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?"

Quick thinking, Burl. No one would ever guess in a minute that it was a purse…full of snacks.

@SusanSunshine: Your comment on A&J yesterday was hysterical.

With the prices theaters charge, I don’t blame them.

Joy could just hide things under her coat….
stuff her pockets, push small baggies into her bra….
use Burl’s pockets too…
The big bag of popcorn would have to be slipped into her shirt, over her belly.
A few extra lumps and bumps on those bodies would be undetectable.
But just in case they follow my advice….
if YOU happen to go to the Odious Theater….
do NOT accept any snacks from Burl or Joy.

I’m with Simpsonfan on this.
And, whilst we’re talking about not eating anything offered by the Pennys—as if!—one should never even sit close to them. (1) gas, and (2) their eating sounds like a wood chipper.

BURL / JOY…. You two must plan ahead… Clamp off one sleve of your jacket and stuff your stuff in the sleve…. Carry your jacket in…. and enjoy the movie…. ! ! !

When my son was a year old, we took him with us to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind(couldn’t get a sitter), we packed cookies in his diaper bag to help if he got bored.
He was so enthralled by the lights and sounds, he stayed focused on the movie. I ended up eating the cookies.

We have the Penny’s dream movie theatre: Cinetopia, you can sit in recliners on the balcony and have the servers bring you food, my cousin had a hamburger and fries and my husband had a beer. We watched The Hobbit, and I fell asleep. Awful movie, don’t get me started!

We have a similar theater in Pasadena, CA. We only go for special occasions, though. Last time is cost us 60$ BEFORE the food! Very nice, but I don’t think the Penny’s would opt for that.

Wish we had a theatre here like that, but I must say, THE HOBBIT WAS AWESOME! Just like the original LOTR trilogies.

I’m too old to care for that gendre too and my lover saw the Hobbit (loved the special effects, as I would too) but did not care about the story either.

Those theaters are everywhere (major cities) I think. I still prefer to watch at home with my own snacks.
