The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for September 13, 2012

Oh shake his suds, PLEASE!

With apologies to the memory of Ian Fleming, is there any chance that Miss Moneypenny is a cousin? And is Jerry out on his continual quest of looking for Pussy Galore?Perish the thought!

The speech balloon looks as if it’s Marlene who wants her suds ‘shaken, not stirred’. I guess this is another re-use graphic.

Do they save Joy’s blouses to upholster lawn furniture…. or did they make her a blouse from a worn-out chaise lounge cushion?Or did the world’s laziest woman buy a bolt of fabric and make both?

OR…. and this gets MY vote…. did WalMart have a 75% off clearance 5 years ago on all the “Summer Fun” merchandise,which featured beach towels, lawn furniture, tote bags, swimsuits and cover-ups…all in green with orange flowers?

I was going to make fun of Burl’s “Born to Run” T-shirt…since he’s just as lazy as his other half….(“better” is a toss-up.)

But then I realised it’s true.Burl WAS born to run….from responsibility, from work, from his duties as civil defense captain, should any real emergency arise…. in fact from the tiniest hint of ANY danger, real or imagined.

Burl is easily shaken….but never stirred.

Not only is it a re-used graphic with the speech balloon pointing to Marlene, as Purple Sky notes….but Julie was working so fast she messed up her website URL…and it’s the name of her own strip!Hope nobody tries to find it or e-mail her based on her scrawled Dineitses.com

Good morning Crustwoodians!

Let’s all say it together:“Awww… poor widdow Baby Burl gots a boo-boo!”

Yes, marg. Give those suds a long vigorous shake, please, Dale.

Burl, so suave and deb-bone -aire.

SS: Yeah, looks like he’s recouperating from his knee injury (add 6 more weeks to his disability?)

Who cuts the grass and does the maintenance around their nice home?

Better be careful how much you shake that can! I can see him open it and the foam erupt all over Burl. That would make him get up….

To me it is so very fitting for these guys to call beer, “Suds”. I have always hated that phrase. It seems crass and obnoxious.

It’s a pity he doesn’t LOOK like James Bond!

Yes, that was an easy one today.

Too pitiful!
