Dog Eat Doug by Brian AndersonAbout The Dinette Set
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?"

That is by far the best explanation of brake lights I have ever heard.

You strip is the last one I read each morning. It isthe icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae. I can relate someone or some event in almost everyone of the panels. I even see people who are the spitting image of your characters. It makes you wonder how some people function in life. Keep up the great work.

We have people like this here, too.
One of the things i like about working nights is that there are fewer cars on the road when I’m out.

That’ bumper sticker could say, “Honk if you are as dumb as the driver as this car.”
Joy is clueless, too. The brake lights on their car does not go on automatically if Burl gets to close to a car in front.
We have people like the clueless folks of the Dinette Set. They think that bicycles are supposed to only be ridden on bike paths or on the sidewalks.
State law doesn’t apply to bike paths; but, according to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety and what is also in the Driver’s Manual, bicycles are supposed to be ridden on the street and on non-controlled access highways. They are not supposed to be ridden on sidewalks.
Of course, the law doesn’t apply to small children riding on sidewalks.
