Unimagineable Horror

In today's Dinette Set, we return from a restful weekend away from the horrors of commenting on The Dinette Set to find horrors both real and imagined:
  • Burl confuses the meaning of "faint of heart" and "gullible" despite such a massive misunderstanding defying non-supernatural explanation.
  • The mere possibility of six ghosts in the next room is less horrifying than the way people's faces slowly merge into the background of the hall they are in now.
  • Most horrible of all is the sheer size of Dot, the Tour Guide; and I am not talking just about her girth. She dwarfs everyone on the room along all dimensions. If anyone disappears while taking the tour, I'm afraid their fate is all too evident.

At first, I was amused by the aptly-dressed "Dot".

But then.

But then, I noticed the hideous claw-hand she had on the door. I spent some time posing next to the door to my office, and I realized that not only must her hand truly be a hideous claw, her elbow pretty much needs to turn backwards in order for her to be in that pose.

Beware of Demonic Dot! Huge lobster-lady! Once most people are in the room, she will eat the faint of heart that wait in the hall, damning their souls to eternal haunting of the hallway!

duke lacrosse shirt?! what kind of political statement is that?

This must be left over from the trip-to-the-Carolinas series a while ago, where there had to be someone with a Duke shirt in every panel. Making it look like a lacrosse shirt this time does imply some political motive, but I'm guessing she didn't mean it.

The two fanny packs are labeled "CASH" and "COINS". And it looks like Burl's isn't a fanny pack at all, but an exposed tray. Did they just get off their shift at the casino? The one with the cigarettes must be off-panel.

I hope they didn't pay for those shirts - the wording is so off-center that it encroaches onto the sleeve.

And you all are missing Dot's most frightening power: the three people in front of her are already her willing zombies. Saddam Hussein is next - he's giving Burl the same look I've seen in The Shining.

Where is Burl's right hand? That would explain the look on Pong's face.
