Plop Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Plop: The Hairless Elbonian is an experimental spinoff of Dilbert, also written by Scott Adams. Currently, there are twenty-eight comics. It follows the life of the titular Elbonian, who, having absolutely no hair, is an oddball in his country. In order to explain this away, he hypothesizes that he is an alien from an advanced race with a high level of intelligence.Plop was so named because that was "the first thing my mom heard when I was born three months prematurely". From strip #21 Plop starts to rename himself to "Squat". The background reasons for this name-change are explained in Dilbert newsletter No. 39.
Plop's father works at the Unidentified Meat Center, whose purpose is to find out what type of meat certain items are. However, this job is rarely done properly, as exemplified by the example of having a tire tread called "llama".
Most comics show the idiocy of the people in Elbonia, either because of or leading to its fourth-world status.
