Editors' Comments

"...Only once have I bought a new comic at first sight and Dinette Set was it. You rarely find such broad appeal in a comic panel. I wish there were more like it."

-Jack Brimeyer Managing Editor Peoria Journal Star


"I felt good about being one of the earlier newspapers to take Dinette Set. Love it"

-Dave Hawk, Editor The News-Dispatch Michigan City, IN


"...years ago, the editor wanted to shake up the comic pages and told me to drop 3 or 4 comics, including The Dinette Set. Readers begged us to return the panel... The Dinette Set has been a fixture for many years and readers just expect it to be there."

- Janet Grimley Asst Mananging Editor-Seattle Post-Intelligencer


"...I'm a devoted fan of The Dinette Set. The always funny, often embarrassing adventures of the Pennys and their friends strike a chord with our readers as well. I know because they tell me. It's a great send-up of middle America."

-John L. Beck Executive Editor The News-Gazette-Champaign, IL


"The Dinette Set captures our readers where they live- Julie Larson's homespun lunacy that captures the middle-class homeowning family which is our bread and butter in the newspaper business."

- Mark Ridolfi Editorial Page Editor Quad-City Times
