The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 11, 2010

That is so cruel. lol

Good Morning Marguerite & Montana Lady & all.

Doll’s head…. OMG, that dress…EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIek!

GMLS&ML

Who am I today, LS?

Oh yeah, love the ‘Best in Show’ sign.

Hmmm

At first I thought Emmett Kelly

But on second look, maybe a throwback to the Ernie Kovac skits??

The only one I remember was Percy Dovetail. Or was it Dovetonsils??

I know, but ain’t tellin’

Red Skelton…………..SSMMOOOOOOOOTHHH!!!!

GM M and Everyone!!!!

grapfhics Tell us

The cigar is making me think Kovacs.

RIght, from the Nairobi Trio. Now find the Gocomic where I mentioned the music they played? And “poetry Lover”, it was Percy Dovetonsils I feel so smart this am, but I am done now. Morning, Ms M. Night all.

‘Morning, grapfhics! You are correct, Sir! You win one Dutch Masters cigar.

Gee………….I lose again.

I’m starting to get a complex.

Love the name tags!

Good Morning Y’all

Some people can wear anything… then there’s Verl.

Ocean her?

“Thunder and high winds…” Oh, Burl, you’re so mean!! Did something go wrong on that first balloon? Looks like some text is missing. Is this a new contest, Julie? Find the missing text!!

First, did some of the first dialog balloon get whited-out? It seems to be missing words. Second, I’ve seen that dress! At a Kansas City Star Trek convention just after Star Trek The Motion Picture was released. One of the costume contestants was… the V-Ger cloud! I think she placed first for creativity. OMG! It was Verl!

sleeping on a serta is like sleeping on a cloud

Hey, grapfhics………………you are in great form this a.m…..

I couldn’t sleep last night not knowing!!!!

That’s what I was thinking, Ash. “Stars an the ocean her?” Word salad means a stroke, right?

“Best in Show” is an appropriate sign. She looks like one of those dumb poodles at Westminster.

Thanx MontanaLady, I usually don’t catch the Night Owl edition. I saw Marguerite’s new avatar first on The Argyle Sweater and asked her about Solfege/ Solfeggio. She countered with another great clip. I think that Ernie Kovacs was probably was one of the greatest comedic minds when TV was truly innovative and entertaining. The YouTube clips are great ways to look back in time. I send a lot of dud & clunkers out there, but once in a while…

Trivia question: What actor’s father was influential in bringing Ernie Kovaks to New York? (I would never have known it without the internet. Who says you can’t learn anything new after 30? or was it 40, 50…?)

Thanks Marguerite. I had forgotten all about the Dutch Masters cigars. Used to keep my baseball cards in them.

Margueritem, see Annie

This particular comic seems familiar to me. Is this a repeat?

Trivia guess: Was it network exec Pat Weaver, father of Sigourney? (I was a fan of Kovacs when he was on a local station in Philly, before moving to NYC. I think his morning show was supposed to be called “Deadline for Breakfast” but he made it “Dead Lion for Breakfast”.)

As for the garbled text, who knows what ha p ed? But I do believe D_S got it right.

I still say it’s a repeat, and Dinette_Setter’s fill-in-the-blank made the memory even stronger. Not meaning anything bad, but when other strips repeat a comic, at least they put “Best of …” or “Revisited” or something to make people know that they’re not going crazy when they think it’s familiar. Or maybe that was just the voices in my head. Yeah, yeah, you’re all just jealous that they don’t talk to you …
