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?"

How about option ‘C’, ‘Neither’.

Take all three of them and, together, you have half a wit.

No matter what anyone says, size matters.
Today’s strip has a problem; where’s the Continuity Girl?
Happy Birthday, Wolfie!

Yikes…. I’m with you Mikie….
Panel 2 is scrambled.
Oooh…. I can’t really understand the To-do list, but it says something about a party…
and it also says “Flush the toilet.”
I am SO glad they worry about their guests to the point of remembering to flush the toilet before they all arrive.
I feel ever so much better about attending now….
except NOT so much better that I’ll come within 100 yards of their house.

Blackwolff — is it your birthday?
If so, have a happy one!
Hope the Penny’s party isn’t for you…
cos I’m pretty sure that’s the last place you’d want to spend your birthday!

Ok…..
Sometimes I think Julie’s mind is busy thinking up clever dialogue….
so she fits it into an old illustration without really taking a good look at where the speech balloons point or who’s supposed to be talking….
So…. I hope she doesn’t mind…
but I did a little alteration on Panel 2….
maybe this is how she meant it….
or maybe not….

Thanks for re-ballooning the strip. It made no sense as originally drawn.

I didn’t just change the balloon pointers…
Joy is telling Dale about an argument with Burl…
But Burl is the one with the phone. That made even less sense than the pointers.
So I changed it to say Joy instead of Burl in that sentence.

Btw… the sisters have astrological mugs, Libra and Virgo. ..
Burl has LPG gas co on his.

Makes a lot more sense with the “re-ballooning.” Great job!
