Tour de Force

In today's Dinette Set, it's as if the artist is just throwing stuff in there to annoy me:

• In the category of grammatical woes: "You were a lifesaver" who the hell would use the past tense here?
• In the category of drawing perspective: The only place that car could possibly exist is in an Escher painting.
• In the category of stuff that takes too long to explain to be worth explaining: how much gas is in the car.
• In the category of stuff that doesn't even need to be there: the car keys in Burl's disembodied arm.
• In the category of unjustified bits of the narrative: Dale's shock-lined reaction.
• In the category of stuff to annoy pinball: screen door pants.
