Nah, it was "911 only", as in that's the only number he can call (because emergency calls) until he pays his bill.

Yeah, man. Therefore it was the only person who could call him and the reason his ringtone would go off. It was a dumb joke anyway.

Onstad has some brusque language for people who know what kind of tires they have on their car, but I'm dead certain that's meant to be a late-80's Accord sedan. Which, of course it fuckin is.

I kinda miss Beef's Galaxie. Incidentally, the wikipedia article for "Ford Galaxie" is the first hit on google for "peel-out summer".

may not have been paying enough attention, but since when is Teodor supposed to be can't pay the bills indigent? He seems to always have money for ridiculous risotto challenges and such just from being in Ray's general aura. Is this a new development or am I just an unobservant moron (or both)?

He's not very good at saving money, he has no real steady job, and he often pays rent by cooking up some half-assed scheme at the last minute. He's a ditherer from a comfortable background who doesn't understand his own limitations.

Well, he doesn't have a job, I assume he does a lot of loafing and skimming, as do most of the characters. Critical situations are probably resolved by Ray, who can break off six hundo at a moment's notice to smooth things over, but Teodor isn't above at least trying to be suffecient.

Also Teodor lives with Mr. Bear and Lyle, right? Maybe Mr. Bear finds himself covering for the two every now and then.

I always just sort of assumed that any money for ridiculous risotto challenges and the like are somehow obtained from Ray being bad at money. Not to say that he isn't a massive success or anything but he strikes me as the kind of dude who could easily lose track of a couple hundo here and there.

Who, exactly, is Teodor paying rent TO? Isn't he a stuffed animal at Onstad's house?

They seem to have moved out at some unspecified time. It seems that Onstad has really tried to move away from the whole setting of the comic with the Underground and whatnot and just writes them as people in a world full of talking animals. The earlier strips have tons of black backgrounds from being underground, and beef and ray initially are too small to properly ride in cars. Now they are drawn as though they are drawn a lot more proportional to the cars.

Its interesting to see the shift when you re-read the comic.

For all his wheeling and dealing airs, Ray's main source of income is being incredibly lucky.

E: He's also known to be an irresponsible gambler, which means Teodor could easily make 2 months' rent by playing one game of golf with him.

Teodor is a stuffed animal at Onstad's house. He is also a tenant. Welcome to Achewood.

There was a short story written during the last hiatus that had T reluctantly meeting the other residents of the house as he got settled in. Assuming nothing's changed since then, the only non-paying tenants are Philippe (who is five) and Lyle (who was technically evicted before Teodor even moved in).
