Somewhere, a robot should appear and say: –
“Danger, Quill, whatever your last name is! Danger, Quill whatever your last name is!”….

I don’t think its dangerous here. These characters are getting more mature if you didn’t notice. The whole idea of TJ having a business, which is apparently doing well, is evidence of maturity. He might be wacky, but dangerous? No.

would you ever have seen Sam Walton running the checkout at your local Wal-Mart? ^ I know you are referring to him doing it now, probably, but before his 5 gazillionth store, he was running the stores that became the WalMart/Sam’s empire…so, technically, he was running the checkout, it just wasn’t named WalMart or Sam’s yet…

Hmm… “Danger, Quill Robinson!”… nah.. wouldn’t seem to work… Would people even remember that name? Doesn’t sound like anything I’ve even heard, before… (XD)

He can moonlight as a villain, known as: ’The Chameleon".. and dupe Quill into doing his evil bidding… now we just need Batman, Superman and Spiderman to flip a coin and see who ends up owning the rights to fighting him regularly….. or have him be the Kamelion and deal with the “good Doctor” exclusively….

It is not so certain TJ’s “magic” will work on Quill. But the food truck business will probably prosper with Quill’s help….

Quill is already rethinking his decision to come back to Hicksville. “Think maybe I should’ve stayed home…”

I think T.J.‘s just “looking out for the Family” that he kinda latched onto (Can’t remember the exact quote) He know’s that Quill’s “Luanne’s Guy” and is providing a work environment that will be free of any “Ann Eiffel” types.
Besides having another, and differently, handsome guy behind the counter can’t hurt in retaining the repeat female customer’s interest.

Sam, maybe but the ones who have inherited it or the board members never, ever. They’re too busy killing off the American small store owners.

Why must you be so negative? This is a comic strip and not real life. If you are this upset by a fictional character, please avoid watching the news and please seek counseling. We would not want to read about you, (a real person) going postal somewhere.
Contessa Carrington about 11 years ago
Don’t take too much pleasure in that or one will assume that you occupied the same position at one time.

Will TJ sell the business to Quill?
JayBluE about 11 years ago
I planned to incorporate “special” in there, I really did (for example, “check out our specials !” or something like that)… but, as usual, there was a long line of words and it decided it didn’t want to “wait in line”, Lol!

I doubt Quill knows how to cook as well as TJ, so there will be some disasters upcoming. Maybe the truck will catch on fire, and then TJ will open a corner deli. Maybe there will be no fire, and TJ and Quill will successfully run the roach coach until Quill overstays and gets deported. We shall see….

True that we all do many things over the years as things change (very few have it all figured out and are able to sustain their path no matter what). I wanted to be an architect (and was willing to join the convent for that opportunity) but my parents wanted grandkids, so I married at 21 and gave them 4 in 5 years. Worked at home doing dressmaking and calligraphy.
When youngest was in kinder (1/2 day) I worked at a hot dog and chicken place where I peeled potatoes in a tumbler and diced the onions by hand. I finally divorced after 16 years (long story) and decided my best skill from school was drafting so I did in a variety of places (getting into product design in each). In one where I was designing control panels, I thought I wanted to specialize it that but my lover/best friend steered me away from that, so I would not “spend all my time in office”. He suggested I get into HVAC (he was a machinist who by then had his HVAC business).
From then on I worked for many places in that including the 9+ years at Zenith (often point of reference for me) and another 9+ years at my last place in Illinois (where I would still be welcome they said if I moved back). Too bad I can’t stand the weather (not for the man AND the job).
As to what will evolve between TJ and Quill AND Luann, only Greg knows and I’m sure he will surprise us. It IS fun to try to second guess him as it relates to our own experiences.

Please forgive if this was mentioned, but Google isn’t much help in providing Quill’s last name. Wikipedia doesn’t know. The quote most repeated in the Google subject list is “Danger, Quill whatever your last name is!” Big help!

TJ’s a dreamer— a “personality type” that loves to come up with ideas but has low tolergance for details & execution.*This might work out that Quill takes over the truck. Lost for culinary knowledge, he gets G’man’s Mom to make some beanie & frank casserole, which turns out to be a HUGE hit. Then, like Blondie, she takes on a second career as a caterer.

Going “Bonkers” has Always been TJ’s problem…Quill’s problem is that he did not check out the job Before he hired on with TJ. But then, TJ probably always had an alternative plan in place…he just needed someone who is a bit unacquainted with him to fall in his spider web… Guess all that cooking Quill did for himself in Oz is coming in handy… ;)

As per my comment yesterday, with a little closer look I suppose TJ’s van could be a vert dark maroon, and not brown.

Maybe his name might be “Tingby”? ^That would be the last name of one of Gunther’s ancestors… the needle and the thread and the spindle and the flax run deep in their family, LOL!

Not unless Quill secretly ‘darns the socks’ every now and again, ha ha!
