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?"

Oog.
Marg, we could make good money if we had the exclusive distributorship for that stuff in Crustwood.
We could make enough off
one sighting of Jerry on the beach to buy a delivery van….
Joy is so smart!
She knows she’d better cross off the line about hiding the money in a box, after she does it.
I mean, what if a thief read it….
or what if Jerry read it?
Oops….

“I’ve seen Big Foot”…..no; not me. That’s what’s on her cup. Someone must have gone to “Yetiland” and brought back a souveneir.

That was nasty. what will these people do if hostess workers go on strike. that would kill the product line what will the dinnette set community live on

She’s partly right. The folklore is that if your left palm itches, you’ll be getting money. If your right palm itches, you’ll be getting a visitor. I would hate to see what happens when her ears itch. If the Hostess workers do go on strike, the Pennys will hurry to buy up what ever is left on the shelves or they will be getting the heebie-jeebies, from not getting their daily fix. Perish the thought! lol

G Mornin’! Since they are being superstitious, maybe Joy thinks the pyramid box will multiply her money while she’s on vacation. This is one of the only times they have no Hostess stuff on the table.

Well, if you don’t like the mental image, you can just help Jerry evacuate his anal glands. ………………….. Didn’t think so.

I know a place where we can get Brain Bleach wholesale. Shall we start with 100 or 200 gallon bottles of the stuff? P. S., Did you see my message to you on yesterday’s Ballard St.?
