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?"

You borrow one of your Mom’s dresses, Jer. No one will ever notice the difference.
Look outside the window in the bushes…

Oh, honestly, Joy - “fair” is just another 4-letter “F” word.

Does that thing on Burl’s shirt say “Fale”…?

well decide now, are you going to get the vaccine or not, when your group is announced , you will be ready.

So, Burl is telling Jerry to dress up in female drag if they vacinate women first?
When Burl is not working at U-Stor-it, he wears shirts with names and logo on them of the kind that one can buy at a 99 cent store or at Big Lots.
The totally clueless and over 50 male members of The Dinette Set do wear T-shirts which were made for women and have logos on them for women’s stores and products.
This time last year, I had already had my annual flu shot.

Hmmm, looks like the death panels are already in place, rationing health care to the elderly, one of the top 2 most vulnerable groups to the swine flu.
Enough politics, the pig is outside in the hedge on the right!

First, to those who helped me out in finding the pig …
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Since I stopped reading Highlights 50 years ago, I haven’t been in practice finding extremely complex hidden images in pen and pencil sketches. ~~~~~SARCASM OFF~~~~~
Second, there are no death panels and never were.
Third, this isn’t rationing health care. This is the situation of queuing up for receiving treatment in an orderly manner with those most at risk to contracting the disease and those most being necessary to continue functioning to give treatment being first to queue up.
Fourth, these clownshoes are NOT the elderly.
Fifth, EVERYONE* will get their flu shot.
Sixth, no matter WHAT kind of health care system is in place, whether it is the sane type being obstructed by the right wing lunatics or not, it is IMPOSSIBLE to design, manufacture, distribute, and apply, 300,000,000 million doses overnight.

Look up whats in a flu shot, then decide if you want that injected into your body. We NEVER get flu shots, and never get the flu either.
And whats the “swine flu”? Never heard of it. Ive heard of the H1N1 virus…

How precious! A strip about swine flu and we’re supposed to find the pig? Ho Ho Ha Ha!
Oh, and by the way… If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is ‘free’.
Say, misterwhite - there are several thousand plus page versions of health care bills floating around congress - how do you know one or more of them (or their dozens of amendments) don’t contain some kind of death panel wording in one form or another?
Yeah BigGrouch, I know where you’re coming from!
I was in the army for 4 years.
The first year I had the flu, and then they gave me a flu shot.
The second year, they gave me a flu shot and then I had the flu.
The third year they gave me a flu shot while I had the flu.
The fourth year they gave me the flu shot and I didn’t get the flu!
God’s truth! Fourth times a charm, eh?
