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?"

And I’ll just bet they bring out brand new Solo cups, too, and not the re-used ones they talked about in the panel where Joy told Timmy how she washed and re-used them until they fell apart — her contribution towards being ‘green’,y’see. Of course everyone else around the Pennys turn green from food poisoning, but that’s another matter altogether…

What? No corporate torpedo standing by? They must have such little regard for Dale and such a great understanding of his potential (for anything) that they’ll probably send the HS office boy to ask for his keys.

Dale’s about to find out exactly what he’s worth….
or at least, what he’ll fetch on the open market.
My guess is……
no, it’s too sad to say in front of him.
I like how his 20 year “gold watch” is plastic….
of course, technically he’s not retiring….
Technically he’s… um…
actually, technically he’s a moron.

The head-up-the-wahoo way that they all see this as an affirmation….
without a clue that it means dismissal or even criticism….
Kind of sums up the way these four look at life.
Entitlement and greed rule over common sense, every time.

I hate to be the forum anatomy police but..

Um…. but….. LOL …
can someone with toenails on his fingers BE the anatomy police?
Isn’t that some kinda conflict of interest?

A Casio watch? Is that something like a Rolex?

Wouldn’t it be a hoot to do that to a pain in the behind at work? Of course, someone like Dale just misses the message making it even funnier to his co-workers.

Who is gonna present Susan with the Timex we bought her?
And sorry Susan, we didn’t have the money for boxes, so we used kitchen bags, instead.
Wish they could have been the tall white kind… following Burl & Joy’s lead, we’re using Dollar Dump bags. Just make sure you grab em from the bottom.

Does Burl look a little sceptical of the others’ comments?

Clueless, the lot of ’em. The finials are still missing, I know they went out for resharpening, but how long could it take?
