The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 17, 2021

As soon as Jerry hears about those certificates he’ll be on Verla like a fly on s***. Of course he’ll expect Verl to pick up the tip as well.

rattle’s in my head after this one

There’s something not like the others on the embroidery of that heart, but doesn’t look anything like a baby rattle..

Something is terribly wrong. These baboons actually gave her $50 in gift certificates? Are they valid only for parties of eight, limit two certificates? Oh, now I get it. They will “take her out to dinner.”

They probably lost value over the years. Joy found them in a junk drawer under some Twinkies.

I give up. Anybody find the baby rattle?

I bet that ax behind Burl is in his back…

I think the rattle is in the back of the chairs.

Verl… just take Joy out to dinner with you and leave Burl home with that rattle he’s holding…!

I give up. Larson needs to make an effort to draw just a little better, and stop appearing to be lazy.
