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?"

She oughtta name her car “Crisco” cause it’s packed with lard!
I certainly don’t want Joy to be nervous—it gives her gas, y’know. I’m nervous whenever she’s on the road and I’m 1,500 miles away.

Not enough seatbelts to go round, I’d wager. BTW, I found the Find-It, but what the heck IS it???

Why would this group hang with her, let alone have her make a decision? Do they owe her money? Is it pity? Does she sometimes buy lunch at the “Carb Heaven Buffet”? (extremely doubtful) or is it some type of Court ordered sentencing? (a distinct possibility).

Hard to figure why the Penny’s have any friends, unless everyone in Crustwood IS the same way, then there are relative such as Patty who will evenually leave. . . ?

They are going to be even more uncomfortable coming back from the buffet.

They are as stupid as Joy to cram in together like that

DUMB Joy and even DUMBER 5 large friends agreeing to this arrangement. Although a very sly move on Joy’s part not to mention the Marlene stop until they were well on their way. Strange thing about that vehicle, though. Doesn’t seem to have any seat belts.

The find it is a steer w/horns like the ones on Texas Caddies. Seems apt, a car full of steers.
