I was always a bit puzzled that Teodor would saunter into a room and do a weird sing-song voice about getting yelled at. Feels like a bit of a rough transition. That or I'm missing something.

1. Ray and T screw up Pat's night with fake DVD covers http://achewood.com/index.php?date=03272007
2. Pat evidently calls Teodor on the phone (off camera), who has nothing better to do than answer a call from Pat and get yelled at
3. Teodor comes in to the room and sarcastically talks about getting yelled at and throwing some shade at Pat, rolling eyes etc.

That's fine, but why would Teodor be puzzled about everyone watching gay DVDs when that is the subtext of the story arc? Huh, Onstad??

Immediately before that sequence of strips, teodor's being yelled at, specifically

Him being "puzzled" by people watching gay porn is a "doth protest too much" reaction since he just got walked in on doing the same thing and couldn't bluff his way past a five year old.

Ah, that makes much more sense, completely missed it. I think of Phillipe as a typical enthusiastic five-year-old so I tend to forgive his outbursts, but yeah he is totally yelling at Teodor. I will say that of all the people I've met in life I haven't encountered someone quite like T, or close enough to remind me of the character. I suppose that makes him a good vessel for the occasional author self-insert. The guy proudly holding a bowling ball aloft in his trim sweater.

e: I just imagined Pat calling the house from the motel room, completely irate and wanting compensation for the $300 he spent on a spurious DVD rental.

He was yelled at by Onstad for playing pornography in the open in a house with an enthusiastic five year old.

It's a good joke, to me, that Nice Pete never even thinks of murdering Pat. Another good one is that everybody who watches Rod Huggins perform immediately respects his skill as an actor.

Ray had to use his social connections AND give the police chief a Hummer - the car, not the Teodor kind - to get out of that one.

He also doesn't really take him seriously as a person. Pat is annoying but any judgment he passes is completely without impact because he's just a trifling little shithead. If Teodor told Nice Pete he was a low class guy it would trigger him, but Pat is a screechy idiot and personal insults for him are a special middle step of respiration.

"I believe the individual is unfairly corralled into segmented maturity. At twenty, one's head might be fleet with sums, while one's heart might be dishonest in its appetite. At forty, one might finally understand the methods of children, yet find one's ethics crumbling. In practical application, a man is many of his ages at each moment, each old playmate hoping to be heard one last time before the black wave calls him by the cuffs."
