The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 27, 2011

A half mile for fresh peas.

I love Julie Larson

Good Morning All You Crustywoodians

:-)))

Yum, fresh cod balls! (wonder if the cod misses them?)

If all they serve is the Cods balls, what do they do with the rest of him?

Hi everybody.

Mornin’ Crustwood!

Mmm… unmentionable cod parts.

In answer to your question Morgue – when they’re gone, he wears a padded cod-piece, of course.

Joy is such a delight, isn’t she?

She just kinda defined the psychological concept of projection.

She rudely accuses everyone whose path she crosses of laziness, lying, cheating, or petty larceny — everything she would do in their jobs.

BTW I thought from the cola this was Sam’s Club, but I see it’s called Horder’s Supermarket.Perfect.

Sometime the carts at Crust Food just aren’t big enough for Burl and Joy’s outsize needs.

Sometimes they really just have to visit a store with a whole aisle of Stouffer’s lasagne………and wander all 600 aisles till they’ve gorged on enough samples that they don’t have to spend $1.50 on a hot dog.

OK, folks….. after midnight here. Yawn….

Wake me up if they start sampling the smoked salmon, or those little cream puffs with chocolate icing.

Oh — and if you said anything to me late yesterday, I tried to answer you late yesterday.

G’night for now.

Of course, the reason they’re out of steak samples is that the Pennys were by earlier before Nan came on duty and inhaled them. I’d check Joy’s purse, too, for THEIR supper.

I’ll bet they’re lined up out the door for those cod ball samples.

I used to shop at Sam’s club a bit when cooking for my 4 kids (and it does seem designed for hoarders and large families). I don’t remember free samples there, but I’ve heard of people making a meal of the various ones at Coscos around here. I prefer to shop at organic farmer’s market type stores for weekly groceries. When I start to run out of other stuff (paper goods and soda) I go to regular chains, tho’ increaingly I shop at Drugstore.com for cosmetics and toiletries (even detergent for laundry with the free delivery).

The store has the look of a Costco……… With the wall of refrigerated products…… And Nan the taster lady….. No doubt the Pennys have been circling…. the varoius tasting stations for a while…...More free soda for the Pennys when they check out and “forget” to report the cases hidden under their FULL cart ….! ! !.

Aisle what??? Must be a SUPER Super Wal-mart

Welcome, DaveI’ll be checking Sherpa for your submissions.

I live in IL and if I didn’t know better I’d swear Julie was spying on my little town.

Yes welcome, Dave. The only cartoons I ever drew (exept for myself) were back when my kids were all in school and I was editor of both PTA newsletters. I mostly drew elaborate headers for the various departments, a cover for the monthly issues and just an occaisional cartoon where the characters said something that I wanted to express.

These were legal size pages all typed and drawn on the special wax covered paper for the mimeo machine. If you were born in 70s or later, you don’t know that ackward thing with the big wheel. Any corrections were done with a bottle of liquid ink.

I also tend to ramble and avoid pasting into other documents to check my spelling, so expect typos.

My recreation group has at least one gent who regularly sports a “cod-piece”. He claims it was called family jewels because the jewels might be stored in there -somehow I doubt that.

“Horder’s is closing for the night…………… Please take you purchases to checkout………. OR …. put them back”……..Good Night Crustwoodians….. wherever you are………… ! !
