Interesting.. Could it be that this new body, in making Pintsize feel more like a person, has caused him to see others as 'people' as well? Is this what empathy looks like? ...or does the body just come with a propriety-filter that's on by default?
I think it's the perception of humanity. In his former bodies he was basically an imp and acted the part. A human couldn't get away with half the stuff he did. Which is an interesting thing to explore - he is cognitively the same AI he always was, but his perception of self and other are directly impacted by being more or less humanoid in appearance. There is no inherent reason that his inappropriate and bizarre behavior is less or more tolerated because of the form factor of his chassis, and yet here we are.
Some one should have read the release notes more carefully
From a below the table, end of a dark alley distributor???? LOL.
Awareness of the body changing one's sense of propriety, in portmanteau form?Proprietoception?
I can't quite read Willow's expression in the last panel. It doesn't look as happy as her line implies.
I like tijubas too 🤘😂🤘
sighris
There's at least one post showing support for Pintsize x Willow (who have only just met each other) and that's fine. I show support for Willow x Iris x Yemisi and that's not fine. Why? Is it because I used Tumblr terminology?
hehe tijubas
Weren't tijubas one of Taco Bell's larger offerings in a previous decade? ;)
Somehow Iris totally steals the scene. Again. She's climbing to the top-5 of my favorites in QC.
As Glompus Van De Hloed would say "I saw a nice pair of kazonglas and I lost all my senses!"
Look. I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying TIJUBAS
I’m sort of amazed that we have gone thousands of strips without seeing Pintsize do a double finger point.
He hasn't had fingers until recently
This entire storyline was just so Jeph could introduce the term tijubas
That wouldn't surprise me. If a t-shirt or coffee mug becomes available on his store very quickly, you'll know that you're right.
and I now want a shirt like Saitama's Oppai shirt.. but saying tijubas... :|
TIJUBAS!!! XD
Responsibility was exactly the trap Pintsize feared all along
Perhaps the real tijubas were the friends we made along the way.
I CAN'T GO BACK TO TIJUBAS! NOT AFTER THAT DONKEY SHOW...
'Tijubas' will likely become a common nickname for breasts within a few months, thanks to the magic of the internet. I wonder if Pintsize will ever realise that it's his fault? Also, yes, I think Pintsize is actually attracted to Willow. I wonder if either of them will ever notice?
I recall that being a song from a musical: 🎜 Tijubas! I just met a girl with tijubas! And suddenly I found they make a funny sound, when squeezed. 🎜
I remember now, it was from Breast Side Story.
It's like the comment section had to take over for Pintsize!
SOAK LOGS IN WOOD
I need a T-Shirt of Iris in the last panel. Uuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhh is exactly my morning routine. :D
TIJUBAS

Uh oh. Pintsize got grinch'd. He grew a heart!
... Or some body part or another.
I continue to love all of Them

tijubas
He's subconsciously pulling himself back. He realizes on some level that it's less funny and more threatening to make these jokes with his new stature.
There's a This American Life segment from many years back (in the "Testosterone" episode) that made a similar point. It featured a trans man who felt the dynamics of desire were complicated by their transitioning: lusting after a woman as a "lesbian" had felt edgy and cool, but the same feeling as a "man" felt kinda creepy. (Paraphrasing from memory, so I may have the phrasing a bit off, but this was the general gist of it. Anyway, the whole episode is *fascinating*.)
I’m going to enjoy Pintsize going through his quarter-life crisis.
I'm pretty sure Tijubas was the first one to die in The Crucible. That's not the future I want for fun bags.
She does work at Hex-Mex, so maybe?
Hooray for Tijubas!
The general look of Ardent, but none of his forwardness with women :D
As a Burning Crusade Classic player (Blaumeux realm), I read this and immediately created a blood elf hunter named "Tijubas". Sigh, another toon to level.
Iris: "I'm just tryin' to charge here!"
TIJUBAS! --N
Is this the most Pintsize has interacted with people he doesn’t live with? It’s delightful seeing him grow.
Yes if you don't count his trips down to Tijuana, or the anthroPC parties he used to throw, or the anthroPC cafes he's no longer allowed to go in, or his connections to the former robot fighting ring, or his weekly poker game. Which reminds me, when was the last time we saw Gordon?
She does have great tijubas, though.
Objectively true.
It plays different when you're not two feet tall with a face like a Wooper, huh
character development???
In the year 2031 this strip is cited in the OED.
yaya tijubas!
Tijumpaloompas?
:/
And she’s sitting on her bobuas?
Willow and Marigold must never meet
*Solemn nod*
TIJUBAAAAS
I know it's supposed to be Ju as in Jugs, but I'm reading it as Ju as in the Ju of Tijuana or Hoo. Tee Hoo Bahz Tijubaz
my thought exactly
Poor pintsize
Is Willow having a glass of Milo? Do Americans even have Milo? I don't think Americans even have Milo. But in that case, what is she having a glass of? ...suudsu? Is Willow having a glass of suudsu?
I'm going with a bowl of cereal in a glass. Probably Cocoa Puffs.
what euphemism for boobs starts with "baz"
Bazooms!
Did someone say tijubas!?
*to the tune of of Konosuba* Ti -Ju - BAZ TIJUBAZ
Some first-class Pintsize expressions in panels 2-4.
I miss the old Pintsize who attached a fleshlight to himself and put a porno photo on his back
Getting whiplash from all these scene changes...
I can tell that the ju part should be like jugs, but I can't stop myself from reading it like juice. Also, it sounds like I've found a new word to call mine
It's awkward with the jugs pronunciation. But I like the awkwardness.
She had huge tracts of.... tijubaz.
Robogal still being plugged in is like me getting out of bed and putting on a blanket
In a sense, Iris and Willow are both having breakfast :)
Henceforth "Motorboating" shall be referred to as "Playing the Tijubas"
Tijubas... I just saw a girl's bare tijubas... And suddenly I'm blessed How beautiful a chest can be...
Tijubas is funny, but I’m hoping we don’t lose the little sociopath - his new body was enough.
Love it! I am going to use it too.
LOL Thi implications? He might have to retire the big purple Dildoe.
NEVER
Absolute Tijuanas
tiJUUUUUbas (i have that cartoon airhorn vision now)
My brain is pronouncing this with the Spanish J.
TIHOOBAS
This new body has a public decorum subroutine? Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha!! Pintsize, you are so boned.
It's even weirder than that, if I understand correctly! It's the same subroutines he's always had, but it turns out he just feels wrong saying that when he looks like a "person" rather than an adorable smol blob. He is so boned in either case, though.
Tijubas sounds like a word you could have only found on Yahoo Answers
I mean huge tijubas, massive whompadompas
this is gonna stick isn't it
TIJUBAS
Tijubas
Poor Iris
Iris chose this life.
T-shirt! T-Shirt! T-Stirt!
Yes like “I’m a TIJUBAZ man.”
