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 knew their house would smell like a combination of Lysol and tapioca pudding.

Found! Where Mr. Rogers bought his sweaters.
I wonder what other little games B&J play later. “Burl, you’ve been such a bad boy, you need a spanking.”
Please, Imagination, don’t go there! Too late, brain bleach time.

I told my wife she could Christmas shop for herself last year and I had much better taste than when I do the shopping

Not to worry! No way they would show any more creativity in the BR than they do elsewhere. And I would guess house smells of just Lysol and pot-pourri is the smell (unless worse) as no cooking goes on in their house.

No creativity in hiding places either. And Joy did not even think to hide the store name (indicating just what his gift is).

In the Daily Heald…. TDS is 1.5 " Wide by 2" High…. Here it is 3.75" square. So they are shrinking the width by 1/4th….
As a result… Joy looks even thinner in the paper… ! ! !

I used to go to Arcamax for the new OBH strips, but now I just do this one and my local paper where I read my fav King strips.

I just learned on TV that ratings for your shows do not count if recorded unless watched within 72 hours (but I thank that can only be with the Cable network DVR; I know they can’t track my TiVo. Some things I record and may NEVER watch (Wagner’s whole cycle). I just watched part and put all on DVDs ;-D

I’m surprised Joy shops anyplace than the Dollar Dump. And to think they had a 59% off Black Friday sale! My husband and I just shop for ourselves ever since he got me a black and red striped sleeveless turtle neck tee shirt for ’Christmas! I think he just stepped into a store and bought the first thing he could reach! Gotta love it!
