The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 19, 2015

How am I supposed to get to sleep with that visual in my head?

I know Burl’s been on a roll lately with his barbs, but… I mean, jeeze!… there are so many ways he could mean that… I mean there are so many ways to take that… when in the realm of Jerry’s gender, I guess it depends on the depth of Burl’s knowledge of Jerry. Is there history there? Has Verla been talking too freely? .I guess I’ve never before so much wanted there to be a second panel to show what happened five seconds later. .And Dale is laughing or at least highly amused. Does he know something? Or is it just a sophomoric “he said butt” sort of thing. .And would Jerry be wearing this costume in public or just to an intimate affair at the Penny’s? Either thought induces such flabbergacity that sleep will not come easily...(Jerry’s wardrobe by Charles Shultz.) .((I cannot WAIT to see what Crabbear has to say.))

Jer’s already dressed for Halloween.

Crabbear says—aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!

Who really dreams up this crap? Comic? Hardly; comics are meant to be funny. Get a new job Julie!

That irony is SO true, when u see all those guys with suits & dark sun glasses u know from afar, there hiding a VIP.

Dear Crabbear: The first step is to admit you have a problem, so say, “Hello. My name is Crabbear, and I’m a Dinette Set addict.” .We have no idea how many steps there are. No one has ever tried.

You know, if occurs to me that there are other men with secrets who Jerry can spot a mile away.

OK, I admit I had to google it.. Now I am sorry I did.

I don’t care what Jerry dresses up as… even dressed up as a Pink Flamingo, he will be Jerry… ! ! !

The think I’m having trouble with is the notion of Jerry dressing up as a hermaphrodite. How would anyone know? If he put on a dress, everyone would mistake him for his mother.

I’m with Last Rose. After careful consideration, I conclude that whatever Burl’s notion of what “hermaphrodite” means, it’s considerably different from what the dictionary says it means. I believe he means “transvestite.” It makes a great deal more sense, because from a mile away, that’s not going to fool anyone any more than the Secret Service agents are, and because there’s no hermaphrodite “costume.” Plus, I think most of us already pretty well assumed crossdressing was one of Jerry’s more benign kinks.

Pacopuddy—you are absolutely correct! I keep coming back hoping someday to see something even remotely amusing. I was pleased to find someone in agreement with me. I tell my wife that I just can’t turn it off because that would be the day a “comic” actually showed up!! And besides, some of these people would miss me if I were to go away. But cheer up folks; I just turned 76 so I might disappear any day now.

I would think he was a hermaphrodite but for the mustache.A hermaphrodite is a man that dresses up as a woman, right? Or is it a person that has got the best of both worlds? I just may look it up, though I might regret doing so.

No. Let him go ahead. In fact, Jeffy, make sure you click on the Images search tab. If you’re going to read this strip, you’re going to have to become hardened to that which cannot be unseen.

Unable to reply right now, @Finale, Thank you for your concern, if I am ever unfamiliar with something I look it up on Dictionary.com, I have found it is a lot safer than googling it.
