Debutante Ball

It would be hard to measure my apathy toward today's Dinette Set. Everything in it is such an enormous stretch from reality that the whole thing amounts to nothing. Burl's final remark is especially infuriating. Despite being a play off the tortured weather references regarding Verl's dress, it makes absolutely no sense whatever.

And yet, I'm absolutely in love with the "Press" photographer who appears to be holding the camera's viewfinder up to his mouth.

Double points to any commenter who can actually read Burl or Joy's name tag.

You know, it's funny because we all know Verl farts all the time. So it's a caustic remark about her bowels.

I didn't realize TDS went for the fart humor. But hey, not bad.

Odd, the magic white board or poster in the background both obeys and disobeys the TDS rule of having he letters re-arrange themselves to allow a clear view for the reader. We get a "3-leg sack race" but also "pin th on a Don".

Must be slightly broken...

That dress is truly foul. It looks like Verl's torso is festooned with suppurating tumors.

(Yes, I enjoy using big words.)

Did Joy steal Zippy the Pinhead's outfit?

Joy's name tag says either "Hello" or "Helio". She could have beaten up Helio Gracie and stolen his name tag, but since he did create Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the odds of that are low.

Burl's name tag says "What" or "Meat".
