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?"

LOL. I wonder if brain bleach comes in holiday flavors? Maybe eggnog?

Bless me, Father for I have sinned….. The litany of teenage Catholic boys. Including the classic “I entertained impure thoughts.” (And boy, did they entertain us!)

I am not surprised. The Pennys are operating with just a spinal cord and vestigal reptilian brain. No thought, just reaction to environment.
If I were Tad, I would be super helpful. I’d ask what the limit was on their credit card and “help” them until we reached it.

I wonder if you’re supposed to run with the ‘Portable Scissor Set’?

I was just looking at the other offerings. Portable scissors sets. Be sure not to run with them. And the ever-popular lag bolt sets. You never know when you’ll need one. The plunger over the fireplace. Aunt Marge really needs one. y’know.
And just for you Debbie J, the interactive telephone for use with the self-massaging gloves. (That’s another “Bless me Father” matter for boys a little older.)

That has to be Family Dollar, or Dollar General. Which are not actually ‘dollar stores’, merely convenience stores with a whole lot of ‘stuff’. Every senior citizen makes a journey to FD or DG to buy cheap gloves, socks, scarves, and puzzles, checker sets, and imitation Barbies for the grandkids at Christmas. Along with their generic Gas-Ex pills and denture cream.

Back in Crustwood: Who would steal circulars for this place and how big are the lag bolt sets?

okay I have forgotten what I went into the store for to remember. I have went into a store to window shop. But just go into a store to just to buy whatever. and why would this store exist and who make these useless products.

Did anyone else do a double take before they realized that was Joy’s arm resting on the buggy handle?

I just assumed she was in a ferry accident.

Two find-its? Making up for earlier lapses?
What is that that goes with the lag bolt sets. …mgers?
