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?"

Is this another case of the dreaded wrong-way balloon syndrome?
Was that zinger actually supposed to emanate from Burl?

First Baby Book? Is there a second baby book? Is this when we start wearing diapers again and have no teeth or hair? I already have a book for that; it’s called a Medical Record! And talk about infantilizing, a baby book unril you are 48 years old. Sad.
I see that Joy is going to try a new brand of sugar. Maybe she’ll find one that’s sweeter, or more likely cheaper. Looks like she’s saving money again by cutting back on flowers for Caroline. \But she could just go by the cemetery and pick up the freshest of what’s left, that’s what Jerry does.

Verl’s mug appears to say “RCEE Rocks.”
Huh?
Why the sour grapes, Burl? Surely you don’t envy Jerry cos you married the older sister?
I mean, they’re equally…
um… well… equally…
hmmm… you know, I could honestly say they’re equally attractive…
I mean, zero does equal zero doesn’t it?

my mom had one baby book and kept the stats for all 4 of us in that one book. I have the book now and it is interesting to read. I had a baby book for my oldest and recorded stats for all 3 of my children, why do we do that??? Is not the second and third child as important as the first? Guess not because there are not as many photos of the second and third either. lol

Maybe she should just leave the balloon tails off and we can guess who’s saying what. I did not get the RCEE or the “c” either (childbirth?). I started a book for my eldest and realized that I couldn’t keep up for the others. I spent what time I could WITH them instead. I never would have chosen to have them so close together, but it was my duty as a wife . . .

No, you’re just too busy with three kids to do all that writing. ;-)
