The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for May 17, 2012

oh tacky tacky and I am first

the shirt and pants are too tight

Ah, saved by good ol’ Baku, whew!

No, the socks don’t match your shirt, either.

Dave I hope your wife is doing well today.

was Patty adopted.

@ simpsonfan2 — I think he should be wearing a bag over his head.

There are days when you don’t want to click the magnifier just to ‘find it’…And this one of them.

Oh Marg… gonna be a good day for sales.I can feel it in my bones….Burl in a tank top.My, my, my.

purplesky… that would leave the worst part showing.Get those people some Muu Muus!Caftans!Trench coats!What ever.Just cover them, NOW.

The socks don’t match anything he’s wearing.

He looks like the tourists here in Florida.

BURL….. still unable to go to work…. ? ? ?

If Burl’s gonna grill, I’ll have a soda, please. No, that’s all. Those little flare-ups you see over the hamburgers, those are armpit hairs, and that grilling smell, them too. (Bleach please.) I’ll bet he wears a belt with his suspenders, too. And trou hiked up to his moobs.

The shirt would look better with a bra.

And Yale’s lawyers will be calling soon.

No, they don’t look good with the shirt or the shoes. I’m afraid Patty may not be least clueless here anymore. She’s been under their influence way too long. lol

The only time I ever put socks on with sandals and shorts was to tease my daughter when she was 14. I never went outside with them, but it was fun having her half beg/half yell for me to take them off before we went to the store.

I do wear shorts with white socks and sneakers sometimes when I go for a walk or work out

The only thing that would look good on Burl, is six feet of dirt.

What makes me grind my teeth is white socks with black shoes.

Am I the only one who thinks it strange that the propane tank is lying on its side?

Susan , Marge, The check is in the mail along with an order for two more gallons of brain bleach. I expect a long summer. I second the idea of muumuus for the ladies?

I saw a man yesterday whose physique, in shorts, immediately reminded me of Burl. His paunch and chins were better defined though, and he was wearing white socks with white Nikes. Sadly he had a “disabled” hang tag on his rear view mirror. I guess the question is: disabled because of weight? or is the obesity due to the disability?I was raised on a farm…with livestock. I never walk anywhere outside without shoes on.

this is my all time favorite comic…

Patty has always been in the strip – she and Timmy provide a good contrast to the nuttiness of the others.

For those who asked, Patty is the daughter of Burl and Joy.

Timmy is Marlene and Dale’s grandson. I believe we should hold a benefit for these two unfortunates.

Dazz, I have been following the fires in AZ. Are you and yours OK? Inquiring minds etc.

Their clothing is always too unfortunate. A benefit fot Patty and Timmy is a good idea. I am going in the morning around 8 for bloodwork (cannot stand to fast any longer that necessary AND DRIVE)- so I do it at a grocery clinic that does not take my BCBS- worth it to get my results direct by email and I take along my breakfast bar and buy a small yogurt and banana so I can dine before driving back.

Nasty? No way! I eat mostly very yummy foods. I will eat nothing more tonight as I need a 12 hour fast for annual lab tests.

Yes, thanks Mike. All those forest fires are off in mountionous areas of AZ (no where near the city). If I were wealthy I would have a cottage for hot weather somewhere around there. I have gone up to snobol on hot summer days to ride the ski-lifts with visiting family and have had some picnics with friends up in forest areas too.
