@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Huh.  I guess Eco does get a little drawn out sometimes.  Baudolino took me a long time and I gave up on Queen Loana.  Love the rest of it though.

I hate it when someone gets all Mr. Thinky up in my jam. It happens at least once a day.

When I first loaded the strip I saw panel 6 and thought Teodor was doing his awesome dance move again.

For some reason I thought the word was "prudier"

We should try writing under those conditions.

I'm afraid I'm usually the one who's always getting all Ms Thinky on people. I'm sorry. Sometimes they thank me, though, really.

Cornelius, meanwhile, has offered to stand in for Chuck Williams as a way of teaching Raymond a very valuable lesson regarding the difficulty of creating truly stimulating lesbo erotica.

In the matchup of Cornelius v. Teodor, the winner will be...the lesbians of Achewood.

I hope this arc provides some awesome gay characters like with the GOF, if only so we can see the hilarious names Onstad gives them.

Teodor always fails.  Seems like Ray should know this.

Between Ray's boundless optimism and his tendency to accept anyone else's authority in a matter at the merest whiff of proficiency, it is not so odd to think he'd kind of conveniently forget that Teodor's only good at cooking-with-pretense and at falling for women who play the bass guitar in bands-with-pretense.

Moreover, Ray is incredibly lazy and tends to discard concepts if he is not immediately really good at them.

I'm pretty sure that his reasoning centre shorts out when he needs to get a Potential Failure off his hands and instantly goes to any port in a storm.

This plays perfectly into Teodor's worldview wherein if he has read a few books by the right hip people, he thinks he Knows Things.

In this manner, they are even more symbiotic than Beef and Ray are.
