guess that Gary Brookins is going to switch from illustration to fine art. Good luck!

Happy retirement Gary, I know I’m enjoying mine…

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, I wish you a long and happy retirement. I’ve certainly enjoyed following Pluggers since day 1. Thank You and Good Bye ♥♥

I enjoy you comic strip. Has an old pluger myself, they remind of things I still enjoy, but most people don’t understand why.

Thanks again and more wishes for a great retirement!

Thanks and best wishes!

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.

This has been & will continue to be my favorite cartoon. I wish both Gary & Rick well, to each of you thank you.
