A Time For Every Season

In today's Dinette Set, Burl and Joy practice tourism in order to:
  • Blame the Biltmore Gardens for the time of year during which Burl and Joy chose to visit.
  • Hang out with a large group of college graduates, people who have travelled outside the United States, and people who make jackets from screen doors.
  • Stand next to a character (in the Duke sweatshirt) who is clearly meant to be the reader's proxy, regarding Burl and Joy with utter disdain.
  • Take up 1/3rd of the panel with an elaborately-detailed illustration of the building that adds nothing to the panel, which is about the gardens.

Ok, while they're not quite as nearby as when they went to Rock City, it's still terrifying to have the Pennys visiting somewhere within a two hour drive of my house. And apparently the middle of the Biltmore House has moved into that non-Euclidean dimension that the carnival ride from yesterday is in since I was there.
