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?"

The Sears bag is a nice touch.
Did Yoda write the line about shoplifters on the tall sign?

Note to Marg or Susan: Looks like they need some children’s strength brain bleach over to Adam@Home.

It is a nice touch, isn’t it?

Julie is such an astute observer of the human condition. We all know someone who does exactly this same thing. Maybe not with the same brazeness but they’d do it.
Good morning all.

Deodorant stains and her not using it?? Maybe she got the sweater at the thrift store. It’s easy for them to forget where things are bought. Nice try anyway isn’t it?

I’ve seen “half-off clothing” signs in stores before, but (sigh) everyone is fully dressed.
Talbot’s better take back that sweater or they’ll risk loosing the Penny’s as customers!::::::::::Great Plan!

I’ll admit – I did that once – took back a dress that had a stain on it, had forgotten about it. Of course, they wouldn’t take it back. So I took it back home, washed the stain out and the next day a friend of mine took it back for me. It was funny having her explain to the clerk why she’d bought a dress that was too small for her and the clerk frantically looking for the stain she saw the day before. I did get my money back though. Not sure I’d have the nerve to do it again. And it was Sears!

I had to return a maternity 2-piece jumper set once. I looked at the tag for the size and it was the right size (the tag was on the blouse). When I got it home, I took off the tags and washed the set. After I washed it, I went to put it on and that’s when I discovered someone had switched the size L jumper with a size M. This was not going to work. I grabbed the outfit, receipt and went back to Sears. I explained what happened, showed them the clothes and the receipt and they let me exchange it. I do like Sears.
