Line 37: Socially, he always seems cheerful and positive, shaking hands and being personable to everyone he meets, even if he's putting them down. He's been extremely friendly to [[Jake Morgendorffer]] both times they've met ("[[Gifted]]", "[[Of Human Bonding]]"), even though the end of "Gifted" made it clear the Landons thought the Morgendorffers were bizarre people. In "Bonding" he made a backhanded comment about the size of Jake's business compared his own, stating the pickings were too small for ''him'' but Jake should be able to get something; he seems to have intended this as encouragment. Politically, "Gifted" and "[[Is It College Yet?]]" show him to be quite right-wing. He's virulently against welfare (he claims "welfare cheats" force companies to use foreign child labour) and is using "creative accounting" on his tax returns to avoid subsidising it. He may have some ties to Congressman Sachs, since Jodie got an internship at his office (although the show does not state the political affiliation of the Congressman). He's aware of (and contemptuous of) the bigotry at Wizard Computers but points to the [[Wizard Foundation]] scholarship as evidence that some of its employeees want to change that, and believed that this faction could win out if girls like Jodie and Daria would sign up. Jodie has remarked that he "thinks he's Martin Luther King" when he's trying to give a pep talk, and can say some very silly things in the attempt. Line 56: ==Andrew Landon in Fanfiction== Andrew's insistence that Jodie excels academically, whatever she wants, is a recurring theme in fanfiction. In the story "[[A Hard Days' Night]]", he appears as the secret leader of an organization devoted to combating the forces of supernatural evil. Andrew's folding coffee cup makes an appearance in [[Wouter]]'s [http://web.archive.org/web/20130701014631/http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic_series_tw.html "Trouble walking"] story. Andrew had a prominent role in some episodes of [[Charles RB]]'s [[God Save The Esteem]] series, where he was having a kinky extra-marital affair with [[Daria Morgendorffer\|Daria]]'s cousin [[Erin Chambers]]. [[Ruthless Bunny]]'s "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/932090/1/A_Change_in_Plans A Change in Plans]", set during IICY?, has Andrew and Michelle discuss their daughter's life, her college prospects, and her experiences in a majority-white town. They also are dismissive of Mack due to his working class background. [[JoeMerl]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10920759/1/Sitting-on-the-Sidelines Sitting on the Sidelines]" has Andrew deal with the knowledge that his son Evan is never going to become a football player.
