What the hell does the "T" stand for... seriously?

My money's on "Tiberius"

'The'

I wonder

I wonder if Todd's parent's had stutters

Nah, they were just dicks.

A comment left by riazm was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by theoddwaffle, Deusoma, theplaidknight)

But that story is of dubious veracity as we also know that Suckin' Dick bought that van.

i'm sure that when the bird morphed into the van, he left the license plate frame (?) as kind of a final "fuck you"

Seconded, it's definitely "The"

Wrong, it stands for Todd!

Probably just "Todd"

Whoah-oh.

K-K-K-K-K-K-Kahn!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!

C-C-C-COMBO BRE ... DOH!

Maybe it's "Todd"

Sweet avatar

The T stands for T, like the S in Harry S Truman

How can S stand for T?

S stands for Tea but S its to go Wee. Today's lesson was brought to you back in time by the LETTER S!

The "T" stands for "Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd T. Squirrel." Todd's name is recursive.

My brain done 'sploded.

In my mind, that is read with the cadence of "George of the Jungle."

The TTP Project

Is... is that a Dilbert reference?

You'd best get a head-start now, before the natives have their torches and pitchforks.

but that is a dilbert reference from one of the times dilbert's been funny

TheSoulBear ran. If only he could get to his canoe before the headhunters reached him, perhaps he could get back to the Gold Coast, and from there to Spain.

He heard them crying their terrible war yells behind him, heard them crushing the vegetation underfoot. TheSoulBear broke into a sweat of terror, and nearly stumbled over a rock.

BUT LO! The river was in sight! And his canoe was intact! The natives must have missed it! He doubled his pace, jumping over a crooked log, dashing through the hardscrabble sand. His left leg plunged into a small divot, and he pitched forward with a scream.

He was just about to try and right his footing when he noticed something floating in the red water ahead of him.

It was Dilbert's head.

Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd "Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd T. Squirrel" Squirrel.

Never has a word seemed less like a word to me.

i was going to go with "todd"

just that he's trying to be subtle about it

I always figured it stood for "Todd"

Probably stands for Todd, but he wanted it to sound official

Probably "Todd". I can't see him having parents who were not total dicks.

I also assume it's "The". Ticonderoga would be my second guess, his family is very patriotic.

todd todd todd todd

we need todd merchandise

We need a plush Todd. Just a black squirrel shape, no eyes or other features.

no plush either. just a matte squeak toy kinda thing i reckon.

one of those squishy (foam?) stress things

Onstad, are you reading this??

Nah. The hard rubber that gets used as chewtoys for kids and animals.

No I prefer Zem's idea.

Squshy Todd would be funny, but Chewtoy Todd with Peeled Out On Action would be exactly the kind of thing I'd feed my dog and one year old.

I know the "silly string" metaphor is disgusting, but I love it so.

One totally visualizes the shooting streams of intestines. Good thing I didn't have pasta this evening.

Aww damn, like a dang ol' sea cucumber ?

Oh my god I almost barfed on the ground.

It's accurate. Once again, meticulously researched.

it's either 'todd', 'the' or 'tichondrius'

Would it be legal to name your kid Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd [last name] in honor of your favorite squirrel? I guess it would be legal, but not okay.

Classic Literature Corner:

ever read Catch-22? there's a guy in there named "Major Major Major Major"...


Bob Newhart in the movie. Classic.

Guess what his rank was?

Major.

don't name your kid todd
why did you think of that though
why would you think of that

peeled out on.

i would like it noted that, as i wrote that (intending it to be the entirety of my post), a page came over the speaker in the co-op i'm not doing any work in, which was a request for "todd [to] pick up line one."

i am the only one laughing, but i am laughing very hard.

Do you think Beef is taking a really low key stab at mocking Todd's studder with his "Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd T. Squirrel.

No.

damn my gravy.

"Damn My Gravy."
There is a lyrical quality to Achewood that you don't see in a lot of web comics (or comics in general unless you know what to look for). I think this, more than anything, is what attracts me to it.

Where the hell did Todd's nose come from?

I think that's blow.

I will henceforth anxiously dissect every single menu that comes into my possession in the hope it will help me to escape Hades.

how is it that it took so long for someone to bring up "damn my gravy!"?

Probably the best Beefism so far. Next to the horse one.

Somehow better than Major Major Major Major from Catch-22.

How come when Beef is shot he goes to heaven and when he vomits onto power he goes to hell?

Because he suicided, they're very clear about that.

Either that or he like burned down an orphanage off-screen at some point.

And why is Todd in hell this time, when he normally ends up in heaven (even if he has to watch character-building films while there) after being killed?

Maybe we're over-analysing this...
