    I thought the first panel showed him with moobs until I realized those were his crossed arms.

      Manly men condition their beard so it is softer than the kitten.

      Snickerdoodles are the manlier cookie. Change my mind.

    It’s not gay if you do it in a Manly fashion!

      Without a hint of irony, one of the best male role models in history.

        It’s honestly such a weird show. The “hero” is an incompetent jerk who constantly screws up and relentlessly bullies his most loyal friend who is vastly more competent in every way.

        At least they gradually tone down the bullying as time goes on and the teasing on Tool Time becomes more of a two way street.

          It’s hilarious how much this was based on Bob Vila and Norm Abram from This Old House - although the contrast between Vila and Abram was much more severe.

          Watching a perfect person wouldn’t be super interesting long term.

          Watching a imperfect person struggle in situations when you know how to fix it… engagement forever!

            I get that. But usually the hero is someone who underestimates their own ability and learns to overcome challenges by believing in themselves. Here we have the opposite, which seems more fitting for a villain.

              That’s a tired trope. By giving him character flaws they created a lot of opportunities to show personal growth, and teach lessons. His anonymous neighbor was usually the one to throw down the wisdom which he would take to heart.

                Tim was cartoonishly flawed- the way he treated everyone was awful, even after all that character growth. His kids. His wife. Al. Even his wisdom-dispensing neighbor.

                Most of the wisdom that was dispensed was forgotten by the next episode.

                Which, I think might just have been the actor’s fault more recently he was on another show my parents tried to get me to start watching and I had to walk out of the room- the sexism was that bad.

                But it was the 90’s and sexist pigs was one of the only typecasting for male leads in sitcoms. Of the ones I watched, I think fraiser was the only one that wasn’t…. But that was a gay comedy…

                (Don’t judge I was in middle school, I wasn’t the one picking the shows.)

                  Since when is Frasier gay? Sophistication isn’t gay, despite having some overlap.

      You gotta reverse psychology the cat. Get a teddy bear. Hug that. Cat may become jealous and want a hug.

      And if that doesn’t work, hey, you have a new friend to give a hug to when you need one.

      … keep it away from the cat though.
