The Dinette Set is a single-panel newspaper comic by artist Julie Larson. Larson's comic began as Suburban Torture in the Los Angeles Reader and other alternative newspapers in 1990.[1] It was then syndicated daily by King Features in 1997;[2] it is currently distributed by Creators Syndicate.
The comic satirizes middle-class culture; its main characters are 50ish sisters Verla Darwin and Joy Penny.[1] The comic gently pokes fun of middle-class perceptions (and misperceptions) of common, everyday issues.
