Line 19:

==Background==

"Nouveau riche and proud of it," states [[The Daria Database]].

Andrew Landon is best known to his peers as the inventor of the folding coffee cup (see "[[Gifted]]" and "[[Partner's Complaint]]"), which is implied to be the base for his fortune. He's quite wealthy as a result, and attends a number of entrepreneur and industry conventions. He wasn't yet in [[Winged Tree Country Club]] during "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]" but was intending to schmooze his way in. He ''had'' got into another club in "[[Gifted]]", having been on the waiting list for ''three years''.

He went to [[Turner]], a traditionally African-American college, but has said in the present that, while it was a good college, he ''had'' to go to an African-American one and would have liked to have had the chance to go to a more 'high-class' one. This was part of his motivation to push Jodie into going to [[Crestmore University]]: a place he wishes he could have gone to.

This was part of his motivation to push Jodie into going to [[Crestmore|Crestmore University]]: a place he wishes he could have gone to.

He knows restaurant franchise mogul [[Terry Perry Barlow]] through conventions and the two are on friendly terms ("[[Of Human Bonding]]"). Per comments in "Is It Fall Yet?", he had recently met [[Kay Sloane|Katherine Sloane]] as part of his country club schmoozing (she's on the board); he acted like he knew the Sloanes socially but this seems to be an act, as he didn't know [[Tom Sloane]] and Tom wasn't aware Andrew knew his mother.

We don't see much of his interaction with [[Mack]], except in "[[Is It College Yet?]]". When Mack wants to talk about Jodie, Andrew's initial, horrified thought is that Mack's got her pregnant.

Later, he tries to nudge Mack into backing up his own plans for Jodie by pointing out Crestmore will put her closer to his college than Turner would.
