A Pintsize Joke

Comments

the comic before this one should have been 5516

alphanor

The last comic was mis numbered

Not that Patrick Foltz

Just noticed this one is numbered 5517 when the previous was 5515.

Benjamin Leingang

Anh should be careful, as “The day of our invasion shall be known as... bidet” (Naga Royal Guard, Warcraft III The Frozen Throne)

Comics Ladybird

And Anh is the wealth management specialist that Faye didn’t know she’ll need.

Miyaa

Ah. Faye and bidets. It’s been proposed before: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4971

legobil

There was also an earlier arc or discussion in CoD during Marten/Claires initial trip to Cubetown (Faye being depressed about the soon to be move) about sanitation units for robots, I think bidets was in that discussion too.

legobil

From your mouth to Jeph’s ears.

Claudia D.

*replying to Packy* Yay, yes, it’s Yay!

Claudia D.

Sorry to say but the creator of Too Much Information died last year and the comic site is not there anymore. RIP Andy.

Opus the Poet

It was a short lived anime side project that Sam ad Emmet watched but didn't really like.

Doc Gumby

You bet. It crossed over to here along with butts disease.

ValdVin

I swear I saw every season of The Venture Bros. but I don't remember those two characters.

ValdVin

Whacked?

Pete

Snobbè Armoùr

BookBeard

One more observation: Anh's body language through these strips is so well done. Watch those shoulders square up every time she summons her Snob Armour.* *Fancy spelling intentional. Her Snob Armour is bespoke.

Stewart MacWilliam

https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5416 Prediction: somewhere around Strip#7000, she will realize that Sven actually IS her soulmate.

Stewart MacWilliam

Anh probably has little experience with sincerity, but Hanners' sincerity is a particularly powerful variety. It's like deciding to start drinking and immediately reaching for a tank of jet fuel. Anh never stood a chance.

BookBeard

Yet another observation: The stray lock of hair that is still there, despite her attempt to armor back up with her perfect bun, is a lovely cartooning shorthand for where she is in her journey.

Stewart MacWilliam

Oh yeah. And bidets are funny because butts. <3

Stewart MacWilliam

More thoughts on Anh and her situation: (since I devolved the previous thread into wordplay) For her entire life, Anh has been rich and beautiful. From her drunken comments, she's been raised to believe that being rich and beautiful was all that mattered. Until Hannelore, she had never met anyone who was rich, beautiful and genuinely good. Since she has relied on sex as validation of her worth, she fixated on Hanners as an object of desire out of reflex. Her follow-up conversation was full of her trying to realign everything to some scenario in which everyone wanted to "rail" her. That didn't work. Her earlier condescension didn't work. Hanners' sincerity BROKE her. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5429 (BTW: the flying hairpins in the last panel are brilliant cartooning.) Her reflex was to redefine herself as Rich, Beautiful, and Bisexual so she could re-establish her projection of superiority. Coming to Faye is her mostly subconscious attempt to learn to be a complete person with a sense of self-worth. In these strips, she keeps reflexively being condescending because that has been her entire personality until the wedding. Look at her face in this episode. In all but the fifth panel, she is being a genuine person instead of an intimidating pillar of superiority. (The hesitant smile in panel 4 is heartbreaking) Since all of our original main characters have pretty much gotten their shit together, we're now getting a bunch of new characters who haven't. Besides Anh, we now have Ayo, Liz, Moray, and the entire population of Cubetown to be hilarious and yet heartfelt messes.

Stewart MacWilliam

OMG now I follow and of course Pintsize would know 😓 Edit: we don’t kinkshame in this kitchen though 😅

Corvus Cardia

Seems that's a bidet for AIs. Not an actual AI that is a bidet. I was horrified at the idea of being an AI that is a bidet. :O (i'm sure pintsize already knows a few.)

Michael Steamweed

*applauds BookBeard

Michael Steamweed

Excellent use of cattywhompus.

Colleen Dewis

Or as in the antelope? Or Binky's illegitimate son?

Hugh Eckert

"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

Hugh Eckert

Bubbliterated.

BookBeard

Laughing out his ass, even.

Halloween Jack

AI bidets are already taken. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4972

Corvus Cardia

I mean Nemesis. That's the word.

Doc Gumby

The Evil Doctor Buttcheeks is laughing now, Human Bidet's supervillain!

Doc Gumby

I was not aware of that thing. Now I must begin reading that thing. :)

Michael Steamweed

I hope she survives getting Bubblesed. (Bubbled? Bubblesated?)

Michael Steamweed

And when we say “hiding in the air ducts”, we must recall that the ventilation system environmental controls were built with far, far too much spare processing power. (Bloody Moore’s Law.) In fact, Yay now *is* the air ducts…

Philip Masters

My friend the Professional Philosopher suggests "missophontry"

Stewart MacWilliam

See *Spacetrawler*. The potty-bot encountered there is quite dedicated to its function in the universe.

Philip Masters

Misontopy would be a dislike of everything that exists, potentially including inanimate objects. I don’t think even Iris goes that far. “Sentience” is simply possessing senses, eighty years of misuse in science fiction notwithstanding. Iris appears to disdain all intelligent, self-aware life, and the word for that might be something like “missapienthropy”. Or just “miseryguts”.

Philip Masters

Scene of a famous murder is still advertising... it could turn out for the best.

Raymond Dannelly

I think maybe misontopy. "Onto" as in ontology.

Stewart MacWilliam

Missentience?

Stephen Wells

Speaking of Iris: we need a word that expands "misanthropy" to be more inclusive and include AIs. (MisAnthroPC heh)

Stewart MacWilliam

I hope she survives getting Irised.

Stewart MacWilliam

At the wedding party, Faye was brutally honest and brutally kind (as only Faye could be) at the point Anh's self-image was turned completely cattywhompus. Of course she's impressed upon Faye like a baby duck. Hannelored, then Fayed. What a devastating double-whammy. Twenty-some years of complete self-absorption and privilege won't be cured in an instant, but she's taken a step to try to become a better person.

Stewart MacWilliam

Everyone thought that the Human Bidet was the worst superhero concept, but who's laughing now?

Halloween Jack

Those two. Absolute brilliance. "Idle roomer" is the best line in the bit. And it's a throwaway!

Stewart MacWilliam

Feel sorry for those people actually named after a day of the week. People keep blaming Monday for things, keep joking about hump day to Wednesday, and Friday is just way too popular.

Miyaa

Oh Anh, you'll never get it right, cause when you're laying in bed at night, watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all...

Sam Trenery

No the last thing we need is an anti-Brun (who also had their apartment & workplace burned down)!

Miyaa

Robot AIs need their own robot bidets too!

Michael Steamweed

I think most of the world knows it, with the exception of those crazy backwards imperial-system-hugging 'mericans.

Michael Steamweed

"Bongo" as in the "DoA" bongo phenomenon?

Michael Steamweed

Rule 34 has several associates. One of them has to deal with "author makes up kinky-ass kink and later we all find out it's already a thing."

Michael Steamweed

That's next week.

Michael Steamweed

Faye might squeeze her; the shop certainly has several powered devices for squeezing soft squishy things.

Michael Steamweed

Most sensible development I can think of, is Anh has accounting / financial skills. Maybe connections. Something that can help expand the business. Assuming, of course, Faye doesn't murderize Anh.

Michael Steamweed

By the gods below, I am nigh-horrified at the prospect of AI-bidets. Not quite where Faye's mind went, but bad enough. May these terrible thoughts not bear fruition. :O

Michael Steamweed

"I really what?"

Rich Holmes

I just looked over the list of words that start with "wha", and have no idea what word Ahn was about to say.

Jonathan

Optimum possible outcome: Anh turns out to have legit tech skills that complement Faye and Bubbles, can afford to do an unpaid internship at Union Robotics, genuinely wants to do something practical with her life, and will bond deeply with Faye over exactly how great bidets are. Second best outcome: just the bidet part.

Stephen Wells

Why a duck? Already famous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om45xUUVYGw

William Burns

Being a time traveler is a real pain in the continuum. You'll need to be careful not to mention March 30, 2025. Hang on, which year is this?

William Burns

Fair. I feel like I’m one of the very few to get a chuckle out of this one. Oh well, to each their own.

Brian

😂 Yes, I buy that. (Including the last one)

enchantedsleeper

Isn't it more in fairness to Anh that she DIDN'T burn down her apartment? (as far as we know)

Bagge

She's just running through a montage of all her most impulsive moments. Sleeping with Sven, drinking herself into the hospital, punching Corpse Witch in the face, murdering Anh. Oh wait umm... forget that last one. Spoilers.

BookBeard

Here's to hoping The Duct becomes a permanent character

Not that Patrick Foltz

Faye would murder her almost immediately. She's been granted a stay of execution for now, but living together? No way.

enchantedsleeper

Any bets as to what memories specifically Faye is thinking about in panel 3? xD

enchantedsleeper

It's always Thursday somewhere.

BookBeard

It makes sense that they would get the joke, because they have been listening in on all conversations in their sensory radius since they arrived.

enchantedsleeper

You all confuse me when you say these things, because it's Friday in my timezone xD Thursday is a day where we do get a Patreon comic.

enchantedsleeper

omg that completely changed my view of the comic FAYE KNOWS

SpookyPenguin

Faye has; it was in the last comic xD

enchantedsleeper

I was hoping to see Anh go flying when Bubbles got there xD

enchantedsleeper

That would only make sense if Faye was in the room when Pintsize made the joke, though. It doesn't work particularly well as a callback if there's no link with the character who's saying it. Oh well; not every joke has to land, but I had higher hopes for a Pintsize joke in relation to Anh. Lots of good material there.

enchantedsleeper

woosh

SpookyPenguin

@Sean there's a lot of that going around lately. Supplies are getting low.

Opus the Poet

Oh, she's not going to let Anh WORK for them. They couldn't afford to hire May, and Faye likes May. Faye might still help her, though.

enchantedsleeper

In fairness to Faye, her apartment burned down...

enchantedsleeper

Shhhh bonus comic bonus comic

enchantedsleeper

is Ang the new Marten, a new best friends in the hood? Is she gonna be the new roomie toooo?

Pille

Honestly, she kinda pulled the same move Faye did when she shoved up on Marten's doorstep

Bagge

That panel 4 face!!!

Bagge

Her mouth is such a doodle, and I’m here for it 🤣

legobil

...and then I read a little further along in the comments and Bookbeard clued me in. It's a callback to this: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5260

JCfromNC

Ah. And **now** I get the joke.

JCfromNC

Me, too. I'd have pretty much the same reaction as Anh to what sounded like a complete non-sequitur, because I can't figure out how "what's his name" follows from "I use a bidet."

JCfromNC

Jangff, I regret to inform you that it is once again Thursday.

Sammitch

Then I'll squeeze her the pan way and change her life for the better. 😅😂😉

Carrie

She didn't even hire Sam to clean the shop! I don't think we have anything to worry about with Anh

Grace Kieser

I just realized Anh pulled a Marten!

Grace Kieser

I don't think she's even considering hiring her (yet). To me this just reads as Faye realizing she's perhaps being a bit harsh on Anh in light of her own history.

BookBeard

I came to make this same comment. It's super duper important that she doesn't commit to anything before bubbles can talk with her about it.

Bel

That's it, Anh goes into the compost heap.

Doug DeJulio

Thank you. I was so lost.

GrumpyRage

All of us, Rich. All of us.

Joseph Bonnar

That hopeful look on Anh’s face in panel 4 🥺… just want to squeeze her. Straightly, of course 😏😁

Corvus Cardia

It's Yay!

Packy Anderson

Ma'am, respectfully. You better talk to Bubbles about this. Better yet. Let Bubbles take over this "interview"

Brittany Huckey

And the winner of this month’s BookBeard challenge is Mark!

Miyaa

Faye, are you going to make another decision about the shop without consulting your partner? Remember how that went last time?

Populuxe

Good, I'm not the only one who thought today was Wednesday!

Not that Patrick Foltz

It only took 5517 comics, but I think this might be the first time a QC joke landed flat for me. I mean, that was a pretty impressive run.

Alcaria Swain

FAYE NO

Jack Foy

I feel that Faye is giving in to reason too quickly, there hasn't even been a little mayhem yet!

Doc Gumby

“It has a label on the side - Made by Union Robotics. Who did you make it for?”

Andrew

🤣🤣🤣

Vilinda

Just make sure you don't turn it up all the way... https://www.wigucomics.com/oc/index.php?comic=1484

Diptych

Heh

Rich Holmes

Awright, who's been praying to Jeph?

Rich Holmes

It's the difference between wet and dry sandpaper!

BobC

Nah, that's what folks say when opening a fifth.

BobC

callback to https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5260 (Ayo squashing pintsize's face to shut him up might have been the most sensible/normal thing she's done all comic)

Mark Eichin

It’s a special gift because Jeph loves us!

Melissa Wilson

🤫

Melissa Wilson

I don’t like where this is going. :(

Swaggy

HER name is Ms. Sparkly Butt

Shawn K. Younkin

I see Pintsize has been regaling Faye with his encyclopedic knowledge of obscure sex acts. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5260

BookBeard

This is canon and I will not hear another word on the subject.

Cass

https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4964 "If I scream, don't worry"

Mark Eichin

And potentially both really cheap, and something an idiot can install. (Me. I’m the idiot. In regard to plumbing anyway.)

Nancie

Yeah? What’s his name?

Melissa Wilson

An update on Thursday? Anh really is causing chaos.

Rich Holmes

If you know, you know!

Melissa Wilson

Or is it… pASSed?

Melissa Wilson

Ooh, a @BookBeard challenge!

Miyaa

"Bidet? You've said the secret word!" Ahn has passed Faye's secret "Is she really a rich bongo?" test.

ValdVin

In fairness, Faye is already somewhat familiar. I can't remember which specific page, but Hannalore did have one installed in the coffee shop.

Thunder

Nope, nope, I’d better not.

Holly Nelson

At the risk of soliciting Too Much Information…

Holly Nelson

The speech bubble has no tail, Yay is hiding in the air ducts

Cody Renton

Ah, breaking the fifth wall.

Holly Nelson

I'm surprised he got approved for the prescription, given his cheekered past

Nilbog Nerw

All they can offer is palliative treatment. Every day he has to get an injection of Assinine.

Sean Kinlin

Of course it's clean, it uses a bidet!

Shawn K. Younkin

💯 CRUSHING it!

Melissa Wilson

It's the voice of Jeph from on high.

Sean Kinlin

At least it's a clean joke.

Sean Kinlin

Anh the throne, using a bidet.

Sean Kinlin

It may be cruel of me, but I hope they never find a cure for Jeph's butts disease

Nilbog Nerw

notgoingtosayitnotgoingtosayitnotgoingtosayit *clamps hands over mouth*

Noah

Who is the heh? An amused poltergeist living in the air ducting?

Holly Nelson

Shhhh! No one tell Jeph this is a Thursday!

Shawn K. Younkin

Bidets are *really good*.

Lorelei

Faye, let Anh invite you to the wonderful world of Asian bidet, whether it’s the high tech Japanese wonders or the more Vietnamese (and Thai really) sink spray attached to the side of the toilet where the cold water line flows bidet. You will eventually thank her.

Miyaa

Maybe Pintsize is looking to diversify

Michael Boettger

Butts. Classic Jeph! 😀

Melissa Wilson

Not an unreasonable question in this world.

Bill Silvia

Faye is winning the “Best Final Panel Face” category so far this year.

Brendan Jones

Heh

Cyclomo

that's a little too vanilla for Pintsize tbh
