Definitely a classic

Dear GOD... can you imagine Pintsize as a humanoform AI? *shudder*

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Thanks for sticking it out past Web Comic #33.

Fletcher Williams

I'm glad this got addressed, I've been wondering what Pintsize thought about the new AI bodies

Given a humanoid body Pintsize could be much more mobile and his creepiness would become exponentially larger.

SARA J DAVIS

One theory on Pintsize: he's a Heathkit and the guy who put him together didn't read the instructions.

kaitou

He goes on the occasional toast date.

Lightsabr2

The question is humanoid odd or something different

Ariel Rosenfeld

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

Ariel Rosenfeld

The penis he ordered isn't an upgrade?

Ariel Rosenfeld

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.

Out of the regularly-seen AIs, probably only Station is older.

Ben Russell-Gough

FWIW, in the past, Pintsize has shown that he can do a lot more if he wants to.

Ben Russell-Gough

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.

Ben Russell-Gough

So is Pintsize actually any older than the rest of the AI cast, or is he just a lil' jerk?

Luzahn

Wow this felt like an entry from very early on.

Well, at least 15 years old

Grace Kieser

I feel like if pintsize gets a new body its going to be purposefully odd.

Dylan T

This makes me wonder how old Pintsize is.

Brent Catherman

inB4 20 people pointing out the.... never mind

FunkyTuba

I love how for all the arguments Pintsize offers about modern AI chassis options, we still have no goddamn clue how HIS chassis works!

Tim Eldred

Oh, he's a threat no matter what. Period. The day he gets a cup of expresso? World wide horror.

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?

Hawkeye

If I remember correctly, panel three is one of the reasons given for why Mystery Science Theater 3000 has robots.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

I think the point from long ago about this still stands - if Pintsize had opposable thumbs he'd be a threat to civilization.

Mandy Hoskins

panel 2 - typo - and firm .....

DresdenQ

It's *always* a Megatokyo reference. :D

Dark Storymaker

When you lack opposable thumbs (or have nothing BUT thumbs), pretty much all you can do is scream at the universe.

BobC

Marlin. Right?

BobC

5/7 would buy "Eagle Week" t-shirt

Matt

sad white bois who have sidekicks? was this a megatokyo reference?

Typo in "compromising"

Rich Holmes

Dammit! “Old robot yells at The Cloud.”

Summer Sudbrink

Old robot yells at cloud.

Summer Sudbrink

This really is a classic comic!

Alex Mullenix

Oh my God its Marten! He IS alive! :D

Kyle Jenkins

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?

Cody Renton

Oh hey, I remember that guy! What was his name, Melvin or something? ;)
