2024-08-07 09:51:14 +0000 UTCI really don’t think it’s fair to put the the visions the AI seem to get from sniffing tea next to hallucinations a human gets from LSD.

2024-08-07 05:43:38 +0000 UTCHeeeellllooooo square speech bubbles! Totally an AI.

2024-08-07 01:40:07 +0000 UTCActually I'm pretty sure the partial line in panel 2 is her collarbone. It is visible separately from the neck seam in panel 3.
BookBeard
2024-08-07 01:32:13 +0000 UTCIf you enlarge the comic, you can see portions of the seam, but it's not continuous in that frame.

2024-08-07 01:27:19 +0000 UTCPresumably Sam is still operating out of their shop, although the last time we saw her doing a spray was before the time skip, so at least a few months in-universe. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4702
BookBeard
2024-08-07 01:02:47 +0000 UTCNo, it's not just you. I'm splitting the difference and figuring she's an AI.
ValdVin
2024-08-07 00:57:19 +0000 UTCSamantha Beam (Marten's sort of step sister) does sprays (drawings with markers on the robots) using Faye and Bubbles' shop as her base.

2024-08-07 00:23:49 +0000 UTCThere iiis a greater than 0 chance we get to keep one.
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-07 00:14:44 +0000 UTC@Joe I yes there are 'visions' but the AIs sniffing tea for that experience all have their eyes closed and the visions are in their head. @legobil is correct and saying there are less side effects. Muuuuuch less. Trust me.
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-07 00:10:04 +0000 UTCHow is that similar to ordering 100 pizzas to a club
Green
2024-08-07 00:05:00 +0000 UTCthat's not hard. just get a dui.
Joe
2024-08-06 23:11:41 +0000 UTC@legobil I seem to recall hallucinations at one point. @bookbeard any help??
Joe
2024-08-06 23:03:59 +0000 UTCIs it just me or is the security lady missing her neck seam in panel 2? (It's there in panels 1 and 3.)
Lucas Werkmeister
2024-08-06 22:45:18 +0000 UTCDoes anyone remember when in the story Faye and Friend had a little girl who would tattoo at their shop? This is a long time ago, but I fell off then.
Gino Arizmendi
2024-08-06 21:39:54 +0000 UTCEmmett will inexplicably appear in this scene; I’m calling it.
will davison
2024-08-06 16:54:13 +0000 UTCI think she looks like what would happen if Dora and Tall May had a kid.
William Cole
2024-08-06 16:27:08 +0000 UTCAlso consider Evanescent Incinerator
Hugh Eckert
2024-08-06 16:16:28 +0000 UTCOnce I had a "Bagel and lox" pizza. Served cold. Weird.
Hugh Eckert
2024-08-06 16:14:21 +0000 UTCAlways want pizza, enchantedsleeper.
allanfranta
2024-08-06 13:35:18 +0000 UTCSeriously, no one is really prepared to be a dad. Try as you might, the little ones will stump and surprise you.
allanfranta
2024-08-06 13:32:17 +0000 UTCIt thought that she _was_ Even at first glance.
Mark
2024-08-06 12:33:59 +0000 UTCI assume their R&D group should have added re-entry parachutes by now: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3048
David Paul
2024-08-06 11:20:03 +0000 UTCIs Strong Security Lady a crechemate of Evan? :)
Stephen Wells
2024-08-06 10:29:08 +0000 UTCWell, less side effect. I think.
legobil
2024-08-06 09:46:20 +0000 UTCTBF, it's like a cross between a beer and a tab of LSD for her
James Anthony
2024-08-06 08:35:27 +0000 UTCI think it would be more interesting for Pintsize to have a character arc that's not tied to whatever Marten is doing. He has a life in Northampton, so I don't think he really wants to move.
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-06 08:22:06 +0000 UTCI want pizza now...
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-06 08:18:36 +0000 UTCOpposites attract, ergo Liz should bang Evie (and/or Moray). But Liz and Pintsize can be friends xD
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-06 08:15:11 +0000 UTCOh good, another hot character to fawn over. (Security guard)
Huw Morgan
2024-08-06 07:36:40 +0000 UTCBoard him up!
Bagge
2024-08-06 06:49:36 +0000 UTCI love that Bubbles continue to wander the club with a cup of tea.
legobil
2024-08-06 06:40:37 +0000 UTCOh dear, I had forgotten about that. Though if that had been the case I’m pretty sure the building would have structural damage
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-06 06:24:15 +0000 UTCWas it orbital pizza delivery?
Leak
2024-08-06 05:21:36 +0000 UTCSo is Pintsize, right here...
Leak
2024-08-06 05:21:02 +0000 UTCYeah, Boston pizza is an overpriced sit down chain, it's not really the kind of place people usually get takeout pizza from. Honestly I don't see most people get pizza there at all, funny enough.
Matthew Delahaye
2024-08-06 04:49:22 +0000 UTCoh man, what would pizza smell be like for an AI? heaven, I assume heaven. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2024-08-06 04:36:46 +0000 UTCIt's a shame Liz & Pintsize don't seem very interested in each other. They have a lot in common, starting with their effect on security personnel.
William Cole
2024-08-06 04:33:45 +0000 UTC@Sarah Valentine Thanks for putting that so nicely, I think that sums up how most of us feel. I've got a pretty good memory, but I'm still awed by Bookbeard.
Clifton Royston
2024-08-06 03:52:28 +0000 UTCI’m either getting angry robot lady, or I’m getting Crushbot. Either way, they’ll probably break something. AIs, even ones with a human standard chassis, are significantly heavier than a human of similar size.
Chauncey
2024-08-06 03:51:42 +0000 UTCThese background characters are all much too cute I wanna keep them
Fart Captor
2024-08-06 03:50:13 +0000 UTCYou would do well to be very specific about *which* security you want to step on you.
Clifton Royston
2024-08-06 03:47:16 +0000 UTCDoes not look like Pizza Girl to me, more like the LaLeLuLeLo fairy person as a not fairy. Also I don't believe that to be a neck seam in panel one, but rather an undershirt of some kind that just dissappears in panel three because they aren't anyone and it wasn't important to get the shirt just right. They will reappear 10 strips from now as a new character.

Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-06 03:37:05 +0000 UTC@BookBeard OMG bookmarks! duh, why do I rely upon my memory? I could even tag my bookmarks! This changes everything! I was going to write some database software for fun but why reinvent the wheel here. Also The books are great for the first half of the comics. (Hint hint Jeph print another 6 books and take my money already!) You can skim through the books really quick to find something.
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-06 03:34:52 +0000 UTCThanks! I enjoyed replaying that portion of the comic. I kept hitting next... <3
Joseph McGrath
2024-08-06 03:28:53 +0000 UTCHmm. Moray could go around telling people she's the FSM. She doesn't look noodly, but people will make their assumptions about what it stands for.
Sean Kinlin
2024-08-06 03:16:20 +0000 UTCSo that's why they're so upset; they had 32767 pizzas taken from them.
Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-06 03:03:06 +0000 UTCWow, Claire had really long hair back then.
Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-06 03:00:53 +0000 UTCPoor Marten wasn't necessarily prepared to be a dad, but he's become a dad.
Maurice Kessler
2024-08-06 02:59:37 +0000 UTCBecause some people can resist being goblins? It usually has better results anyway.
Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-06 02:54:30 +0000 UTCI have no choice but to assume he did something similar to get himself banned from Canada
Green
2024-08-06 02:51:09 +0000 UTCIt caused a lot of confusion because "Prince Albert in a Can" is one of the most popular imported beers at the bar.
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:43:00 +0000 UTCCan security step on me? For scientific reasons, of course 🥵

2024-08-06 02:40:49 +0000 UTCOh dear, I had forgotten about that. Though if that had been the case I’m pretty sure the building would have structural damage
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-06 02:36:11 +0000 UTCThere is no such thing as too much pizza.
Yelling Bird
2024-08-06 02:35:16 +0000 UTCThe bet was that he couldn't resist the urge to order 100 pizzas to be delivered to the club
Zig Justice
2024-08-06 02:34:59 +0000 UTCThat is a brilliant pickup BookBeard!
Kurist Zero
2024-08-06 02:34:22 +0000 UTCNot really. I use the wiki a bit and I've got a few bookmark folders of major events, particular favorites, etc. but other than that I'm just working from memory.
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:31:20 +0000 UTCThe problem isn't that he ordered the pizzas, it's *how* he ordered them. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3047
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:24:39 +0000 UTCPlot twist: he lost the bet to Yay.
Populuxe
2024-08-06 02:23:33 +0000 UTCThat seems unlikely but the security person might've meant 0x100 pizzas
Alex Burka
2024-08-06 02:13:54 +0000 UTCDo you have any tricks for searching through the archive? I know there's a wiki with transcripts of early comics but it dropped off IIRC
Alex Burka
2024-08-06 02:12:12 +0000 UTCPintsize is not allowed in Canada. He would be turned back at the border
Grace Kieser
2024-08-06 02:10:41 +0000 UTCPerhaps it's a robotic Pizza Girl decoy that Penelope created to throw people off the scent of her secret identity.
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:07:31 +0000 UTCHow is anyone in that club doing anything but going “awooga” (like Tex Avery’s wolf) at Bubbles?
Melissa Wilson
2024-08-06 02:06:55 +0000 UTCMy pleasure
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:05:32 +0000 UTCWell no that makes it much easier. We’ve seen what robots do with sustenance they can’t consume. They don’t make a huge mess of it (well, melon and punchbot do, but they’re perfect). I figure they’d confirm the bet was completed and then throw them away or give them away.
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-06 02:04:29 +0000 UTCNot even Hutt the Pizza?
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-06 02:02:38 +0000 UTC100 pizzas would have been overkill for a human-oriented club, this one is for robots; even if it’s not exclusive, *most* of the patrons aren’t going to have a digestive tract. I guess they could donate them to the homeless?
Hakurei06
2024-08-06 02:02:25 +0000 UTCOr maybe, Pizza Girl has been an AI all along and she's just good at hiding the neck seam while in costume! ...Probably what you said, though :p
Sarah Valentine
2024-08-06 02:00:59 +0000 UTCMoray reports on her trip to the Director and he decides that Pintsize is a perfect recruit for the wacky hijinks research group. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4968
BookBeard
2024-08-06 02:00:27 +0000 UTCNo. He called out at the club to get a Prince Albert out of HIS can. In the middle of the dance floor
Todd Ellner
2024-08-06 02:00:08 +0000 UTCCompletely unrelated, but I wanted to thank you for the old comic references that you put in so many of these comment sections (and I can't remember if I've done before). The jokes you include with them are great, but also it helps me remember the comic better since it's been going so long and my memory is so shite. One of these days I'll do a full re-read, but until then, it's nice to have a link here or there that reminds me of some goofy/relevant moment from the past of one of my favorite webcomics. So thank you for refreshing the memories <3 (Sorry if this is a bit sappy and outta nowhere, just kinda in that mood tonight)
Sarah Valentine
2024-08-06 01:59:12 +0000 UTCNot the worst way to do it, honestly, and it’d be interesting to see pintsize get something approaching a character arc. Yes, him getting a body was a huge change, but it wasn’t necessarily an arc. More like the initial earthquake that sets up a later rockslide.
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-06 01:57:03 +0000 UTCGood to know not to order from Boston Pizza the next time I’m in Canada.
Miyaa
2024-08-06 01:56:23 +0000 UTCIt’ll be something like raw salmon and bay leaf, which my uncle on my mom’s side – her twin brother – ordered for the family the first day of our three month trip to Thailand, where my mom is from.
Miyaa
2024-08-06 01:55:37 +0000 UTCI mean… as long as he paid for them, then he hasn’t really done anything wrong, I suppose. I completely understand why the club would be upset, though. That is quite a random event to have to deal with.
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-06 01:55:08 +0000 UTCI think this is more likely is just Pintsize being Pintsize.
Miyaa
2024-08-06 01:54:01 +0000 UTCNobody out-pizzas the butt
Eric Fisher
2024-08-06 01:50:36 +0000 UTCAnyone else wonder if Pintsize getting his flirt on so hard is Jeph’s way of getting him to move with Marten?
Ron Hamann
2024-08-06 01:47:37 +0000 UTCYou think he's got enough Canadian Tire money to buy a hundred pizzas?
ValdVin
2024-08-06 01:46:17 +0000 UTCI'd bet there's lots of gamboling in that club, depending on what the DJ's playing.
BobC
2024-08-06 01:45:21 +0000 UTCAs consequences from losing a bet go, Bubbles has seen far worse. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4698
BookBeard
2024-08-06 01:40:14 +0000 UTCOk, what do we think the toppings were on these pizzas? I'm gonna open with anchovies, pineapple and green olives.
Matthew Delahaye
2024-08-06 01:39:37 +0000 UTCI mean, actually ordering pizza from Boston Pizza would be bizarre enough behaviour that I would 100% believe it of Pintsize.
Matthew Delahaye
2024-08-06 01:37:38 +0000 UTCLooks like word of Dora's tea has spread

Bob Kuykendall
2024-08-06 01:32:13 +0000 UTCIs that pizza girl?
Mr. Ifrit
2024-08-06 01:30:38 +0000 UTCOoh, I bet he didn’t go with Boston Pizza or Pizza 99 and THAT’S why he’s banned in Canada.
Miyaa
2024-08-06 01:28:34 +0000 UTCJust don't lose bets. Skill issue
Logan Nix
2024-08-06 01:27:56 +0000 UTCEh, he's been more benign. Yesterday he called the club and told them to let Prince Albert out of the can.
ValdVin
2024-08-06 01:27:43 +0000 UTCYou haven't seen the description of the pizzas yet.

Mika Ears
2024-08-06 01:26:30 +0000 UTCHonestly, of all the reasons Pintsize could get barred from a club, I'm actually quite impressed that it's this benign. Could've been worse.
