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 have to admit I love Burl’s comment today.
Leaky I hope you have a note explaining your absence yesterday.

Sounds like a neat way to have an informal party for no reason; just to have fun. If that’s Connie’s plan, then why in God’s name would she ever, ever invite the Darwin women and their (in)significant others! I agree, Marg, Burl’s comment is clever.
Joy is onto something, though. Going a whole day without mayo is like going a whole day without bacon. What’s the point of going a whole day at all under those circumstances?

A slight addendum, Susan and I are co-owners.

Yes, thanks for the promo, x_Tech, but it’s
“Susan & Marg’s
Xtra Strength
Brain Bleach"
… and yes, it’s bottled right here in Crustwood, and available direct from us.
Cheaper and stronger than that commercial brand you showed yesterday.
Support your local business.

Actually half the bottles say
“Marg and Susan’s”

Sorry to hear you had a bad day, Leaky.
Hope the healing is progressing well.
I tried to tell you it’s too soon to go back to that club with the mud-wrestling matches.
I know the girls are pretty… but two at a time is just too much with your bad shoulder.

Meanwhile…. Crustwoodians, I’m ashamed.
It’s finally happened.
Too much time with the Pennys.
As soon as Verla said “We have to bring something,”
my fingers were ready to type “Tartar sauce!”
And then Burl said…. cough, choke…
the exact same thing I was thinking.
Nooooooooooooooo……

I can go a day without mayo…as long as there is Miracle Whip. :)

I can go a whole lifetime without mayo OR Miracle Whip – especially with the great variety of mustards out there not made by Kraft.
I couldn’t go more than a week without bacon though.

Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning would be preferable. What say you, Leaky? Or Maybe Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Guppy Seasoning. Tartar sauce is so Crustwood though.

Maybe they could zip over to the Dollar Dump and pop for a faux coral or a little submarine for the fish tank. For a $2 investment they could more than eat that at the party no matter what the menu is.
