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?"

Right, marg. Burl’s been stealing from work for so long he doesn’t even realize it any more. I’m surprised he doesn’t have an extension cord running down the street from the office.
What I really want to know is what Burl doing with an athletic cup. In his case would it be a demitasse? Or is this the outer edges of some sort of stange practice that he and Joy participate in?

Mikie Mikie…. you misunderstand….
THIS is what Joy means when she says “Burl’s athletic cup.”
I don’t think she knows what the other kind IS…
And they have a lot of strange practices….
but they’re centered around things like laundry, shopping, fast food, and television….
.
I bet they hardly remember the basics of what they had to do to get Patty….
and that they’ve never even heard about anything unusual.

You can tell that Burl is a BIG athletic supporter.

That’s fair warning: he thinks it’s just his nature to steal without realising it.
LOCK YOUR DOORS, good people of Crustwood.
And btw…. the ☾ is quite well hidden.

Kind of kinky how they list their dirty laundry in public.

Oh, thank God. My brain felt soiled for a moment there . . . Any spare brain bleach in that cupboard ?

I just got my Brain Bleach order, and I have to say it came just in time. As for Burl’s claim that it’s ‘human nature’, I think it’s only ‘Penny nature’.

Oh, and the finials are still MIA.

It’s your nature, Burl – not mine. I hope you get fired for it.

Burl attempted to redeem the finials at the “Cash for Gold” outlet and never put them back on after being told they weren’t gold.

Light bulbs? I wonder how they get to those long fluorescent jobs in the ceiling. Where’s the green brain bleach? Let’s get this party started! If you celebrate St. Patrick’s day Sunday, swill a green one for me. Have a good weekend and be safe.

Nice cup, Susan. You probably just found it in your hand, accidently, right? Kinda ‘stuck to your hand’ without being noticed.
Don’t worry, human nature, ya know.

I doubt Verl is at risk, as she does so little nobody realizes she works there. At least I hope she doesn’t do anything, because whatever it was it would be done wrong. Besides, it doesn’t save the company much to eliminate a minimum wage position.
