It's just a "silly comic drawn for the convention", so no need to be worried. Unless it's canon, in which case I call for the creation of a Pintman Appreciation Society :mrgreen:

Time to reconsider Pintsize's impractical appendages. I guess the purpose is damage control, a fully functional set of hands and feet would cause mayhem beyond control. But is it a kind of punishment? Or just a precaution? Is Pintsize free to upgrade his body if he wants to?

A hogshead is a large cask of liquid (or, less often, of a food commodity). More specifically, it refers to a specified volume, measured in either imperial or US customary, primarily applied to alcoholic beverages such as wine, ale, or cider.

Curses, my lack of knowledge regarding Imperial units has become evident! This is what I get for having nice, simple metric units.

Cheers, pwhodges! So using this list, surely an Imperial Pintsize would be a Butt? It seems fitting.

And the German cousins would be a boisterous group as well.

German Beer is served in a Krug [stein] in either Mass [one lite] and  Half Mass [half lite] sizes but their Bavarien counterpart is Double-Mass [2L] and of course the seasonal souse and party animal - Oktoberfest [3L]

Eh, it's still all bavarian. Everywhere else in Germany we serve beer in a glass, wirh typical sizes being 0.5l, 0.4l, and 0.33l. I think there are types of beer which are served in a smaller glass (I'm thinking Kölsch, which is served in so called Kölschstangen, which are afaik 0.2l), but those sizes are common for most types of beer.

I maintain a Butt would be the most appropriate unit of measurement, given it's Pintsize we're dealing with here.

Well, you can hide away quite well by having a common name. There are several people in "real life" named Veronica Vance. An even more common name (e.g., John Smith) is, for all practical purposes, ungoogleable.

EDIT: Why the heck would Jim have his date at his own workplace? Is it to give his employees something to talk about?
