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 toenails on my fingers! said, 9 months ago
I wonder what’s in that room or closet upon which the occasional bowls sit. Tags?

Hoof — and Lummox for lummoxes.
My method is to buy the genuine article only for someone who would recognise it.
So you don’t give good crystal to someone who looks at the price tag to distinguish it from Dollar Store glass.
Or $30 wine to someone who just loves Two-Buck Chuck.

Bless your heart Joy, everybody already knows you’re cheap. They’ll just be glad you didn’t re-gift them or pick up something at the dollar store of a garage sale. Or wrap up something that Burl either found or liberated down at the U-Stor-it.
@toenails: Here in the South, there’s always a useless room with useless stuff in it that nobody ever uses. Supposedly it is for when the Pastor/Minister comes to visit. Do you remember the old joke about the (dumb) blonde who went to buy a sexual couch because her decorator told her she needed one for an occasional piece in the living room?

Toenails…. maybe it’s a giant case of the Dixie Chinette.
That’s what they sell best in Crustwood.
Also, I finally recognised your avatar…
I knew I’d seen it but the familiar part is cropped off…
Your mentioning our avatars jogged my memory…
I realised who you must think drew mine…
Actually not the artist of yours but her father…
Lotta people think that but it wasn’t him.
It was done by Rodd Perry, who until January was the artist of Brevity.
He very kindly did it just for me, cos I’m such a big fan.
An honor!
Hope you see this!

Man…. they’re still detaining Marg.
Wish she’d stay out of trouble….
I can’t do everything while Leaky’s away.

It’s three Buck chuck these days. At least in Houston.

Aw, they really like the recipient so she’ll have the store mark it up to $250 on the tag.

I am in the Mojave Desert this week to celebrate the Blue Moon of August". At some point tonight I’ll try to channel them, invoking the spirit of the Hekawi tribe.

The most amazing thing today…. ? ? ?…. is the clerk actually seems to have eyes…. ! ! !

Marshal Fields used to do a great job of gift wrapping… But not for free……..
.
Now days.. people use more decor bags with tissue for color.. Faster / easier than wrapping…. ! ? !
.
PENNYs no doubt have a stack of these bags ready for reuse…… If not.. I have probably 20.. I could sell them……

Susan, a great honor indeed to have a portrait by a famous cartoonist. I do all my own photos from pictures that friends took and I just crop and copy. I have just been taking videos to send to BF (nothing to be seen by others). ;-D
