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?"

Looks like Burl aleady has his tie tucked into his shirt in readiness for some serious eating. He’ll be surprised to find out this isn’t his usual “all you can eat” greasy spoon. And poor Jeff just saw his tip fly, fly away.
I can’t believe that they are in a real restaurant anyway. How’d that happen?

That very night Jeff leaves the service industry to become a cartoonist. Coming soon to Sherpa The Living Room Settee.

The guy behind Burl is saying “ah Jeff? Could we change our reservations to tomorrow?”

Burl’s tie is not tucked in. It’s the same one he got for his grandfather’s funeral when he was in 7th grade.

Of course it is. How could I have missed that? After all, it was a special one from the Montgomery Ward catalog.

Thanks GS. I thought they were the Chez Paulie.

Maybe if Joy didn’t gulp everything down she wouldn’t belch so much. They probably think wine from the cellar is the cheap stuff, like at their house, if it is good vintage it would be a $15 bottle on display upstairs.
