The Sound of Music

In today's Dinette Set, the artist once again misunderstands that an audio joke does not work in an entirely visual medium.

But isn't this more a comment that the reason the Pennys don't listen to music is because they always have the damn TV on?

a wise man once said: "brevity something something wit." what is the need for all this verbiage? why not:

Child: Why don't we ever listen to music here?
Old Man: What do you call theme songs, asshole?

Actually we listen to music every day without realizing it. TV shows, movies, commercials ... all play music. As a matter of fact, we're listening to Jeopardy's theme song right now.

Woah, man, I didn't realize Burl was so deep. Like man, pass the bong and turn up the Jeopardy theme. I bet if you played it backwards, you'd start questioning all of your answers.

I still love the way the curtains are drawn. Everything in Dinette Set looks like it's drawn by a 5 year old, but those curtains stand out. She must have paid a 6 year old to draw them.

today's (8/23/07) strip is a symphony of quasi-dadaist imagery and text. since there's no post up yet, here's my analysis:

-Why is the second guy from the left wearing a football helmet?
-Are the three middle characters sitting on medieval torture chairs? I have no other explanation for the spikes.
-Who are these people with heavy mustaches and not heavy beards?
-I'm going to start using "Do you have any sisters, Mrs. Zwank?" as my new non-sequitur.
