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?"

And the window is where you put that certain lamp.

Burl and Joy are so very, very traditional, don’t you know, what with the traditional Ronco artificial tree and all.
Now I have to know, just what does a Jingleberry smell like? Something like its rhyming cousin perhaps?
And there’s a lot of hope going on today, with Verla’s desire to have her bell jingled and Burl dreaming of a Yule log.

I thought at first that they should just get a small tree instead so they could put it on top of the TV…. then they’d BOTH be in front of the window.
I mean, who needs to look out the window and see a suburban street, when you have TV showing you the world…. and deodorant sticks are 3 feet high.
Verl wore a different shirt yesterday with the same request printed on it.
The poor dear’s bells must really need jingling.

Debbie, I thought the Find-It was an eye,
but since I don’t see one, and there’s no other explanation for that symbol on the box…. maybe so.

This time of the year it’s OK to call them jingleberries.

Better jingleberries than dingleberries!

Funny, that was my thought too – never heard of Jingleberries!
.
When I set up a tree, it goes in front of LR window, but my downstairs TV is in the great room where I am now (dining room and computer room – painted in opal birds on red).

“Yule Log” pretty much describes Burl;dense and pretty much inanimate with the possibility of bugs clinging on to him. Add the Holiday scented deoderant and the package is complete.
