0047 - The Account, Pt. 6
🕑 Added 2024-01-19 18:00:13 +0000 UTCI am in the post-norovirus (Wikipedia: “Winter Vomiting Disease”) stage wherein gratitude and joy at the opportunity to once again simply walk the earth course abundantly through me. Breakfast shall be 3-5 almonds, the aroma off a piece of toast, and a cautious gulp of matcha. Then we’ll see how arm day at the gym goes. Hopefully I can at least get to the front desk check-in then back to the car.

Also, I have been informed via Facebook ad that Wingstop has declared this month to be “Dry Rub January”.

Wait a minute, the broken high-end men's eye-wear in the final panel is giving me this weird foreshadowing vibe... like Ray is about to show up, save Teodor's ass from his financial predicaments while cracking wise on T's terrible choices, resume his relationship with Tina, and pen a brand new Prime Time Records hit, "LovePhoenix Remix." Think of the Tradition of Excellence!

i have had norovirus

I don't know how you expect to ever receive the rent if you keep writing him deeper into catastrophe like this. Or maybe T would find a way to fail this hard anyway, with a focus and intensity normally reserved for successes, even if given every advantage.
Matt Amis
Dang but T is having a rough one
Joe Locastro
So true, dammit. It feels like fate is turning his wheel as much as his own bad decisions sometimes.

"She's my boss, we're on the same side" Holy cow I knew he was a dumb boy fooling himself but damn that letter put him into full fantasyland
Traedran
I don't know if it counts as his private kingdom if children behind the barrier of a bedroom door are mentioning it to the landlord because they cannot not hear the little sad bear's onanistic fury.
Oppido
Achewood is really in its "bears lying dead on the ground" era.
E Corcoran
He's also the spinelessness and sexual fecklessness of that generation.

Teodor Orezscu, you are now entering... The Twilight Zone

One gets the impression Lyle told Onstad T spend a couple thou on fashion and fashion accessories.

There's like 7 worse things going on in the living room
Lisa Taylor
Honestly that's what broke me.
Josh Egbert
It wouldn't even rate top ten worst things the Lil Shaver has ever heard in that house.
Dusty Lee
I seem to remember Téodor having a chance at receiving a third leg in the back of Nice Pete's van...
Julie (HiDeeHoGal)
Mr Onstad, you're not being at all unreasonable regarding the rent. However, the amount of lotion/lube a dude jerks it with is his own private kingdom.
Shawn Warren
the actual largest tragedy here is Teodor's phone situation

The symmetry, the mystery, the below the surface hysteria, Teodor’s Return to Saturn is terrifying!
J Hardy Carroll
Fuck dude, I had no idea you were such a dick of a landlord. You're already a god who can grant Teodor eternal life, a third leg, a million billion dollars (like you did for Ray) or Elon Musk's head on a spike (not a jar). But no, you break his phone, write him mean notes, then bust his glasses and twist his ankle. You're going all old testament on his ass.

Flexing? Funking? Fouring? Fadeing? Flowing? Ah, it could be anything! Another fantastic cliffhanger, looking forward to more clues for what the covered word might be!
Joe Locastro
T is the distilled hope, misplaced trust, and over-achievement expectations of my entire generation.
Cy Heffley
chris using that atomic habits mindset, just put on your workout clothes and call it a friday king
Max Kreisky
You can buy new glasses. Being a lumpenprole is harder to fix
Sedric And Charlie
my god Teodor I think this is the second least dignified death you've ever had
Liz
Teodor using too much lotion while jerking off is the kind of character detail that spirals out into the mind and takes hold. My theory? He read an article about the dangers of a dry jack (skin breakdown, irritation, possible infection) and wayyy overcorrected. Like, he goes through two bottles of Jergens a month overcorrected.
Jay Y
"She's my boss, we're on the same side." Sweetie, no....
Hector Jimenez
Clearly you haven't fully explored Carey's body of work.
Oppido
The broken glasses at least make for satisfying bookends with the shattered phone screen.
Oppido
The sad thing is, T could've hustled rent money out of Ray weeks ago with a 15-minute game of pool, but instead he had to have Ego about it.
Matthew Harris
He died in front of pornography once and that wasn't the worst day he ever had. Better than this, though.
zoë hayden
i'm sure recalling his time in the back of nice pete's van is some comfort to him

Rough chuckles
Amit Katz
I keep reading to see how hard T is going to fall and it's getting pretty gruesome
Christopher Malone
There's a metaphor here about the substance/style debate...
Jesse LE
I'm not sure what's sadder, the broken glasses or Teodor genuinely thinking "she's my boss, we're on the same side."
Dan Brookes
Never thought about using lotion before
Josh Egbert
This isn't even the worst day T has ever had.
