The dialogue in the last panel is worth a five, I think.
judahnielsen » pro1 years ago
I'm with you. Teodor's line is one of the best sentences I've ever read.
radishes » pro11 months ago
I agree too. Let us each revel in our own metaphorical pool house.
rainwolfj » pro5 months ago
I prefer a metaphysical manifestation of a pool house.
epicurus » neu3 months ago
I half-agree. The other phrasings are clearer, but the one that was used has better comedic timing (it takes a moment to get what he is saying and that makes it better) and also it sounds more faux-intellectual which fits with the scene.
Oh god my comment was even more pedantic than yours I AM SO SORRY INTERNET I AM SO SORRY

I personally would have used "made in."
Please accept these two pennies. They are symbolic of my thoughts.
djwhiterabbit » neu1 years ago
agreed.
madnes » pro1 years ago
The last panel always reminds me of the scene in Boogie Nights, where Amber and Rollergirl can't leave the bedroom.
"Too many things, too many things".
dropkickpikachu » pro1 years ago
The first four panels are amazing. I love when Onstad does panels without dialogue.
whitey » pro1 years ago
I agree. I had my finger on the 5 trigger after the first four panels. The rest was just gravy.
kochipoik » neu6 months ago
I had to re-'read' the first four panels, just because they were so awesome. Then I saved the picture, opened it in paint, stitched those four panels onto one line and set it as my desktop background.
Aint no explainin' those panels, other than great.
rainwolfj » neu2 months ago
I think I'm missing something if you've managed to read those panels...

Panel 3 is awesome. Smiles in perfect equilibrium.

Got to love that raised eyebrow of Teodors when he they wave at him.
lexsenthur » neu2 months ago
After all the awkwardness of see his friends in what appears to be some bizarre sex ritual, he finally realizes "This is too damn weird, time to go inside and find out what these guys are actually doing.
Of course, his fears come rushing back when he is surrounded by his friends wearing cell phone strap-ons, calming himself by thinking, "It's okay, I don't think they'd have their way with me if I said 'no.'"

I couldn't help but notice that those contraptions never came up for sale on this site.
morganization » neu1 years ago
while the dialogue is genius, the first panel when they realize teodor is watching them is pretty fucking funny
overmedicated » neu1 years ago
Those two are so goddamn cute when they smile.
ich_bin_ilya » neu1 years ago
beef smiles so rarely. it's nice to see.
ggvaidya » pro9 months ago
No longer wondering where his real dong is must have cured his depression! And you're right, those are beautific smiles.
saru » neu8 months ago
I do this only because I made the same mistake for so many many years, and in the anonymity of the Intertron you may learn in the glorious silence that does not require pride.
But I believe you mean beatific
eonblue174 » neu1 months ago
You know, Roast Beef isn't just depressed, I think. He just doesn't spread his joy evenly. Has anyone been as happy as him when he saw the guys do Cheers? Not even Philippe.
kazad » neu1 years ago
Congratulations, in a way.
jesler729 » neu9 months ago
This, combined with Roast Beef eying him up and down, is pretty danged creepy out of context.
presterjohn » pro8 months ago
Usually I ain't big on using Achewood quotes in real life, epicurus-style, but really your life is not correct if you haven't tried greeting a friend with this line.
spinynorman » neu5 months ago
man I ain't fallin for that one again
ctrl-s » neu1 years ago
PERFECT SENTENCE.
never_die » pro1 years ago
the enlightenment on Teodor's face in panel 11 is...is...beyond utterance.
jaydub » pro1 years ago
Does T stuff his shirt? His profile with and without his shirt look distinctly different.
connellingus » neu1 years ago
The sweater Penny made for him must be pretty thick.
plezure » pro1 years ago
Ray stole my idea.
joeyramoney » neu1 years ago
teodor looks excellent without a shirt on.
estutius » neu1 years ago
Teodor sounds like me after three hits of LSD.
girdag » neu1 years ago
'We've made a discovery. A breakthrough. Please, remove your pants.'
Oh, how that phrase could either herald happiness or hell.
c_dizzle » pro7 months ago
I thought it sounded like a line out of a Monty Python skit.
Replace "pants" with "trousers."
gumfish » neu7 months ago
I always mess up when saying something about pants to someone online and then remember they're British.
spinynorman » neu5 months ago
We really need to steal that word. "Trousers" is just goddamn hilarious.
lawbot » pro11 months ago

an enlightened Teodor is not scared off by the proposition or remaining in the pool house for an indefinite amount of time...although, if they remain in the pool house, how can they expect to pull in more converts to the walk of the enlightened?
nbray » neu9 months ago
The desire to pull in more converts is a symptom of unenlightenment. The enlightened Téodor has no wants.
mastronaut » pro9 months ago
I wish I could chubby that statement more.
godfatherofsouls » neu8 months ago
Wouldn't it be enweightenment?
ariamaki » pro10 months ago
I am openly in love with the ending line here, and use it whenever possible to blow off arrangements.
xi » neu8 months ago
But how else are we to broadcast our severe loserdom to the world? HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
charchar » neu4 months ago
WHY FIND OUT?
fosters » neu6 months ago
You know the first few times I read this statement I interpreted it at "I am in love with the ending line like it's a living thing, and thus when people propose an arrangement like marriage I blow them off for my true love, the ending line." I like it better this way. It freaked me out.
Needless to say I am completely high as hell.
captainphaze » neu7 months ago
Teodor is just dragged into the greatness by Ray and Beef. Saying that, the last panel is a glorious illustration of why we should ALL wear these pants.
hardelicious » neu6 months ago
It takes a special couple of dudes to get spotted pouring water in each others' extended crotch cup and immediately default to pleasant, unassuming friendliness.
ampkit5 » pro6 months ago
Wow, I really misread the title of this strip. Thought it said Teodor is bi- curious.
deusoma » neu5 months ago
That was the joke, unless I miss my guess.
charchar » neu4 months ago
That title is quite possibly the best arrangement of words across which I have come today. I am in Sci-Fi class, and "Sci-Fi Curious" is going on my binder. In Sharpie, so they know I am serious.
