The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for July 31, 2014

Yep, Ma keeps the eggs in the freezer, yum, watery scrambled eggs for dinner.In this family I would call it Pooters.

It is an essential part of Waffle House’ business plan that they not be located within two states of the Pennys.And while Ma has her “Hon” down pat, Burl has no earthly idea about Hooters, either upper or lower case. (Ma still has to master chewing gum.)

Aw…. Joy’s widdle hand-print at 50.She was going to get Ma those nice chocolates that Mother’s Day, really she was…but they’d gone up to $16, and a little bag of spackle was on sale for $1.97.

Ma said “Oh great.”So Verla thought she really liked Joy’s present…and the next year she made one.And Ma said “Even better.”

Joy is still trying to figure out whether she should be jealous.Ma is still trying to figure out where she went wrong.

Burl is quick witted and consistently so.

I see even Ma has to remind herself to get up. I guess that alarm she has on her clock sounds like a siren,so she wonders who it’s for today and why they seem to come at the same time every AM..Does she spritz with Lysol to kill germs AFTER they leave also? I sure would..We have a Waffle House here now.

I only settle for such crap so I can see who feels guilty for liking it.

Finally. One of the Pennys says something the whole town can get behind. All of Crustwood wishes she lived in the South, too.

Short term memory problems?Ask your doctor if ███████ is right for you.

Oh, Crab. This is so unbecoming. You remember what your mom told you? If you can’t say something nice, etc? C’mon, give it a rest.

And you only watch PBS and still read Playboy for the articles.

And yet you still can’t overcome the urge to not only read this strip but to add an inane comment.

I find there is a little bit of the Pennys in everyone and just like the Pennys, they fail to see it.

I doubt that Ma does anything in circles and I see someone hung her car keys high (so she can’t reach them) but I don’t think she has a car anymore anyway.

Lysol for the living room? I hate to think what ANY of their homes might smell like.

No, NO!! You LIKE us: you care……you Care……you CARE!! I can feel the vibe comin’ from your ’lil ’ol Tender Heart!!

Why do folks bother with trolls?

“I only look at this garbage so I can remember there are idiots in this country who will settle for such crap.”

You have a shoddy memory. It sucks. You have to look at garbage, Dinette Set garbage in this case, to remember an uncomplicated observation of your own.

What does it take for you to remember to tie your shoes? Your skull fruit musta been picked green.
