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?"

I think that one of the flowers in the vase is supposed to be a pinecone.

That just figures! The strip is finally big enough again that I don’t have to strain my eyes to see it, and I can’t find that bleeep pine cone any where! (Oh wait! Is that it on the head of the guy on the right? His hair looks kind of pine cone-y)
Arrggghhhh!!!

I am just guessing, but I think it is the earring.

Burl’s head might as well be a pinecone for all the brains he seems to have.

I don’t know who’s more brainless, The Dinette Set dumbos or those of us who waste time reading it every morning - and looking for mundane objects!

And agian, I say, the scary part about all this is, somewhere out there are REAL LIFE Burls, and Joys and company!

The closest thing that even slightly resembles a pine cone is in the bouquet of flowers. Apparently, Ms. Larson forgot to add detail to it.
Yes, there are pine trees which have pine cones in that elongated shape.
The only way a TV mini-series or a short documentary series can be canceled is that the network decides not to show the whole series.
Ken Burns documentary series was called “THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA’S BEST IDEA.”
Best idea? As in taking land from the Native Americans and turning it into a government owned park?

I think the appeal of this cartoon is similar to the appeal of “The Simpsons”. We all feel smarter than the characters in the ‘toons!

I hate people like FishStix. You come here to judge people on your high horse. I’d rather be a comic reader than a stuck up idiot.
