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?"

An accident, obviously . . .
I can’t believe that Burl raked up leaves!

The tire tracks on the grass are a dead giveaway, Ma. Particularly since you climb the curb every time. Just one of the reasons Burl loves you so much.
What? Me? Political? Must be that other guy.

Not only did he rake leaves… unless those are special pick-up bags from the garbage company,
he actually bought those pricy brown paper yard waste bags.
(Hard to tell…
much magnified, the only legible one says “Yard Barge.” What?)
Anyway, I’m getting worried…. did the aliens keep Burl this time, and send down an android replica?
Wait…. why am I worried.
A replica that rakes leaves and uses compostable bags…

@Pacopuddy
Are you sure of that? I think she did it intentionally.

@Citizen GROG!
Right. It does look like she has a little smirk on her face while she’s doing it.

Now tell the truth, folks. Knowing the Pennys as you do, if you saw Burl’s leaf bags sitting there, wouldn’t you, too, run them over?

A few things are especiallly good… Ma’s smirk, her behemouth of a vehicle, and I also found the “Find It” pretty easily. Perhaps Burl got the “leaf bags” from rummaging around in the lockers at the U-Store it?
