The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for September 23, 2011

HEY KIDS

WHAT TIME IS IT??

That door seems like a good place for a “stick up”

Hmmm…………..Are we looking for an “X” or an ax?? I cant find the x.

sittin’ pretty Ma…

It’s HOWDY DOODY TIME, Uncle Leaky!

For Christmas, Joy buys Mr. Hankey tissue.

Marg……………..Joy does bear a resemblance to Claribell

Im new to this one…Why are these folks always wearing T-shirts with a message on them?

Mornin’, Peanut Gallery!

Can I be Princess Summerfall Winterspring?Pleeeeease?

Sigh…. I always get stuck with being Flub-A-Dub.

If Joy looks like Clarabelle it’s a good thing, cos that thing they’ve got on the wall sure doesn’t.

In fact, only a guy who looks for “Silence of the Lambs” on the Comedy Network would think that’s a picture of a clown.

And I also see axe not x.

@Hillbillyman — it’s just another way for Julie to use words, instead of relying solely on the art to flesh out the characters.

A fine old tradition that goes back at least as far as the Yellow Kid.

That reminds me, GymShoe I posted to you, late yesterday, agreeing with you.

Actually I posted to several people, probably after the last time they checked… Sorry.

OK, I gotta get to bed!

G’night, all, after I just said Good morning.

BTW Hope Mikie’s doing OK.

Oodball——nice goin = You dood it !

Thanks Oddball.. keep wondering why they shank the comic..Just glad you can enlarge it..now…

Just what the clown needs – a clever. But the sharp end is going the wrong way.

Morning, All

That clowns name must be “IT”

Heretofore, Till the end of the week, I shall be known as Phineas T Bluster

eew!

The position of the hand indicates that “Ma” is still sitting. I guess she couldn’t wait to share her excitement I almost wrote “excrement” but that would’ve been in bad taste.) CLOSE THE DOOR, MA!!.

Once again, Burl gets in one of his great wisecracks. (Once again, no pun intended.)

Try looking at the clown…………. upside down………… :-)

I would imagine that with the “usual suspects” frequenting the Penny’s bathroom the exhaust fan must be powerful enough to pull the rug off of Jerry.

@Ray CHahaha, Ray. You said what we all were thinking…well put.

Well, ghosts ARE cuter that werewolves, but not much.

Maybe they’ll come out with SpongeBob toilet paper. My little grandson would like that!

OddBall, you did it!

When you know where it is, it’s so obvious — but I sure couldn’t see it, for some reason.

Gymshoe, my thoughts yesterday were even a bit more nefarious than yours!

And sorry but I can’t see anything in the upside-down clown. What do you see?

I do find it disturbing that he has a Santa beard.

Burl! That’s snot nice!

But at least the tissue can dance, now that she put a boogie in it!

To all that said thanks, You’re Welcome.I hope I didn’t spoil the search for anyone.

As usual, they are too much! @Hillbillyman, My main delight in this strip is t-shirts, cups, videos, lists etc that add to the current joke. Natually we know ma should wait until leaving that room for her comment (and until flushing and washing to open the door) but these are the Pennys who we know to be obnoxious clods even if we have had friends like that,

I also did not find the x until the hint and did not think the clown had an ax- looked like a price tag- and is it wearing a fake beard? Even uglier than usual. And love Burl’s “Tasteless” cup because he is.
