Tim David Michael

Tim David Michael is a famous painter who shares a studio at Campbell College with Connie Kendall. Penny regards him as an amazing artist, but working beside him tests Connie's patience. Tim plays screaming banjo music, keeps the room uncomfortably cold, and brings smelly lutefisk into their shared space. Connie silently endures each irritation because she avoids an honest conversation, even while advising Wooton not to hide his own discomfort from Penny. When that contradiction becomes clear, Connie and Tim finally discuss every grievance openly. The conversation leaves both of them happier and more considerate. Tim's eccentric habits create plenty of comedy, while his studio partnership helps Connie see that respectful honesty is kinder than quiet resentment.
