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?"

The Mayor’s son’s neighbor… Why, that’s like knowing the Pope’s sister’s hairdresser.

Three degrees of separation?
Somehow, in Crustwood, even six wouldn’t be enough.

Query: What would you be driving if it takes a ¼ tank of gas to tour Crustwood?

Not only that, the cop knows the Police Chief. And Burl is perilously close to getting to know a municipal judge.
And Joy will then be able to tell Verl that Burl stayed at a special sports resort that was totally casual and they provided everything. Even a neat orange jumpsuit—probably in the spirit of both UT’s or Auburn or Syracuse. And they ate all together in a big hall off of plastic trays with plastic utensils. And he met a really nice man named “Tiny” who calls the house all the time now asking for Burl.

Hey I know a woman whose brother-in-law went to school with a boy who grew up to marry the woman who owned the bakery where a woman who works at the country club once saw Joy buy cupcakes.
But they all deny the connection.
Marg and x_Tech and dfowensby, I think I answered you too late yesterday.
Gotta sleep — as if I’m not already.
Nighty night, Crustwoodians!

I would mention my father was a policeman.
“Well you ought to obey the law then,” they would say as they handed me a ticket.
