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?"

Tuesday underpants? Burl has TUESDAY underpants?
I had him down more as a January underpants sorta guy. (Febrezing as required, obviously . . .)

Pacopuddy….
You can only wear January underpants for a month, and you need 12 pairs to get through a year.
Having days of the week underpants means they get 6 days to air out between wearings…
so you might only need to wash 7 pairs at the end of the year.
Unless he messes up…. ew…. that could be taken…..
the wrong….or is it the right?…. way…
OK, I just drove myself straight to the Brain Bleach.

If Burl would wear ‘em one day, thurn ’em inside out and wear ’em another day, according to Susan’s math, he’d only need four sets of skyvvies.
I’m with GymShoe, although I’m more of the belief that it was a seismic event rather than a blow out. Burl would put a blow out into the laundry as usual, but even he would have to dispose of something global.

What is the occasion that Joy would be doing laundry anyway? Or is she just RINSING as usual?

@Pacopuddy
I picture him as an annual underpants kind of guy.

Isn’t the issue whether or not he took them off for “some” reason, and forgot to put them back on? Then again, I can’t even begin to imagine that…

A blowout would explain the skid marks.

Laundry? I figured them for trade-ins at Walmart.

My sister-in-law would dress her kids thusly: on the first day, normal; second day, put their shirts on backwards; on the third day, turn their their shirts inside-out; on the fourth day, she would then put the shirt on backwards again, but still inside-out. Four days on one shirt. Her kids smelled funny. And I don’t mean ha-ha funny. Maybe I’ll start going to work doing that.

Is Joy looking thru clean or soiled laundry? Never mind! I don’t want to think of either where the Pennys are concerned.
