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?"

It’s a family tradition….
Ma kept Verl’s baby book up-to-date till she was 48….
See?
Who knows how long she kept Joy’s.
Maybe she still does:
First baby.
Second babysigh…. never mind….First girdle.
First hot flash….

When did Patty lighten her hair?
And get giant glasses?
The Find-It is subtle today….
but at least it’s there!
As for brain bleach… PurpleSky and Finale…
I shipped you each two gallons, even though it’s in advance of your regular delivery date.
Perhaps we need to increase your monthly orders.
BTW…. because it was mentioned here over the last few days…
Susan and Mrag’s S.S. Brain Bleach is mild and gentle…. and completely safe when used as directed.
Even overdoses cause no permanent damage.
It doesn’t whiten anything…
not teeth, not clothing, and not Patty’s hair (though I did send her a complimentary carton of the eggnog flavor to help her get through the holidays with Mom and Dad..
All it does is remove offensive or upsetting memories and images from the brain.
It also protects against new ones being absorbed for about six hours after use.
Some untrue rumors are being spread.

Baby book?? I guess praising and giving “Good job Pattie” are not in her vocabulary!! I gave my daughter her book a few years ago. I see it’s still here. Better put it away again..
Well at least Pattie turned out pretty smart. Wonder who heer father is..

@SusanSunshine
Thanks. Needed that yesterday due to Dale’s exercise workout. Don’t sell your product short, though. I have a suspicion that regularity is an offshoot, but I know you can’t claim that without FDA approval and the endorsement of the Phillips “Colon Lady”.

Does Joy’s shirt say “BOGS” or “BAGS”?

Right. I didn’t know that was Patty until her crazy mom said her name!

@loveslife
I guess putting it in the book is Joy’s way of praising her.

Maybe Ma could record Patty’s first hair coloring to cover the early gray she’s getting for putting up with her parents. lol

Maybe she should try using that “motivation” speech on her parents and relatives……Naaaa, what am I thinking??

Does she have a baby book for Burl, he is the biggest baby in that family more ways than one.

Probably kept both their books until they were out of nappies . . . as far as she knew. . .

Susan,
When was your first brain-bleach experiment? Did it ‘enlighten’ you? Make you ‘light-headed?’ Did you start dreaming of white Christmases… or white weddings? Become a ‘light’ sleeper?
Don’t want to p’ you off so you’ll harm me… but if I have, can you at least wait to shoot until you see the ‘whites’ of my eyes?
