Transcript:
TJ: "Here it is: we make Weenieworld THE hangout for the back-to-school crowd, desperate for summer not to end!" Ann: "And how do 'we' do that?" TJ: "With summer-themed decor, music AND menu items like...... TA-DA! The teeny bikini weenie!" Ann: "What is that? Olives, toothpicks and...?" TJ: "Magic marker. Workin' on that"

I told you he would be running the store soon…
traneengineer about 12 years ago
Maybe running it down is more like it, however.

He’s going to sell the idea to her, she’ll take it. Corporate will then fire her if she accepts it and runs with it in her WW.

Ok, is TJ gay or something?
Why do guys always say that about other guys? TJ doesn’t have to be gay simply because he doesn’t make a move on his boss. What a comment! It’s really absurb to do so while in the workplace, …she’s much older than he is and b) she’s ugly, domineering, inconsiderate of customers…and staff ..and would eat him alive for breakfast at the drop of a hat. TJ deserves much better than her.
kfccanada about 12 years ago
Oh…and TJ’s creation looks borderline obscene…IMHO. Maybe he’s setting her up to look stupid in front of her bosses.

TJ, what does it make you think anyone would chomp a phallic looking item with female parts on it – yuck. Phallic looking food are best covered by plenty of condiment to conceal it’s phallus nature.

But corporate wouldn’t go for it because it requires too much labor to create.

Oh, lordie! Even by TJ’s standards, this is one lousy idea! Maybe he’s trying to sabotage Annie Awful….

That’s more disturbing than Ann’s behaviour.

What happened to the storyline where TJ is making Ann’s life hell for bullying Brad? Last panel to this storyline was where OX left in a huff because Ann wasnt a nice person? I was hoping to see what that storyline went to. Enjoy

Yeah, real scared. I’ve already posted plenty of strips like this, where TJ has made the first move, and yet there’s always some excuse on your part why they somehow aren’t valid. FYI, Zane didn’t find “foxy” Ann attractive at all, either – guess he was scared of females as well?.Acting like gentleman is another issue, but really has nothing to do with whether you’re attracted to he opposite sex or not. Misogyny and heterosexuality aren’t exactly mutually exclusive.
dblbaraje about 12 years ago
Maybe the idea is bad on purpose – like previous comment, Ann claim it as her own and die.
CCMMJJ about 12 years ago
The thought of TJ around teenage girls is kinda scary.
dr_dolittle_rwc about 12 years ago
This is the perfect way to get back at Anne, just wait for the lawsuit after someone bites into one of those toothpicks!!

Magic Marker fumes? Well, you can definitely get that from those white marker-board markers; they even put a warning on the label not to breathe in the fumes.

Remember TJ is there to make Eiffel fail or go crazy whichever comes first.
Ginispics about 12 years ago
uh…not one of your best ideas there TJ, but I am betting she will buy it, take credit for it …..aaaaannnnnd get fired! haha
kenhense about 12 years ago
Somehow TJ will come up with something – then AE will take credit for it.
gmu328 about 12 years ago
now that is funny. I interpreted that he is joshing with her …. I will love to see her take it seriously ….
mojitobaby about 12 years ago
Why? And “just to satisfy me” is not an acceptable answer. .For years Greg presented TJ as a scammer, of unknown origin with a shady, undisclosed past, so what would be the purpose of showing his dating and love life in detail – helpful lessons on how to love ‘em and leave ’em? It was very clear from the outset that TJ had no conscience, ethics and not the slightest emotional attachments to anyone. The fact that the girls in the example I showed saw him for what he was and took off spoke volumes – so learn from that. .Greg was about as explicit at that point about TJ’s life as he has been about Elwood’s to date – but that doesn’t mean he’s shy about anyone’s sexual orientation. He was quite clear that Ann Eiffel had her sights on Bernice, which caused a stir, so why would he be coy now about TJ’s interests in any area? .The fact that Zane liked Bernice and didn’t find Ann appealing means he liked the “right” females – but the fact that TJ isn’t all over her is somehow damning? WTF? Try not to judge everything by your own tastes – all it will reveal in the end is your own leanings, and not much else..TJ didn’t have the least problem with scamming the DeGroots before he became" part of the family", but now that Nancy and Frank have cracked his shell, he is protective of them. Since he loathes Eiffel and ran over right after Brad quit to apply for his job, it does appear that the primary reason he’s at Weenie World in the first place is to get payback for Brad’s ill treatment at her hands, and for her attempts to come between Brad and Toni. FYI, if you’re out for revenge, drooling all over the person you want to bring down is a major hindrance.

" if a foxy lady like Ann made a move on him, he would end up with something in his pants that looks similar to that thing he showed his boss.".That could be taken two ways!

TJ sure looks gay to me.
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace about 12 years ago
“My stance is that TJ does not date. "-While that IS possible, if we insist on sticking to the theory that nothing any of the characters do happens unless we see it. Otherwise, we can imagine him having interests off screen — or out of panel.-Similarly we would have to assume none of the characters has slept in decades or visited the toilet for any reason.-Could be, comic strip characters are tough stuff. But would it be reasonable?
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace about 12 years ago
“What a wuss. What a coward. Brad that is. He ain’t got the gonads to handle this himself. He has to send TJ in to take care of it for him.”-That would make some sense if Brad had sent TJ. He didn’t, so it doesn’t..“Revenge is not TJ’s to get. “-If TJ feels Brad is his in any way (toy, pet, friend, mark) and that what is his has been hurt, revenge IS his to get. It WOULD be revenge and TJ would be as entitled as anyone else to get revenge.-(Not that I’m saying people should waste their lives seeking revenge — they shouldn’t — but that they can or at the very least, TJ can.)
Txbiker9 about 12 years ago
Nothing wrong with TJ being gay xmen2999. I think he is. You will notice that he has a lot of creative ideas that no straight person thinks of. They always seem to work.. Now is Ann going to go with this sexist scheme and get fired for it? Or does TJ have something else in mind? Who would want to kiss that barracuda?
xmen2999 about 12 years ago
Wrong on both counts, try and keep focused on the comic strip. Whatever comments are made here are addressing the comic humor, not real life.

Was it ever established on why TJ dont need a job? Are his parents Billionairs? Or is TJ a secret billionaire? Did I miss something?

TJ is a weenie.
bronzeskater about 12 years ago
I find TJ’s creation hilarious—if highly inappropriate. However, he needs a companion weenie—for the female customers. :)

Crotch is up a little high. Most are at the leg junction. Perhaps a lettuce leaf, ketchup, or mustard for the bottom? Top & bottom colors don’t have to match. And spaghetti would work for limbs, being edible.

@ALL
I know that art tends to imitate life, but it truly a SAD day when so many demand that it happens! I wonder if these ones are hoping that life would thus imitate art!
IT’S A COMIC!!!
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace about 12 years ago
“TJ is a busy body that sticks his nose into places it is not his to stick.”-You’re absolutely right. Nobody ever really does such things. yeah, right.
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace about 12 years ago
" Crystal was forced to use the boys restroom because the girls was full."-Ah, but did you notice what she used it FOR???? That happened off-screen.-" Sooner are later, you will talk about the fairer sex. Whether tall tales or acutual conquests"-Nah, we considered those things private. The idea of conquering a lady by having sex with her seemed out of keeping with intimacy. You could do tha all by yourself.
