#1040; In which Theo does not Like

Comic Transcripts

[[A well-dressed aristocrat with a top hat and thick white sideburns peers at a simply-dressed individual sitting down.]]
Aristocrat: Hey! What’s UP with you? Been awful quiet, huh?
Aristocrat: I noticed you didn’t wish me a happy birthday on Facebook!

Theo: The topic seemed to be well covered by everybody else.
Aristocrat: You didn’t ‘like’ when I tagged you in our old prom photo!
Theo: I… didn’t actually like it very much?

Aristocrat: AND you didn’t accept Jason’s friend request after you two met at the party last week!
Theo: I MET him, but I don’t KNOW him! Not well enough to risk ADDING to my timeline already full of noisy, chattering half-acquaintances! I went HOME from that party after a while, you know!

Theo: Your ninth-grade classmates and old co-workers have your birthday HANDLED. I don’t need to add in even MORE noisy, inconsequential chatter.
Theo: I’m sorry if that… offends you somehow?

Aristocrat: These little things have become SOCIAL NICETIES, Theo. They take zero effort and make you not look like a snob.
Aristocrat: If you don’t want to engage in social niceties, that’s fine, but just know that at this point, it’s a deliberate, pompous, antisocial choice.

[[A banner declares: “LATER”.]]
Friend: He sent you a LETTERPRESSED THANK-YOU CARD for liking his status about eating a taco?
Aristocrat: If my choices are indifferent Theo or sarcastic Theo, I guess I’ll take sarcastic Theo

{{alt-text: In his defense, the prom picture was one of Theo’s less likeable portraits — due largely to his attire, and his expression, and the carpet tacks he carried clutched in white-knuckled fists. It… was a different time.}}
