I think Cornelius and Teodor both figured this out at some point. I remember Connie explicitly mentioning in his blog that he felt a little bad about fleecing Ray at pool all the time, but, what's one to do?

Beef took a "me day" and dropped $1303.46 before tip, before 10 am. He might not be rich, but he's got a little money.



Look at how many underwear Beef bought. Does he - does he just wear one a day and toss it? DOES ROAST BEEF NOT WASH HE GODDAMN UNDERPANTS

(actually given his experiences in laundromats I could kinda understand that)

Also that's really expensive underwear at 3 bucks a pair, if he was just buying Hanes or Fruit of The Loom he could have gotten a year's supply for like a fifth of what he paid there

If pressed, he'd probably toss off something about how the newest thinking coming out of top perineal research tanks indicate that repeating underwear usage causes mad buildup of impacted sebum in the forcemeat follicles.

I go back and forth about Teodor on this. He's clearly benefited from the Ray ATM at times (baseball cards, etc.), but he's the main cast member who's always broke and scrounging for rent money. So I'm not sure if he's making the Ray Orbit money but still living beyond his means, or if he's usually telling himself, "nah, I'm better than them, I don't need to mooch off Ray, I can work for my money," and then just... not doing that. Because in my head, Teodor is definitely the kind of character who would believe that kind of thing about himself despite the empirical evidence otherwise.

I don't like wearing factory fresh clothes, I always wash them after purchase. There's something about the production dust and chemicals that makes them feel weird. A year with only unwashed factory boxers would drive me nuts. But perhaps not that nuts.

One thing worth noting about Beef is that when Molly "leaves" him for a bit and he realizes how poo poo his living conditions are, he is able to move out on the spot. This implies that he has some decent amount of money but was mentally trapped into living with his abusive grandmother.

Teodor also seems to enjoy marijuana and pays a very high rate for it from Little Nephew.

Teodor would make more if he wasn't such a ditherer.

T mopes around all day, and only occasionally grifts Ray for cash.
I think from a lack of realization that he could, than from any sort of moral stance.

Isn't there something about how Ray always has six hundred dollars between the couch cushions? Like that's a Ray sum of money to have lying around the place? But I might be misremembering and it might even be text in one of the books rather than a strip.

Moving out is more than just rent, unless Ray's feeding him constantly. This sounds unwise, as Ray's likely to wander off in an alcoholic haze.

I swear I remember a short series of strips where Roast Beef accidentally stumbles onto a scheme that nets him gently caress You Money for the rest of his life, but he's so socially unprepared for this that it almost destroys him emotionally. Ray recognized this and offers to make the problem go away, but also makes sure that while Beef's bank account will always be small, it will never be zero, and he'd always be able to get anything he really wanted.

Maglites were only popular with guards/Police because it was hefty enough to use as a weapon.*
As a flashlight, they were lacking. I did see that you can purchase LED conversion kits for maglites.

Tony Hawk’s twitter and YouTube are the part of the Internet I go to when I want there to be a zero percent chance of getting mad about something.

Also thirding the love for “obvious style born again Christianity” being a great descriptor.
