I think this might be the boomer version of "grill-pilled" if I had to hazard a guess.
I vaguely recall that it was supposed to portray some blue collar, working class person.
I just randomly found this quote, it seems interesting:
If you visit the cartoon's elaborate Web site -- do pluggers have elaborate Web sites? -- you learn that "Pluggers" was not created by some working class hack, but by nothing less than a committee. Reading the site's voluminous background information, you learn that "Pluggers" was conceived in 1993 by a group of five middle-aged men, none of whom seems to have much in common with the proletariat they seek to depict. One is a successful entrepreneur. One is a TV sitcom writer. Another is the "former CEO of a major American company." MacNelly, who prepped at Phillips Academy, is the well-off, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune, who lives in the "rolling hills" of Virginia and collects antique cars. These people are Pluggers?

So I guess it's the whole right wing portrayal of working class people, as opposed to those city people??

Bloody hell, it's just a committee trying to cash in on legally distinct "you might be a redneck" ...jokes
Maybe back in the 1910s lmao
As a poor, I dress like a train driver from the 1880s.
I wish I had the money for that kind of drip
I used to wear a barrel with suspenders but saved my money and invested it in real $5 city clothes.
I've been running around with the same newspaper over my crotch for the last 20 years
I stole some old clothes out of a random basement with Mr. Spock, and then Joan Collins made out with me.
I will believe that the artist of that strip is the only person to ever draw an anthropomorphic animal without wanting to fuck it until proven otherwise.
E: that is to say it’s a lot of things but I don’t think it’s a sex thing.
Oh there’s a liiiiiiittle bit of bear daddy going on here. Maybe not that the artist wanted to fuck them, but that they think that’s what honest, real women want to fuck.
Bear daddy isn’t real, it can’t hurt you.
But what about Soviet Bear Mommy?
can he hug me?

Pluggers aims to celebrate the simple, upstanding, stoic blue color types who form the backbone of this great country. But I’m guessing that it’s unintentional that the life of a Plugger is made by these little anecdotes to look suicidally depressing.
red, white, and blue
