The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for November 18, 2012

Um, maybe I’m overtired or something, but neither of these is getting through to me…??

Turkeys are allegedly so stupid that they can drown in the rain by staring up at the drops falling from the sky until their mouths/lungs fill with water.

And of course… the sidewalk sale is on recliners…A must-see….reclining being the Pennys favorite form of exercise.

I agree with Lunatic and Susan, the analogy must be the stupidity of turkeys in the rain and the Pennys with falling debris. I personally think that it is an insult to turkeys, but that’s just me.Re: the lounger on sale, you can bet your sweet bippie that they will search out a damaged one—or could they damage it themselves?—and ask for a further discount.

Turkeys are smart. They seek shelter when it rains… The Pennies are ,,, well.. They go to falling debris and look up. It seems others in Crustwood do to. Are they related?

But in Crustwood, the trukey tale is true. And “Little Moron” jokes are astute observations of the average man. And swampland real estate sales draw crowds. And the reason the gang is there is NOT the ad on the back of the paper, but because the Penny’s are actually shopping for a new sidewalk. They hope to have better luck than the time the wanted a new garage.

@X-tech – I’m curious – Where did that newspaper page come from? I’m still new to some of this stuff. Thanks.

I’m glad I came to the comments section. The analogy between the 2 frames makes perfect sense now.

I got the analogy right away too and it seems there is something in Crustwood’s water as otherwise the Pennys would have no friends. Although poultry is not bred for intelligence either, I agree that comparing them to Pennys is an affront. I’ll be cooking a good organic fresh turkey breast this week because I’m almost out of it. I need to make more breakfast bars and pizzas too. I like to prepare most food in advance when I’m here at home.

I does not appear that they went to the lounger sale as they are in front of a 5 and dime. With the state of the economy that IS the dollar store for the current generation (based on purchasing power since I was a kid).

I am not God, but as a witness I can tell you turkeys DO fly.If anyone tells you differently then ask them how the turkeys get high in a tree to roost.

Still time to rush into Kresgies…. for MA’s Christmas present…either the “Visit Crustwood” key chain or the hand held “Snoopy” pencil sharpener…. ! !

Look at all those “javelin catchers” in the second panel.

So which are more stupid the Penny’s or Turkey

Wow!I didn’t know any reporters were present when the Ballard St delegation showed up….

We made the papers!

Never fear, those drowned turkeys have been put to good use…..Plenty of soup for Thanksgiving in Crustwood….

HAPPY THANKSGIVIVG ALLJust wanted to drop by and wish all of you a happy holiday!!

I’m sure Burl and Joy will be sitting on the couch, each with a turkey leg, watching a marathon of “Here comes Honey Boo Boo”Happy Thanksgiving

@ CapnDunnzzlBest line Mr Carlson ever got to say on WKRP!!

I love the comments more than the strip sometimes. Kinda like being at a party where everyone is talking at once. And now that Tech has joined us, it is entrertaining to the max!

Comments here are always fun. My lover is not into cartoons as I am- when we went to Ted movie I had to explain about Family Guy. I have always been into every kind of art and have imitated everything from Picasso, Renoir, Monet, Neiman and Chagal to Warhol and all the cartoonists here and elsewhere. Working as an engineer/designer just paid the bills. We both enjoy everything together however and the same politics, food and most entertainment. I only have to wait another month before being together for another month ;-D

So good to hear from everyone today- especially Susan and even Leaky!

I’ve missed your snarkiness, Leaky!

That episode was sooooo funny!!!
