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?"

What does Burl know and when did he know it? I really don’t want to know. (Courtesy of the firm of Nixon and Arnold, LLP.)
Crust Foods; in the running for best grocery store in the midwest. I wouldn’t put it past them to have “knock off” milk and meat. But that’s why the Pennys shop there; looks like the real thing but cheaper. Appearances are, after all, everything for them.

How ironic, after the panel from a few days ago… I think I’m gonna make me a Brain Bleach Cocktail.

So many questions…. so falling asleep…
so after my bedtime…. but….
“For spoiled meat: Call after hours…..”
To complain?
Or to buy some?
Burl says “I’ll pay for it.”
But he’s offering 50¢…
so does he mean he’ll cover the 50 cents off part….
Or that he will actually pry open his wallet and pay for the whole package??
Cos the planet might jolt to a stop…. be ready.
He must really be in a hurry to get Ma home and use her “facilities” .
And he’ll need paper.
(Yes… a nice shot of brain bleach sounds awfully good…)
And which is worse… a Find-It described but left out of the drawing…. or none at all?

Maybe the (undrawn/not spoken of) consequences were too much even for Major Moron.

LOL! My grand dad had some corn cobs in a frame in the toilet he finally installed in his basement (most houses only had one toilet in those days).

Indefinately, because folks like the Pennys do little else but eat and defecate all their lives. It would be unheard of for them to contribute in any useful way, don’t you think?

Yes, now it looks as though the reason they stayed in the seats was knowing they were out, and it meant a trip to the store.

It’s nice to know that Burl is passionate about something. Now we know what it is!

If you’re not seeking facts then O-Benghazi POTUS is the firm for you. And forget the courtesy.
