The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 16, 2012

There’s the GBwOF again. Maybe they should get some paint for that…

They’ll keep trying to find some way to get that paint for free.

I’ll bet that the Pennys will ask for free brushes and a drop cloth before they leave, and act aggrieved when the sales clerk demurs.

OK, here’s a “Seinfeld” observation about the exciting sanding sponges.When deciding whether or not to refinish something, one should consider if it is spongeworthy.

I found the drip… I found the drip!It’s Burl!

Oh..Really, he doesn’t count?But he’s the biggest drip of all.

Do you think he or Joy would ever admit to anything being what they wanted, if they knew they could get it free by saying it wasn’t right?

“I’m sure I only ordered the one-egg two-pancake breakfast…. but since you brought it, I’ll eat this (much bigger) one if I can have it free.”

SimpsonFan — it may be an old joke, but I’m sure it happens all the time!

You would think by now they would know that cheaters never prosper. You got to give them credit for trying.They’ll do anything to get free stuff. Maybe the sales clerk can give them a free yardstick. Brain bleach in aisle 5, stat!

They’d want the fist one free as well in a buy one get one free promotion.

We had a special mix, when we got it home, it was not quite what we were going for. (it matched while wet). We took it back to the Home Depot, not for a refund, but for a fix. They added a little more of a color and matched it free of charge. When I say “free of charge” I mean for the fix, not the original mix, so don’t get any ideas, Pennys.

Good Morning Crustwood!

This whole strip involves drips and sponges, and the Pennys are both.

I see that Crust Paints uses the “Eyeball” automixer for paints.

Lots of room for error…just what Burl is looking for.

Careful JOY…. don’t get and paint on that blouse…. ! ! ! .Looks like BURL has already pocketed one of those sanding sponges…. ! ! !

@GymShoe

did any one notice that the two of them ended at the edge of the tablecloth? Maybe those half walks are producing a weight loss, of their lower halves!

Thanks for pointing that out yesterday…Totally missed it….. ! ! !

All good observations… I agree… ! ! !

Yes, we all pity poor little Timmy!
