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?"

Hmmm, I suppose Jer thinks it’s some sort of wonderful muscle car. Even his ‘substitutes’ are crappy, much like his rug. We won’t speculate on what the car is a substitute for. Susan! Marg! Help! Get me some Brain Bleach! Quick!

I am very very glad Jerry put an air freshener in his car.
It’s probably one of those fake “new car” scents….
or maybe something as macho as Jerry himself…. like, say, spring lilacs.
Whatever… it’s gotta smell better than…. well, you know….
Um…. strange vehicle, though…. the front fender looks more like the tail end of a car…
and what is going on with that rear window?
I hate to invoke tired stereotypes..
but Julie, just like me… you draw cars like a girl!
Purple Sky…. rushing you two gallons…
Meanwhile, take a tablet, with a full glass of water…..
And sloowly repeat…
“He has an air freshener. That’s all we need to know”
“He has an air freshener. That’s all we need to know”
“He has an air freshener.
That’s all we need to know”

Has an air freshener, and there appears to be no glass in the back window. Gives any passengers a 60% chance of survival.
It’s called a ‘Galante", I notice – wouldn’t "Geriatricar’ be more appropriate?

Ah, the V-4 Galavante, so’s you can galavant all around. Must have been made by MG because it’s leaking oil like a sieve. And the air freshener, it’s for show not for go.

looks like his new" car has an oil leak also. Should have drawn him in one of those goofy “grocery getters”, you know the little tiny two seater grown up Fisher Price kiddie cars.

“Galavante”! Great name, Jules.

This must be a really old car. It has no seat belts (not that Jer would wear one), and no head rests. I hope Verl hates the car. lol

Every used Galavante comes with 300 lbs. of oil-dry.

Leaking oil and it looks like the rear window of the convertable top has come apart . Looks like a lates 70 bad idea.
