Everyone Needs A Hobby

Sometimes your friends have to verbally smack ya in the face. I needed this too. Thanks assbot, you’re all right every now and then.

He's surprisingly insightful for a little perv.

So yeah, this topic is a big deal to me, and resonates with some other folks I guess: <a href="https://twitter.com/rfrancis/status/1023078567494799360" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/rfrancis/status/1023078567494799360</a> Thanks for getting into this in the comic. Seriously.

If you combine the fartclown and barnfart is that a barnclown?

This comic hits pretty close to home. Also, something I've realised lately is how much I love Claire and Pintsize's friendship - although they seem very different personality-wise they're both open-minded and good at helping each other see common sense.

I love this. Also, is there suppoised to be an "i" in that word?

I think Claire might have overdosed on YA protagonists.

Actually, 'fartclown' makes me think that Pintsize has been spending too much time hanging out with Faye!

Are Claire's glasses getting bigger? I think Claire's glasses are getting bigger. Don't you? Aren't they?

Actually, the word is "fartiste". HtH HAND. [/fartsplaining] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane</a>

Come on, folks. This side of Pintsize is well established in cannon. He only trots it out when needed, but he's actually really good at his job as a companion. He just has.... unconventional methods.

When a fartclown lets one rip in a farm's storage building, that's a barn fart.

I wonder if Jeph would consider a storyline of Pintsize becoming a well known conceptual artist. I can see some curators getting really into his work, especially as he's an AI (are there many AI artists?)

Honestly, that's some of the best advice you can give a grad student. Good job, Pintsize.

I'm surprised to be the first person to mention this, but there's a typo in panel 4: "suppoised".

Can I request that the fart circus be involved somehow in the next set of choices for bonus comic?

The Pintsize-Claire dynamic is a very good one and is probably one of the best ones in the strip. Wait, did I just say that?

Marten should be able to understand since he's been there before. On that note, what exactly is the age difference between them? I think Claire said she was 24 back when she was introduced but who knows how much time has actually PASSED since then. And I don't think anyone else's age has been explicitly stated...

If Melon is able to impart wisdom to, say, Clinton, then I will welcome our robot psychiatric overloads.

Or as some people say “Hey, Assbutt!”

As a former thwarted library science major, Claire's struggle resonates. Maybe too hard.

I thought Claire understood after the Wolf Urine episode.

You stop abusing wild animals, you have to fill a circus with something. Clowns? Farts? Why not both?

Okay, this was my favorite strip ever.

Good job Claire- you actually caused Pintsize to snap.... XD

I've had that conversation with an ex (the "I don't think I'm going to make it, I'm gonna fail..."). The funny thing is, she was already my ex at the time, but we remained friends afterwards. It does help saying it to someone else, even if it's just getting it off your chest.

FIRST TIME DROID 06 NOT WANT TO CRUSH PINTSIZE.

How many fartclowns can you fit in a VW... and how long can they stay in there?

yeah Claire, stop being a fartclown, Pintsize is right! ohno Pintsize is right. that's one of the signs of the apocalypse, right?

I like this side of Pintsize. Like a lot.

This is adorable

I never knew I would love Claire and Pintsize interactions so much

Fartclown!

Just a little typo in the 4th panel Jeph. But it's nice to see Pintsize try to be good for a change :)

I am going to start using fartclown. It is so great.

Please keep the fartlion away from the flaming hoop.

.... He has a point, she is being a fartclown.
