Transcript:
Ann: "TJ! I need you in here!"
TJ: "In a sec. Got a customer"
Ann: "What customer? I don't see anyone"
TJ: "They're on their way"
Ann: "TJ, are you taking care of someone right now?"
TJ: "Yup"
I hope TJ drives her crazy… well crazier than she already is. I must add that I think it’s funny how Ann pokes her head out behind a wall like she’s being sneaky.
To people who are here for the first time in the comments section, do go back to yesterday to see how good this discussion are can get. Far from total agreement, but great discussions on both sides.
I’m glad to be back to TJ and Eiffel. He’s in his element, and taking to this challenge like a fish to water.
Real life got in the way and I wasn’t able to put my two penn’orth in about yesterday’s discussion about Shakespeare and such… which is a shame, because I had a threepenny bit to toss in. Such interesting discussions around here.
This Eiffel Woman has FIRED employees for MINOR infractions and HERE she has an INSUBORDINATE, Grinning Counter Jockey standing around doing NOTHING? And He’s STILL Employeed?!!? Pleaaaaaaaase!
Here, I’ll HELP:
“Miz Eiffel? I’ve been waiting 20 minutes for My Morning Coffee and I can’t seem to get any SERVICE from ‘Pretty-Boy’ Here. Perhaps I should call Corporate and…,”
As Greg let Tiff expound all she wanted on LA, it IS fair ro get back to this incompleted arc. No idea just which way it will go, but it should be fun to watch.
TJ must have arranged a party. But who? The fire department? A motorcycle gang? The health inspectors? Maybe the girls from Hooters. The suspense is killing me. Don’t even think of retiring, Greg, you’ve still got it.
Another offensive remark. I hope someday you growup enough to know better than to make such generalizations. Not all women in charge are like Ann anymore than all men on this site are like you.
@Dave53:1-The sandwich is sticking its tounge out at Anncause it knows what Ann is gonna get.2-As for Ann firing him I think he is going to trip her up as to make her do something or reveal something that when she threatens to fire him he will will have something on her that will backfire so bad she will be forced NOT to fire him and he will bring up the insubortinate that Mordock999 metioned.
I think his goal is to frustrate Ann to the point she explodes and says or does something that will get her fired. He is good at that – get people annoyed and frustrated. This is what he is doing in this panel…building Ann’s frustration with him.
There was a little boy, Who had a little curl,Right in the middle of his forehead. When he was good, He was very good indeed,But when he was bad he was torrid..apologies to HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
It’s been commented somewhere else here that TJ seems to be independently wealthy. Wouldn’t it be funny if he OWNS WeenieWorld, and Ann Eiffel tries to fire him, only to wind up fired herself for some breach of corporate policy?Does anyone besides ME see that coming?Am I sufficiently EVIL?
TJ’s strength is that he not only doesn’t get intimidated by his “superiors”, he makes that very clear to them as well. G-d knows I can use some of TJ-ness right now…
Somehow, I can’t believe that TJ is going to do anything to hurt or humiliate Ann. Greg isn’t vindictive. But, then I’ve been wrong on pretty much all of my predictions. Still, I can hope.
Dave53: For some strange reason, delis are considered separately from fast food places, even though food is usually as fast or faster than chains, greasy spoons, and similar places. They have a wider choice and (usually) better quality too. I stand by my statement on that technicality.
Ah, but I think she wants to get him in the sack…therefore, she’ll put up with an awful lot—just look at what some guys will tolerate to achieve that goal!!
Someone mentioned Ann manipulating Zane. She was not able to manipulate him. He was not intimiated by her. That is why Zane got fired and Bernice stayed. (Does Bernice still work at the bookstore?)
@baldeagle, my parents read that to me. I was the little girl etc and always had pretty little bows in my hair – celebrated until my brother was born (when I was 3.5) so I was the lesser child from that point on. after that, all my achievements did not matter and I even had to relinquish my beautiful slide rule to my brother when he went to college (and probably never used it). It was my most prized posession at the time – lovely machined aluminum with a beautiful leather case! I went on later in life to be an HVAC engineer and he only sold door to door and then got a law degree after he was married to a kindergarten teacher who let him loaf while she worked (and divorced her when he graduated ;-P) He spent the rest of his life with the VERY blond receptionist from dad’s realty office (who dumped him a year before he died of brain cancer KARMA). I think his exwife is doing fine with her new family (he tried to blame sterility on her too).
I wonder if Greg Evans ever reads these comments so he knows which story lines the readers like and which ones bore. This one obviously is a favorite….

Simon_Jester almost 13 years ago
Is it merely a coincidence that there just happen to be NO customers in Weenieworld while TJ’s working up front?
Or, is this part of the plan?

His SCHEMES never work but this is who TJ is…he plays mind games and plays people. That is his nature, who he is, in his element…
