The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 14, 2011

But you wear dunce caps in purpituity….

Someone is for sure wearing a dunce cap! And torpedoing Burl’s valiant effort to be really cheap; not just inexpensive, but CHEAP! He could paint the floor and throw sawdust on it while it is still wet and save a bunch of money.

The Find-It is a heart. Awwww…..He loves her in spite of her coarse stupidity cos she loves him in spite of his selfish crassness.Ain’t that sweet?And just to show that all is well, the Sunday magnifier is working! That IS sweet. It may “break” and return again before we’re through with the site updates, the same way color comes and goes — but right now it even works retroactively on all those past strips we couldn’t make out! Yay!

Somehow her statement didn’t come as a big surprise, stupid as it was.

A black heart at that. Found it.

YES! The Magnifier! Because most of us are older middle aged overweight geezers that this wonderful cartoon makes fun of!!!!!

Compare first panel to second panel:X on computercarppet becomes carpethig becomes hisRob becomes Bob ?The heart dissapears ( expected )

Pennys need to get off their a**e* and shop the carpet stores………. but that would take time and gas…………….

the f thingy disappeared too.

wow — $5k to carpet the closets!

@billdi, not that 5k is for the whole house. Burl was trying to save money by carpeting the closets himself. And speaking of Burl, FOR ONCE, he’s acting halfway intelligent. Actually dickering with the salesman effectively. Until of course Joy offers her 2 cents.

Susan, I didn’t use the magnifier, and didn’t even notice the ‘find it’.

Where’s the Empire Carpet Man when you need him?

Love this strip Glad Verla is nice VerlaRae
