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?"

They also decided to play without the board,
so they wouldn’t have to do all that complicated arithmetic…
Triple letter, double word…
who’s got time for THAT?
(More like who’s got the 2nd grade arithmetic skills to DO it?)
So not only will this game have the shortest words ever, it’ll have the lowest scores, too.

pssstt…
Not that I want to tell on Joy…
but read the To Do list….
she’d cheat her own mother!
I dunno why that would be surprising.
And SimpsonFan…. NOTHING will keep that couch level…
especially when only one of them is sitting on it.
Timmy hates to sit on the couch cos if one of he adults sits down, his end goes so high in the air it’s hard to get down.
And no, it’s WORSE if the other person stands up for him…
It hurts when his seat slams to the ground.

Think maybe they are playing with the q and z this time? No board either I wouldn’t want to play with them either. I have a hard enough time playing word games with people who don’t cheat.and we don’t use a dictionary either. My spelling sucks anyway. Dyslexia kicks in at the wrong time for me. I love the spell check though.

It also looks like Joy had to try three times to find a game she could cheat at.

“Make Ding Dongs for Ma” I wonder if Ma taught Joy to “make” ding dongs.

Does Bul’s shirt mean that he plans to stand on his head? I think that is almost as unlikely as his running a marathon. Susan’s ideas for the location of thir dictionary is also likely. Ith only printed ones I have now are the ones to translate in or out of other languages.

I like the cross stitch, “Bricks are smart too”. I just wouldn’t want to run into a whole wall of them, they’d stonewall me.

How does a “ding-dong” make a “ding-dong”?

According to the list item on the board, someone is cheating. :-)
