G’morning Leaky and Marg…. They are ever so formal, this bunch.A rented tux is just perfect for a formal event in an all-you-can-eat buffet!
Leaky… and maybe he can get a blue tux with a velvet collar, like he wore to their wedding! I heard 1968 called and wanted them all back…. but a few are still lurking in the formal-wear shop where Jerry works.
He wears brown shoes (and brown socks!) whenever he can….they don’t show gravy spills….
though he might wear his blue golf socks with them to this event, if he finds a blue tuxedo.
Burl is so full of info. isn’t he? I can imagine Marlines’ cuff links are the ones so old the “silver” is flaking off. I wonder if Timmy gets laughed at when he shares this passed down wisdom with his class mates, or does his mom correct it before he goes to school?Just wondering…Good morning all…
Stout’s Buffet? Is that the owner’s name or the customers they want to serve? That ought to be quite an elegant event for sure. I assume the event is sponsored by a flier mailed out by Stout’s to their preferred customer list.
Stout’s where the dinner plates are 15" and the dessert plates are 12", there are no salad plates, salad is for display only, but feel free to use the creamy dressings over your other selections.
Does anyone think that Burl will have to use one or twp extenders for the cummnerbund?On another matter, I saw in yesterday’s news that Samsung et al. are introducing a Smart Watch linked to your smart phone. I immediately thought of DicK Tracy and Maxwell Smart and his shoe.
I agree with the comments about their attire and all. They don’t have a clue and it’s just an excuse to stuff themselves. The horn of plenty on the wall representing what they look forward to.
@Mikie, I heard about the phones (there will initially be at least 2 different companies producing them) and just as I thought back with Dick Tracy’s, it is too big and clunky for a woman to wear and I don’t even like to deal with the little screen of a cell phone (which realizes the Get Smart item- could easily take other forms, like a shoe).
Cuff links were jewelry for men to wear through buttonholes in sleeves designed for them. That was before people decided to have their ears, and/or other parts pierced; so they could display jewelry there. Piercing and tattoos indicate stupidity, in my opinion.
You may be new here. Julie Larson, The Dinette Set creator/artist, reuses strips, adding new dialogue and ignoring where the dialogue boxes point. Fans of the strip view this as everything from an endearing quirk to a cavalier arrogance. You can learn to live with it.

why don’t the dialogue boxes point to the person that’s suppose to be talking?
