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?"

If that’s why she wears glasses, it’s one of the great failures of all time. But….what else did she inherit from dad? What else lurks in the gene pool?

There’s no deep end in their gene pool. : P

If I discovered that I was swimming in their gene pool, I think I’d purposely let myself drown.

That is when you pour in the old Brain Bleach, Susan. It might clean the gene pool too.

Mother nature gave the unused portion of Burl’s and Joy’s brain to Patty.

Patty probably got all the recessive genes — I’ll bet she’s got blue eyes while both Burl and Joy have brown, too.

Sometimes I fear that Patty and Timmy will suffer from the environs of Crustwood as it must just be mere chance that they seem to have more intelligence and awareness than anyone else there.

Maybe Patty and Timmy got their braininess from one of their grandparents. Genetics can skip a generation. I think God didn’t want the Pennys to be smart, because it wouldn’t be as funny. Meanwhile, I think I need some more brain bleach. lol

Maybe Patty’s brain will malfunction just like mom and dad when she is their age. It is Crustwood good life that atrophies your brain.
