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?"

For once Burl isn’t acting like all the typical morons when a camera is around. At a big fire.

Burl’s in shock. That’s the storage place where he works(ed)(?).
And he just remember he left that leaky gas heater on when he went to his two hour lunch.

She sure enjoys a rich fantasy life.

Dignity? does she even know what that is? Burl is waiting for an interview. Not that what he’ll say will be intelligent though

Because he didn’t want to leave the fire, and now he’s got a load in his pants and is afraid to move. What smells, indeed.

Read this first in the newspaper…. had a hunch that was the Green Blouse with Orange Flowers again…… Had to check it here to be sure…..
Remember BURL is civil defence chief… so he is caught slaking off…… ! ? !

Maybe it was the charcoal grill he was letting warm up and forgot about. “Corporate” is going to be p********.
Although he IS the manager; I can see him foisting this off on one of his workers.

If it isn’t the U-Store-It; maybe he’s there in his Civil Defense capacity and has “frozen” since he really has to do something.

I think you’re right. Burl wants to be first in whatever line there is in case there’s food or notoreity. But I disagree that it was a BBQ or a faulty gas heater. I think he and Jerry were lighting f**ts again.
