Damn those new data structures *shakes fist*
Definitely a classic
Dear GOD... can you imagine Pintsize as a humanoform AI? *shudder*

Thanks for sticking it out past Web Comic #33.
Given a humanoid body Pintsize could be much more mobile and his creepiness would become exponentially larger.
One theory on Pintsize: he's a Heathkit and the guy who put him together didn't read the instructions.
Does pintsize ever leave the apartment? he doesn't need a full sized chassis if he doesn't have to live in a world designed for humans
He goes on the occasional toast date.
I like how Marten's mug looks just a little like he's drinking out of the head of a decapitated AnthroPC, it made me imagine that Pintsize has decided There Can Be Only One and that's why we usually only see larger chassis AIs (or adorable spiders) these days.
Typo in panel 4. Comprpmising -> Compromising Other than that, great page as usual.
Sometimes, it's genuinely scary how self-aware Pintsize can be. He's actually deliberately working on a 'curmudgeonly old man' routine because he thinks it would be fun to be the sort to ruin everyone's day by complaining all the time. Of course, this is really just Jeph explaining why Pintsize hasn't upgraded his relatively primitive chassis in any ways. I have to say that my favoured theory is that Pintsize LIKES being a self-mobile and sentient desktop system unit.
The penis he ordered isn't an upgrade?
So is Pintsize actually any older than the rest of the AI cast, or is he just a lil' jerk?
Out of the regularly-seen AIs, probably only Station is older.
I feel like if pintsize gets a new body its going to be purposefully odd.
The question is humanoid odd or something different
This makes me wonder how old Pintsize is.
Well, at least 15 years old
inB4 20 people pointing out the.... never mind
I love how for all the arguments Pintsize offers about modern AI chassis options, we still have no goddamn clue how HIS chassis works!
Hey Jeff, how hard was it to draw Marten again after all this time?
Holy crap. When was the last time we saw Marten or Pint-Size?
If I remember correctly, panel three is one of the reasons given for why Mystery Science Theater 3000 has robots.
I think the point from long ago about this still stands - if Pintsize had opposable thumbs he'd be a threat to civilization.
panel 2 - typo - and firm .....
When you lack opposable thumbs (or have nothing BUT thumbs), pretty much all you can do is scream at the universe.
FWIW, in the past, Pintsize has shown that he can do a lot more if he wants to.
5/7 would buy "Eagle Week" t-shirt
sad white bois who have sidekicks? was this a megatokyo reference?
It's *always* a Megatokyo reference. :D
Typo in "compromising"
This really is a classic comic!
Oh my God its Marten! He IS alive! :D
Marten's third one panel appearance in the last 101 comics! It's so good to see him again! Remember when the story used to be about him and his wacky hijinks?
Oh hey, I remember that guy! What was his name, Melvin or something? ;)
Marlin. Right?
