Is that Burl’s sister? Smells like it. I was 50+ before I learned that wimmen farted. I only had (4) brothers and we were seriously deficient in our educations. Then one became a priest and another ran away to sea!
I’m going to guess that the song “Smooth Operator” was NOT written for Burl or Jerry (who is noticeable by his absence from this particular situation).
Then again, the addition of Jerry to this panel might have gotten the strip banned from a lot of papers today!
I agree, Susan-this is low even for their standards. I did not understand before reading comments. I DID notice that only condiments are sorry little containers of mustard and catsup and a big one of hot sauce- and the salt and pepper – no sliced tomatoes, pickles or even a leaf of lettuce for the burgers (which are probably premade by one of those big companies who are always doing recalls-like fast food places use). Don’t EVER eat anything here!!
I have to wonder what’s in those bowls, though that looks like bluberries -but they would never buy anything healthy like berries, so maybe it’s cocoa crispies.
Burl joins Joy at……….. the Ladies Innovators Club Picnic……. .They have excess funds………… because they do nothing……. but gossip……….. .Burl is thier hero……. because of his clever observations……… The lady is eating beans……. but has yet to try any corn,,,,,,,…,.The minutes will show……… that “Bertha” is running an experiment designed by Burl……… The results will be reported at the next meeting…….. in one year………..
Susan, I posted this on the 14th (am late reposting as my DSL was down):Susan, I can’t see any of the comments today in Chrome so I tried using the IE Tab and they all showed up. The comments show on other gocomics pages. Weird, what browser do you use?
When I go back to the 14th today it behaves the same way, there must be some glitch in the code that only IE sees. Firefox doesn’t show them either.
I am not a regular poster but I am a regular reader and enjoy all the comments.
JJFahl — Thank you for your input! And welcome to the forum!
I use Firefox, which always updates itself to the latest, so it’s not a problem with the browser being outdated.
I took your suggestion and tested the site with IE9, where, on my computer, it behaves just as it does on Firefox.
Comments appear in my other comics and on other days of The Dinette Set, but when I open the forum for Sept. 14th, it says “20 Comments”, and shows none of them.
BTW to all — I use Firefox because whether you use Ctrl + or click “zoom”, by default it enlarges only the text, and doesn’t throw any other pages out of whack.
And “text” includes the comment box, so I can see what I’m typing, and also have spell-check, for what it’s worth.
If you WANT a giant page, pictures and all, you can clear the “zoom text-only” checkbox in the View menu.
IE doesn’t enlarge the text in the comment box, no matter what level of zoom or text size you select from the view menu.
I find it very hard to type in that tiny font. Haven’t actually tested that function in Chrome, I must admit.

I’m totally lost… What only works with corn???
leakysqueaky712 about 13 years ago
Marge………..why are you here?? I am so confused.
Corn clearly shows up in your stool. yuck!!

Morning all.
This is icky even by Penny standards, and Penny standards are almost non-existent.
Leaky, I’m not even in the loop but Marg was missing yesterday — maybe you missed that cos so were you.
Oooh that last sentence makes me feel loopy.
Combined with whatever emanates from Burl, the whole thing quite gives me the vapors.
Please pass the smelling salts.
Or at least, pass me one of those hamburgers they collected those fake dues to buy.
Somehow I bet Joy was the treasurer, and the only allowed expenses all year were for the “Surplus Funds” picnic.
And guess who takes home the surplus from THAT?
Ketchup doesn’t grow on trees you know.

Oops Marg you posted that while I was typing. :)

There won’t be any surplus when they’re finished with that picnic. There may even be a deficit.

I just hope to God that Burl’s not thinking of recycling. That is way to graphic :-((((
