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’d love to see Burl’s parents one day. Oh wait, very bad idea!

What an ill-mannered oaf! What really rots my socks is that I know people just like him! GAH!

So…. putting two and two and maybe another two together….
and reading the To-Do list with Burl’s words in mind…
They must have spent less on everybody than anybody else spent on them,
including Timmy!
And now Joy feels so guilty she can’t even sleep at night.
I didn’t think they’d have anything to give to Goodwill, after using so much of their unwanted stuff as Christmas presents…
“Oh wow, Joy… I think I gave you a sweater just like this a couple of years ago!”
“Really? I don’t remember that!
Anyway, that one was…um… green, or something, wasn’t it?
Not blue like…cough…. this one….”

Where do I get one of those B.U.M. shirts?

They are probably giving “toxicly stupid” items to Goodwill and are thankfull they’re not coming back and dumping said items back on their doorstep.

Looks like MARLENE saw JOY’s “To Do List” and was reminded to write her own notes…. DALE and BURL…. should not be in this “women talk” conversation…

At least Joy and Marlene have a dim memory of "Thank You " cards, unlike their insignificant others.
When we were growing up, our mother had stacks of cards ready on the 26th and lists of people who gave us gifts. Those cards were written before anyone got to do anything with the gifts. 1. Thank you for the…2. It means so much coming from you and I will think of you, etc. 3. Thanks again.
We taught our kids to do that, but alas, the grands have forgotten.
