About The Dinette Set
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?"

I wouldn’t be seen in public with Verla either. One look and everyone knows everything they need to know about their relationship; who gets what and why. I’m glad they have each other. It’s the pinnacle of each’s expectations.
Pitiful.

Where did they buy those lamps?
The Yosemite National Park Gift Shop?
Oh, right…. I mean, where did someone buy those lamps originally, before donating them to the the Goodwill Store,
where the people down the block from the Penny’s bought them,
before selling them to Joy for 50 cents at their garage sale.

Jerry doesn’t have enough money to ruin a bare-acquaintance-ship,
much less a “relation- ship."

And Mikey… sadder still is that Verl is only secretly the pinnacle of Jerry’s expectations….
Posing and preening for the guys, but so self-unaware that he thinks he’s this close to dating a supermodel…
if he would just go out and pursue one….
he strings Verl along because at least she’ll have him….
and maybe…. just maybe…
she’s all he can be sure of.
Verl, meanwhile, is grateful that such a nice-looking man pays her any attention….
a man who could date supermodels…
so she puts up with him being a cheap jerk,
and not very secretly slipping every waitress his phone number.

Guys like Jerry: My lover had one around back when he once tried expanding his business. He got a storefront which I helped him funish with some furniture that a former employer of mine was disposing of, bought 3 trucks instead of his regular one, and hired some other guys to run service AND a “Jerry” to handle paperwork and do phone sales. He was a little younger than we were, horribly out of shape and …well, basicly useless; but naturally he thought he was God’s gift ;-P and often asking us for advice on how to find Ms Right.
Only problem was – the woman he was looking for would not even give him a passing glance. Poor Verl!
