Julie Larson began writing The Dinette Set comic in 1990, then called Suburban Torture, offering a satire on middle class culture. The Dinette Set became syndicated in 1997. When asked where Julie gets all of her ideas, she admits there is only one way to write a daily comic: write about what you know. "I make no bones about who’s really talking in The Dinette Set," says Julie, who is writer, director and cast of The Dinette Set. "If we can’t make fun of ourselves, who will?"

There is no “peace” in the comic today. A “peace” symbol is not really “peace.’
“Valley of the Dolls” and “The Exorcist” are not children’s books.
Joy never read any children’s books for her own enjoyment.
I have read them for my own pleasure after I became an adult.
And, when I read books to children, I had always read them first.

My mother always read books to us. She read all of the Little House book series that were available to us when we were children.
My parents would never have read any adult novels to us.
Dad sometimes told us scary stories which I found out later were just urban legends. But, those stories never gave us nightmares nor made us scared of the dark.
Mom also read many of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales and Aesop’s Fables, too.

…and shouldn’t it be The Cat in The Hat not in a hat?
A book that I disliked when I first read it in grade school.
Dr. Suess… A hard-drinking man… chain-smoked while writing….

Aw adfogg. Next thing you’ll tell me that there is no Santa Claus!
I loved Green Eggs and Ham. Or was that Sam?
