The dialogue in the last panel is worth a five, I think.

I'm with you. Teodor's line is one of the best sentences I've ever read.

I agree too. Let us each revel in our own metaphorical pool house.

I prefer a metaphysical manifestation of a pool house.

I'm going to invite some lames upon myself by pointing out the clumsiness of the phrase "Made by a life". "Made based upon" or "Made during" would make so much more sense.
epicurus » neu1 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
kelsotimebomb » neu3 weeks ago
I personally would have used "made in."
Please accept these two pennies. They are symbolic of my thoughts.
djwhiterabbit » neu1 years ago
agreed.

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 » neu4 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 » neu1 weeks ago
I think I'm missing something if you've managed to read those panels...

Panel 3 is awesome. Smiles in perfect equilibrium.
niraj » pro4 months ago
Agreed

Got to love that raised eyebrow of Teodors when he they wave at him.

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 » pro6 months ago
No longer wondering where his real dong is must have cured his depression! And you're right, those are beautific smiles.
saru » neu5 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
kazad » neu1 years ago
Congratulations, in a way.
jesler729 » neu6 months ago
This, combined with Roast Beef eying him up and down, is pretty danged creepy out of context.
presterjohn » pro5 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 » neu3 months ago
man I ain't fallin for that one again

PERFECT SENTENCE.

the enlightenment on Teodor's face in panel 11 is...is...beyond utterance.
jaydub » pro11 months ago
Does T stuff his shirt? His profile with and without his shirt look distinctly different.
connellingus » neu9 months ago
The sweater Penny made for him must be pretty thick.
plezure » pro10 months ago
Ray stole my idea.
joeyramoney » neu9 months ago
teodor looks excellent without a shirt on.
estutius » neu9 months ago
Teodor sounds like me after three hits of LSD.
girdag » neu9 months ago
'We've made a discovery. A breakthrough. Please, remove your pants.'
Oh, how that phrase could either herald happiness or hell.
c_dizzle » pro5 months ago
I thought it sounded like a line out of a Monty Python skit.
Replace "pants" with "trousers."
gumfish » neu4 months ago
I always mess up when saying something about pants to someone online and then remember they're British.
spinynorman » neu3 months ago
We really need to steal that word. "Trousers" is just goddamn hilarious.

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 » neu6 months ago
The desire to pull in more converts is a symptom of unenlightenment. The enlightened Téodor has no wants.
mastronaut » pro6 months ago
I wish I could chubby that statement more.
godfatherofsouls » neu5 months ago
Wouldn't it be enweightenment?
ariamaki » pro7 months ago
I am openly in love with the ending line here, and use it whenever possible to blow off arrangements.
xi » neu5 months ago
But how else are we to broadcast our severe loserdom to the world? HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
charchar » neu1 months ago
WHY FIND OUT?
fosters » neu3 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 » neu4 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 » neu3 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 » pro3 months ago
Wow, I really misread the title of this strip. Thought it said Teodor is bi- curious.
deusoma » neu2 months ago
That was the joke, unless I miss my guess.
charchar » neu1 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.
