The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 20, 2011

I believe we’re looking for the word ‘fish’ tonight.

Susan, see my answer to you on yesterday’s cartoon.

No, there’s an actual fish.

Let’s face it – all their categories pretty much boil down to the percentage of polyester…

Partial cotton blend means casual.

100% polyester is worn short for “dress casual”, long and/or shiny for formal, and rhinestone studded for New Year’s Eve.

Guys the same. without the shine or rhinestones.

Suggestion………………...Marleen – you go with casual slacks…….. and stay away from the new wading pond……..Dale – you go with a elegant swim suit……. so you can do as Burl suggested…… run full speed and “slip and slide” into the bosses new wading pond…………...Problem solved……………

And of course, thanks Marg!

I see that your new avatar is a photo of the real Marguerite (cough cough)…. just for those of us following your career with great excitement……

In Re: the Find-It, there IS the word “fish” visible but I tend to think it’s the…um…fishy fish, which is also hangin’ around.

As for yesterday — might even be one I know too, but since you and I used to be on different sites together (as my Dad would have said) perhaps not.

Dale could significantly advance his career by taking his Pocket Fisherman along. I’m sure his boss wouldn’t mind him stressing out his Koi. I miss Ron Popiel.

They’ve never been known to go off the deep end.& mikie2, I last saw him selling knife sets, but wait there’s more – on tv.

Whoa – when I posted my earlier comments, there were none here except the first one from Marg.

Now there are posts from acousticarl and Marg before my first comment and one from GymShoe in between.

So…. I’m sorry to duplicate what anybody said ….but your posts were invisible to me.

Weird. And not the first time it’s happened.

Ahh, Marg!! You look great in red.

Who took the keys to the country club? Do they even have a country club?

Cool pic, marg.

Sometimes, Susan, you don’t see the most resent comments until you update, or submit. And I love a girl who submits!

I think that is the point of the joke, Grog, the key rack for the country club would be bare. Much like a book entitled, “My Good Points” by Obama may be all blank pages. Actually, this comic took a while for it to grow on me, the more I saw it, the more I began to like it. One of the things that did win me over is Ms. Larson always can be counted on to have at least one hidden joke (usually several) that you have to kind of (pardon the pun) fish for. I found the it is never a good idea to ignore her background signs, posters, notes, t-shirts, or whatever else may be luking.

Yes, the hidden jokes are usually great additions, although I’m sure the boss does not want anyone (much less them) wading in his Koi pond. They really need that “fashion 911” and Dale is putting on such airs – to want burgers from Balmoral (not White castle- where he bought them) etc.

Interesting conversations yesterday. Sorry I missed it. Yes Marg, we know “those who talk to themselves”, LOL!

Marg – yeah.

There are/were a few that were on both sites…. but some are so “busy”, I don’t see how they maintain even one flock.

Doesn’t matter, of course. The game is the same.

DaveH — Thank you.

Yeah, I know to refresh, etc.

But those other comments were still invisible to me on re-opening the page maybe half an hour later.

Came back before bed, about 2am, and then, bingo — full house. (Mixed game metaphor?)

A mystery.

And please…..no political baiting here. We’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry so many comments today — addressing different things.
