Plans B Through W

Working in a library doesn't make Marten a librarian, just like working in a hospital doesn't make someone a doctor.

Dean Reilly

Well, Marten has a job that's *similar* to the one Claire wants, and if you *skim* his job description, it looks like she's massively more qualified for it. But they were specifically looking for someone who wasn't a library sciences major.

I reckon that Jeph has not forgotten that whole 'Marten gets bullied into learning how to unfuck guitars on a professional level' thing.

Jim Lee

I don't know if this is appropriate here, but all y'all trying to get jobs should go check out http://askamanager.com for advice and information. And also at least one free book on job-getting.

It was that way with students in 1980s. They're just lucky that two of them only eat electricity.

No-one's talking about the fact that Martin has the job Claire wants and is massively more qualified for.

Just realizing the economic reality of 5 people sharing a 2-bedroom apartment.

Marten's face in panel 2 is fantastic, his expression really conveys the nuances of his emotions. It's a joy to see Jeph's art continually evolving. 😊

Daniel Blom Paulsen

I applied around from January to June this year and eventually got a job partly because I had so much experience writing applications (since my current job involves helping people write applications and get jobs).

Not the outfit he got with the body, and Yemisi promised to have some ready for him, so maybe. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4555

He seems to have gotten over his Ti-Ju-Baz inhibition. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4555

Somehow Pintsize seems even more malevolent in a humanoid shell.

This seems like pure Pintsize to me, Yemisi seems like the type to add a shirt of some sort. Also a "pearl necklace" is exactly the kid of joke Pinstsize would make.

Orion Rhine

I’m curious whether this outfit is before or after Yemisi made some suggestions? Either way, Pintsize is owning it.

Andrew

ngl, i forgot Pintsize had gotten a new body. i was so confused at first.

Absentia

I'm still scared as shit that Pintsize has opposable thumbs. There is now nothing between us and Pint-o-geddon!

BobC

Pintsize, just start up your OF account and do your thing. You been living there rent-free too long as it is, and you know you want to do it anyway. Stop waiting for an excuse.

Taellosse

I hope that "my serial number is all the name I need" guy is refusing to go along with this "get a humanoid body" trend.

Captain Button

As a trans girl who can't get hired for a good job despite having qualifications, Claire is a whole-ass mood.

Trans4Life2021

You say bonk and I just wonder how Pintsize isn’t already in horny jail.

SalsaBeard

Pintsize has a plan

Bagge

LOL

Darnel D Cooper

"A convenience store clerk with a completely demolished sense of self worth" So, May's old place is hiring?

Michael Boettger

This one hits too close to home

Elberik

No, I think it's HOW he's saying it. In that last panel, Pintsize is definitely posing like a twink! ^_^

I simply did not register Pintsize's outfit as unusual until all the comments. Probably because the skirt reminds me too much of happy pants which also goes very well with pearl necklaces. Either way, it's not what he wears that's the issue here, it's what he *says*.

SpookyPenguin

I like how his increased size does not get him more attention from anyone.

My first thought was a rando like Melon. Who has tits out and a stripy skirt. And a pearl necklace... XD

MercuryBuddha

Not gonna lie, human Pintsize is still surreal as all hell.

Ben French

Yes it is, and it's awesome.

Andrew Mitchell

Who's this guy again? He seems familiar.

Andrew Mitchell

God, I feel this in my soul. I went from an 80k a year contract management job to being a CVS clerk out of desperation a year into unemployment and now I'm doing WFH non-profit support for the same hourly my son gets making pizzas. If you are trying to get any job that's not retail or food service it's DEPRESSING AS FUCK.

Julie Scott

Perhaps she took it out during her job hunt?

Lana Del Prey

I was just wondering if Pintsize was nonbinary!

Pejo

I ALREADY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT!

Yelling Bird

hey... I just noticed... Is Claire no longer rocking the septum ring?

Jeff Gedney

Is Pintsize playing with their gender? Because I am ALL ABOUT that.

I remember that feeling. A rejection letter was always better than nothing.

Dean Reilly

Ouch thats exactly me

Kyle Major

Yeah... rejections rough at first... but then it just becomes numb... But you still gotta keep going.

Shawn K. Younkin

My concern here is Claire's beginning to get discouraged. She's always acknowledged the scarcity of positions in the library biz, but it breaks my heart to seeing hers being broken. And as for Pintsize, somethings never change. As far as his fashion, probably Willow and Iris's roommate.

Michael Boettger

i am honestly surprised he is not *already* doing bizarre dangerous sex acts on camera.

LH

Jesus... here is me hoping for you!

Shawn K. Younkin

Why wouldn't he...? He is best friend to Faye and she wouldn't keep stuff from him so he has to be aware of it.

Shawn K. Younkin

If you want to do bizarre dangerous sex acts Pintsize, you don't have to justify it. Just don't get hurt, and don't get caught!!

Shawn K. Younkin

Pintsize’s sense of fashion is so… Pintsize.

Populuxe

Am I the only one experiencing a certain cognitive dissonance between "charming, nay adorable, smile" and "But it's PINTSIZE!". And muchly Pintsize.

Philip Freeman

Y'all see pearls, I see puka shells

Alan Wiggs

Why surprising, Pint-size is Deeply Classy and 100% a 50's housewife type 🤣

Cal

Teh

Leaflemming

As someone who is up to *counts* a bit over 300 applications in after leaving their last job, I hear you Claire.

aetherspoon

What the fuck is Pintsize even wearing? Is that a pearl necklace and a pinstripe skirt?

Everett Bradshaw

Given the years of Pintsize’s chaotic nature I appreciate that he is expressing himself with his outfit. The pearls are an unexpected choice but a welcome one

KingAtticus

I think it's a wrap skirt.

K C

Is Pintsize wearing pearls and a skirt? Because that's fantastic

Lana Del Prey

Striped skirt and pearls. Nice, Pintsize. I approve.

Ted Van Roekel

Wow, Marten. You actually acknowledging Faye and Bubbles’s financial problems?

Andrea Andrew

Are those clown pants? Please tell me those are clown pants.

Celine Chamberlin

Pintsize, thank you for being you. Also goddamnit Pintsize.

R L

where did pintsize get that outfit, asking for myself
