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?"

Yeah, yeah, and when you got the box home that said ‘Brains’, it was empty, too.

Yes, I’d to return this dish for a refund.
No, I don’t have the box or receipt.
Because it’s dirty.

Sure – I believe that you could carry an empty 56" plasma screen TV box home one-handed and be unaware that there was no TV in the box .
Big, strong guy like you . . .

I’m a little confused….
Burl is being told they need the box, to show that the plate isn’t in it.
So… if they didn’t bring the box, which they’re saying was empty….
so they didn’t bring the plate…
what exactly DID they bring?
Hello, Best Buy?
I bought a computer last week, and when I got it home, the box was empty….
so I…um…. threw it away… that’s it…. I threw it away…. cos it was empty, you see….
And I seem to have…misplaced my receipt….
so maybe you could ….
What brand?
Oh a very nice computer…
Sunday, I think…
or maybe it was Monday….

Pigs. Liars. Cheaters. All with a straight face. (Now don’t go all Boy Scout on me!)
Unfortunately, this is a documentary in addition to a ‘toon. My daughter owns a nursery and people frequently try to return a plant that died in some other nursery’s container wanting a refund. With a straight face and some indignation after she (so very) sweetly tells them that they must take it back to Lowe’s or Home Depot or wherever. And then sets the dogs on them.

Boy, can’t cut ’em much slack on this one!

I think it is more likely they bought a TV with no box, floor model. I am sure as soon as the Penny name pops up on the computer it is red flagged to stonewll any refund.

Burl would return Ma if he could. (He’s working on it)

…these are the calibre of people that’ll stick double-sided tape on their fingers and put them into the Sunday church collection basket.

Y’know, I think that very observation was made a week or so ago! Yep, you’re spot on about the Pennys!
