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?"

Wow…
While Joy wastes scarce water washing the car,
Burl raises a cloud of tiny dry grass clippings, covering its wet surface,
and getting stuck in the baking sun…
He then proceeds to set what’s left of the dry lawn on fire with a spark from the gas lawnmower.
Triple score!
Drought awareness trifecta!
And there’s a witness!
The crown is his!

Burl may have a point. I still think I might wake up someday and be tall, slender, young, rich, good-looking and a major stud.

Los Angeles has been in a drought for years. Yet they would still let developers build houses all over the place.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone yesterday with my call for Brain Bleach. I suppose my observations about the GBwOF are also off-limits, since it seems to be a recurring comment of mine. Same goes for missing finials. sigh So, in short, excuse me for living since I’m just an ambulatory cliche.

Pardon me but your comments about the GBwOF are always welcome especially if the strip shows in b&w.
And as far as Brain Bleach goes do you realize how many other people are dependent on BB comments?
Why without Brain Bleach the economy would be…
Ah, never mind.

Purple Sky!
Your unsolicited testimonials for Marg and Susan’s Ultra Super Strength Brain Bleach are always appreciated!
I have nothing against either of yesterday’s complainers, but they never comment here…. so why they feel they can tell the “regulars” what not to say is a bit beyond me.
We welcome everybody here, and not just those who do or don’t enjoy brain bleach….
so go ahead and join us, you guys…
You don’t have to talk about the green blouse…..
The only rule, as far as I’m concerned,
is “Show courtesy to other posters.” ….
Do be sure you follow that one.

Meanwhile…. a free shot of M&S USSBB all around….
and I want to assure everybody that the Christmas catalogue, coming to your mailboxes around November 1st, will be full of amazing gifts…
Yes, Toenails, including mugs, carafes, bleachpots and cozies for home and travel, and for every sort of decor.
BTW pipeline service is available from our wholesale department…
we have a crew of pipeline installers, or you can provide your own set-up.
We can also hook up to your previous installation,
if you have been receiving another brand of brain bleach, or hot or cold running soup or chocolate.
An inspection from our engineers would be required, and a small set-up fee….
and we do NOT recommend using lines that have ever held gas, kerosene, or any other non-potable substances.

They weill descend like vultures on unknowing Motels and strip the bathrooms and cleaning carts clean of every supply item imaginable. Along with the “breakfast bar” they pillage like no one else since Atilla, Scourge of God.

No, wait….I might be wrong on that!!! There are over 1300 medals missing from the Chicao Marathon and the Pennys have a car loaded with suitcases…..hmmmm……..and Burl was wearing his running shorts last week. It is possible that they will be driving to a non-descript spot to meet up with a “fence”? (Or run into a fence).
.
I shall make an anonymous call and drop dime on Burl……anonymously……..don’t tell! Hope there’s a reward.
