Freedom of Expression

I expect A World of Warcraft scene with him in full Rogue gear surrounded by riches.

Darnel D Cooper

Good Lord! How did you find that comic soooooo far back?

Paul Britt

There's at least one model out there with a 16 inch prehensile writhing erection... and the face/body of Jude Law. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1459

C Bonesmith

I don't think it's entirely for yucks. He is probably exaggerating an aspect of his personality that frames how he chooses to interact with the world around him.

oooo and among other more humanoid-embodied AI joys Pintsize can now experience: tea. I do not want to see where it transports him to though! lol

They look like Birks haha

Aleeza Brown

Excellent point; I think she said something to that effect in one of the rare serious conversations with Pintsize long ago.

Clifton Royston

There are 100% USB dildos for AI and that's why the USB port is there.

Jax

Nah, gotta be crocs. Socks and crocs.

Kuragari

I demand a naked pintsize pic. I need to know.

Daniel Burnett

What, and pass up all the "USB dongle" jokes?

09Klr650

the character or the name?

That in particular is not an easy, breezy thing for her. It's probably not taboo either, it just can't be an "For me, a person's junk is an easily reconfigured joke!" -- "Yay!" exchange.

Peter Lewerin

Ok

Smazzie

What story are you referring to? The only reason I'm still subscribed after almost a decade is that there's no story. There's just a world, and things happen to people in that world. Like, stories have an ending. What ending could there possibly be to QC? It would have to be like Adventure Time. "That's the end of my story." "What happened after that?" "They just kept living their lives."

Forrest Taylor

Sandals and socks.... I'll just leave that here.

Aleeza Brown

Honestly I kinda expected Pintsize to sign up for ALL the functionality.

Marc Ducharme

Pintsize is male and will remain male. The "I'll fuck this snake as soon as I find the hole" sort of male, but male nonetheless.

OldGoat

You are correct; it hasn't been explicitly mentioned before. Millefeuille was the first AI to be confirmed as having "human-standard" anatomy, and then May of course specifically requested it. That May could get her preferred body "off the shelf" suggests that such features are in reasonable demand. That Millie had to warn Faye about hers suggests that they are still somewhat uncommon. I think we could conclude that they are still relatively new and/or luxury chassis options, but I've always assumed that the male anatomical features have kept pace with the female ones.

William Cole

"brought them up"???

In the old body, May imagined having a sexual multi-tool taped to her crotch. I imagine that this body having a USB port there would make such a thing a practical possibility for him. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3305

Mark

I am unsure if a fully functional MALE chassis has been mentioned before. Could someone enlighten me? I an certain that in an advanced A.I. environment they would be but has Jeph ever brought them up in the Questionable Content universe?

Paul Britt

I will admit to be surprised he didn't go down the May route of getting a fully functional chassis.

Chris Crowther

Also Claire in panel 4 :)

Daniel Rydberg

He will ”get away” with less, I would imagine, due to being bigger. But I bet that won’t stop him from trying.

Daniel Rydberg

Don’t you think QC-verse has progressen to USB-D? 😏

Daniel Rydberg

Don’t give him any high voltage ideas!

Bruce Steinberg

Given the last panel, I’d say acting like a deviant for yucks will likely lessen but always remain a part of his personality.

Bruce Steinberg

Looks like Claire has limits to her affirmations. ;)

Bruce Steinberg

If he intends to keep the body he may just get it modded to have a pint sized extension.

Armin von Werner

Pardon: (((((((Shudder))))))) Ok,... I like Pint Size deciding to get a bigger frame. I remember earlier pages where he wasn't goofing off and he almost sounded like an old man who had a cat or a small dog. (Literally years ago.) I think the acting like a deviant for yucks is about over.

Darnel D Cooper

I want a drawing of Pint Size and Ardent making out

Leave Nelson B

he's happy but for the story's sake i think we must say goodbye to pintsize

Smazzie

d'awwww

Bagge

Love the shift in expressions in the last two panels. :)

Still Pintsize on the other end of it though. XD

Dev

Of COURSE he’s wearing Birks and socks. Because unheimlich vibes are what he has instead of a SOUL.

Joseph

Why couldn't Pintsize have the male half of the adapter pair?

Carl Fink

claire was def the best person for this conversation

Dave, Duke of Fridges

Knowing Pintsize, he would have a USB plugin *ahem* sex toy, for when he needed to shock someone.

Ack

Am I the only one who thinks of the "USB port" connector as feminine? Ahem. Not trying to start anything, but that is the convention.

USB 3.Ohhhhh

TubaGinger

I know Jeph retired the bird a while back but this is absolutely what Yelling Bird would say about this.

Dallas Hicks

USBoner

TubaGinger

It’s that new USB-D standard.

Tom wilson

And people wonder why we don't see some characters for months on end. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to do the kind of storyline. Who would have thought, a month ago, we'd have a series of Pintsize working put his gender identity.

Michael Boettger

I really, really like this story development :3

Fart Captor

I’m kind of loving this. Nearly every character has had room for growth thus far, why not Pintsize?

Chelsea

It's "anachronism." "Anarchronism" would be "upsetting the social order by introducing socioeconomic ideas into an inappropriate time period, such as a discussion of collective bargaining in the Roman Senate, or a gift-based economy into a 20th-century capitalism." But I certainly agree with your sentiment. With Pintsize the only tiny "AnthroPC"-style robot left, he really didn't make sense with the rest of the cast. I think this will be an interesting and thought-provoking arc. Does being human-sized make Pintsize more tolerable by removing one of his fundamental sources of frustration (as much as he'd never admit it), or even cruder by giving him more ability to act on his antisocial impulses?

Paul Zagieboylo

"Plug it in"?

Michael Chui

I am wondering, for both Pintsize and May, if their new bodies (and the resulting change in their daily experiences and how others react to them) will lead to shifts in their behavior. But also, I'm wondering what a full-sized Pintsize would end up doing with that giant robot dong he had Union Robotics make for him.

Yonatan Zunger

I have always filed Pintsize's sexual orientation under "things I'm not sure I ever wish to find out."

Yonatan Zunger

Pintsize has felt like sort of an anarchronism for a really long time, ever since QC has branched off from being a slice of life webcomic about one guy and his romantic travails and he has a little crude robot who does hijinks. I would just forget about Pintsize for months or years and then he'd pop up and I'd be like, oh yeah, that's a character in this comic. Needless to say, I totally approve of this development.

Forrest Taylor

NOTE TO SELF! FUCKING PINTSIZE WILL REQUIRE A USB TO MY COCK ADAPTER!

Yelling Bird

I love the sandals and socks. 100% Pintsize

I know, right? I'm now somewhat expecting him to turn out to be ace but in a "I have a shit ton of sexual energy but I don't actually have attraction to direct it, so I must act incredibly raunchily. Also, I can recognize that people are attractive and certain aspects are attractive, but I also don't feel that attraction myself."

Carin Maja Brooks

LOL- you mean the one that caught on fire? I don't think Pintsize wants to KILL his friends.

Shawn K. Younkin

Do robot penises come as USB attachments?

Thisguy

Nah, if Pintsize REALLY wanted to mess with everyone, he'd've shown up in May's old chassis.

BobC

I remember a very long time ago Pintsize came back depressed from a date when AI he was dating was another “he.” Has that changed for Pintsize now?

Miyaa

That might be a Patreon-only image.

Dean Reilly

I will miss the old pintsize body but OH GODS THE MISCHIEF HE WILL ENACT

Forgettable

Love how you've got a real conversation with Pintsize without changing his character at all. Masterful work!

Chris James

*sigh* take your like and go 😝

I've always suspected Pintsize and Kryten had a lot in common.

SpookyPenguin

This is Pintsize. He's probably working on "gender unique," with a side order of "what the hell is that?"

Noise

USB-D

sjlxndr

Apparently Pintsize is too old-school for crocs

Alex Kosnett

TRANS PINTSIZE CONFIRMED??? TRANS PINTSIZE CONFIRMED!!!!!! i can't believe both my favourite character and i have so much in common.

Kurt Lewis

Is this Pintsize realizing he's sort of genderqueer? Like his genitals need to be a USB port?

Carin Maja Brooks

He *did* hire Faye and Bubbles to build him a giant dong. I'm sure they can make it vibrate and attach.

Two steps forward, one step back!

Grace Kieser

So we're just not going to talk about the socks and sandals?

Elberik

Pintsize, showing off the big C in USB-C.

Miyaa

Okaaay....things are progressing par for the course when it comes to Pintsize's sensibilities.

Michael Boettger

And no we know!

Joseph Bonnar

Brings new meaning to a USB Dongle. 😆

Kurtis S Whittington

How long until the Patron exclusive drawingsof Pintsize trying on "USB attachments"?

Sean & Chloe
