0030 - The Account, Pt. 1
🕑 Added 2023-11-24 18:00:09 +0000 UTCIn which Téodor — incorrectly pronounced "TEE-uh-door" by some, but pronounced correctly by others as "TAY-uh-door" — is shown in his element: scrambling to finally get a job on the actual day that rent is due. Never mind that most jobs don't start paying for two weeks.
While we're on the subject of pronunciation, a refresher on the most commonly mispronounced character names:
- Philippe: "f'LEAP," not "fuh-LEAP-pay."
- Emeril LeGoinegasque: "EM-uh-rill," not "em-REE-el." Last name standard pronunciation.
- Ray: THE MIGHTY WALNUT, INFINITY, I LOVE THE HILLS AND THE PONDS (blue strobe light, increasing frequency)
So, I recently said I probably wouldn't start another storyline again so soon. Well, this semi-autobiographical tale has been kicking around in my head for years, and it kept nagging at me, so Oppenheimer Roomba Cinema is going to have to wait a month or so. (The Roomba Cinema in question deals with the telling reality of how a movie about the pinnacle of mankind's self-annihilation placed a distant second in box office response to a movie about some toys that meet Will Ferrell.)
Coming up soon in the In-Universe tier: the first of two childhood holiday stories from Nice Pete, detailing a heart-warming coming of age. Posting 12/1. This announcement does not preclude me from posting other things there before that. Author's Tier will be getting another short story from my current works, and part 3 of the Netflix / Achewood saga.

Thrilled to see I've been pronouncing Teodor & Emeril correctly. Devastated to find I've been mispronouncing Philippe, and in particular, Ray. How could I have been so illiterate as to omit the blue strobe light of increasing frequency?!

liked for the pronunciation key in particular

The first time I read the first strip, I thought Philippe was pronounced "Phil-uh-puh."

LeGoinegasque: luh-GWAN-gask

Will we finally learn more about the Commodore sex act?
Oppido
I'm sorry, but look at that left-justified, Times-New-Roman, open-a-Google-doc-and-start-typing-ass note. No wonder they need a senior designer.

Damn. Tina. Is it possible that this- the “hidden” listing, the quick interview, the empty office- is all a part of a grander ruse to get back with her husky knight?
Crumbles
Well shit, all this time I've been pronouncing it Teh-odor.
Datura

Datura

Alternate pronunciation of Ray’s name: Ray, Ray, a Hundred Rays, ONE THOUSAND RAYS!!
Tom PM
What a twist!
Oppido
In my mind, I've always heard "uh-REZ-kyew," but now I'm questioning that.
@misterjayem
This is what you get when you try to be employed! Learn from T's mistakes, kids.
Nicholas Williams

My mind is blown that I've been missing TAY-uh-door for all these years

Deepy concerned about the Emoslavian trade deficit.

Teodor just GOT to know what a Commodore is all about
Finbar Clougherty
Téodor using OnlyFans feels extremely correct

Damn man Tina will stop at nothing. Then again, she definitely KNOWS her target, so who knows. Also, Chris, thanks for updating T's resume. I've been wondering.
John Krane
