The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 05, 2011

What are we supposed to find?

Billdi, my little love muffin, me yon chamo flatulan pase nwit lan nan tant ou yo.

Yeah, Burl, throw out the fire extinguisher that you never use, but trust your life to a repaired butane bottle. Makes sense to me. While you’re at it, get rid of that expensive life insurance policy, you’ve never used it, and besides, the county will bury you for free.

One hopes one never has to use it, Burl, but they’re still as good to have as smoke detectors.

Marg — I think it’s the little blue shoe to the eft of the blue sign, cos I think I found it.And Haitian?

And I’m very sorry I had to miss yesterdays discussion…. A belated thank you to the Legendary Colonel for my edification in the matter of antimacassars, and to Mikie for further clarification and obfuscation. I’m not up on particulates, I have a hard enough time keeping up with articulates.So, then, is true antimaccassar some form of zeolite dust?Cos I thought zeolite was the Depends of the mineral world, at least according to the hyperbole surrounding some overpriced mineral elixirs I’ve seen touted.

You can never repair a propane bottle, and the fire extinguisher could never do any good down in a crawl space under your car. The things they SHOULD be using like a scale, the free weights and tennis rackets go OUT, while they keep an old teddy bear and pinwheel. I don’t think it will be possible to repair any of the things they plan to…

Let’s get back to the basics…….. I assume we are looking for a cup with 911 on it……….I can’t find it anywhere in the comic…………. Julie is pushing Dinette Set Gear……..I look on her site “The DinetteSet.com” …… and I cannot find any gear either…….. Just books………. I thought I might find the 911 cup there…………Now I think Julie needs a couple proof readers…. I am nominating Susan Sunshine and Vldazzle……. Do I hear a second………. ?.

Anyway……… It could be that what looks like the hendle of the butane carrier………… is actually the handle of the 911 cup………… Just saying……….

Oh, you’re good. I like you!

Julie doesn’t color the dailies, they’re handed off to a colorist who works for UClick. I believe the colorist made the whole area of the sign and cup blue, including what I see as a little shoe, which is actually the Find-It, and should have been left uncolored. And Marg and I both found that little shoe-ish shape on the closet wall next to the paint can. It has purposely or coincidentally colored blue as well — but I do believe that’s what we’re looking for. Meanwhile, I think the cup isn’t the Find-It but is there to promote Dinette Set gear.As Julie never says where the merchandise is located, it’s become a real-life Find-It. But if you click the F to the right of the strip, you’ll go to Julie’s Facebook page, where there are links to it on Zazzle.com. Meanwhile, a fellow called Billdi posted yesterday mocking those of us who discuss the Find-It.

I don’t speak Haitian; I speak Google — but I THINK Marg was hoping no one would understand her return wishes that a camel would flatulate in his tent. LOL Yes, Marg? ;cD Hope it’s OK I translated — if I actually did!

OK & Thanks…… Now I see the shoe…….. and releaize it is not a part of the “Gear” sign……… :) …………….! ! !

My Dearest Chuckie -You don’t mind my thus addressing you, do you? There’s a dear.I fear that you have no idea of the burdens I have thus far borne.Indeed, I am more than delighted to pass to you one of the heaviest - that of wearing the crown of faultlessness and perpetual accuracy.It was beginning to tire my shoulders, to say nothing of weighing down my auburn curls.First, though, if I may, for one last moment — I do believe you mean to “bear” up.If you do intend, rather, to “bare” up anywhere within visual range, please do give us plenty of warning, so that I may avert my delicate eyes. On another note, while I appreciate your superior knowledge of the field of pinnate particulates, I had to assume that your answer was intended for me, as I know no one named Suzie. Thank you again. Susan

You have to “Like” them on FB to get the link to the “gear”

Debi — No, while the link SAYS it’s for “liking” the strip, you can’t do that without signing in.If you actually click it, you’ll just go straight to the page with the gear link.I was able to see everything, even though I’m not on Facebook, so I can neither ’like" any pages nor navigate to others.And Marg — dunno whether to say sorry, or thanks! :)

marg — just love it when you whisper in french to me…
