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?"

Shut the door, Burl. Please! Usually it’s Jerry who leaves the door open, but just for today…
I can promise you that we all want to give Burl all the peace he wants if he will just close the door, turn on the exhaust fan and use the air freshener.
Marg, how’s Leaky doing? Please give him our best.

I’m not all that familiar with Crustwood. Is C. C. Lown somehow related to the Pennys?

The X is spiking the punch in Brewster Rockit.
Oh wait…. wrong strip.
Hey, was that one your “X,” X?
Meanwhile, if that was a real question,which it probably wasn’t… I have no idea why he extra “C” cos usually it just says “Clown.”

Anyhow…. Good Morning Crustwood!
Every dope says you’re an idiot Dale…. and a lotta non-dopes say it too.
“May” cause irritation?
Everyone in this strip should be labelled “Known to cause irritation."
Well, maybe not Timmy. Not sure about Patty.
And I don’t want to hear about any sort of bits or peace or pieces from Burl when he’s where he is or doing what he’s doing.
SHUT THE DOOR!
This picture seems to be recycled from a Christmas strip…. we’ve seen that creepy looking clown with the Santa beard before… and one mug says “Holiday cup.”
What is that thing in front of Joy…. it seems to be emanating vapors.
Or is it a fan…. or one printed on her T-shirt?

And get better, Leaky!
We need you to protect us from Burl and creepy clowns.
Oh wait…. maybe that’s the same thing.

If I were that “X” I couldn’t say anything about it and if I’m not then I don’t know anything.
But I can tell you XXX XXXX xXXX.

Maybe the Pennys need a Soundly Baffling Bathroom Door.
ekw said, about 1 year ago
I did find the X.
right before I passed out.
maybe they should move the fan from her shirt to the bathroom.

Also found the X. Good job of hiding it today, but it’s in plain sight.

For those of you who read C’est La Vie, check out the author’s blog entry for 9/4/11. It’s sorta like this, but raised to at least the tenth power.

Phew! Shut the door already, will ya? Maybe you’ll get more peace that way. Or maybe he doesn’t want to miss anything they say about him. lol
