By: E&P Staff “The Dinette Set” just got a better place at the table.
Julie Larson’s single-panel comic, which has built a large national following through self-syndication and through King Features distribution in the late ’90s, will now be distributed by United Feature Syndicate, effective May 31.
“The Dinette Set” satirizes middle-class culture, juxtaposing thought-provoking
observations with funny, absurdist background imagery. Adding to the comic’s whimsical charm is Larson’s recent inclusion of a “find-it” word or object for readers to uncover, embedded within the elaborately illustrated panel.
Originally titled “Suburban Torture” when it bowed in 1990, the comic became “The Dinette Set” when it went into national syndication with King Features in 1997. These days it is featured on the comics of such papers as the Detroit News, the Houston Chronicle, and The Record of Bergen County, NJ.
