Antiques Horrorshow

In today's Dinette Set, a estate sale provides the setting for:
  • A panel in which we are supposed to accept that a dresser is an antique based on scant visual and textual evidence.
  • A continuation of the class struggle between Burl and the college-educated class.
  • A shadowy background which appears to include giant Rock 'em Sock 'em robots.

Honestly, how can Joyce and Burl how do Joyce and Burl hope to convince a young, affluent, college educated, couple that they should emulate Joyce and Burl? After all who chooses a life of fast food, Oprah, football, back hair and despair willingly?
