She's offered him civil treatment while he's in the coffee shop.

So compared to the other customers, he's getting favoritism.

Carl-E · « **Reply #101 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 20:06 »

True, but if you know Faye, then civil treatment is tantamount to a cold shoulder! I mean, even Angus gets witty banter.

You only hurt the ones you love...

(Faye always did take that too literally!)

Pica · « **Reply #102 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 20:34 »

I would just like to say that I think Faye's expressions have been drawn fucken beautifully. But for srs. They're really well drawn. I believe I heard once that Jeph wanted to move closer and closer to straight-up realism.
srsly man. SO GOOD!

Kugai · « **Reply #103 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 20:53 »

I like the new art style and the subtle nature of it. They're definitely more expressive without loosing anything of the Fayeness and Doraness of them.

Cool going Jeph.

Now, are we going to see Faye taking on a new career?

Miakaru · « **Reply #104 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 21:27 »

Hey, long time reader first time poster here.

I dunno if Jeph actually reads the WCT, but I just wanted to say the the art on today's comic is fantastic. Everything just seems to....click. The Poses at the different angles are great, and the subtle facial gestures just seem so natural. I just wanted to say that I was really awed by it.

0kamisama · « **Reply #105 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 21:38 »

The art's great, and the added details make the characters that much more expressive! Me likey!

... one little thing though... does Dora have cat pupils in the fourth panel, or is that just the sleep dep taking it's toll on my fragile mind? ...again.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #106 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 22:24 »

You've seen the movie "Cat People"? Hugging Faye turned Dora on a little, just enough to make her eyes change.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #107 on:** 22 Sep 2009, 22:28 »

As horrific as panel 4 is, this was probably the best case scenario in terms of all possible outcomes. /recalls RainbowPony's edit and shudders

Also, Momo looks good with the correct number of digits. It actually pushed her *futher away* from uncanny valley, I do believe...

I thought the last panel was funny as hell. Not gross or horrific at all.

My brain shorted out a little when I saw that last panel. Urgh.

Honestly, it was probably the nails that did me in. Plus the thought of Pintsize buying a novelty-sized nail clipper to trim them off, and then hide them in places...

Pintsize now has thumbs. Uuuuuuuuuuuh-huh.

I do not want to know what else has been inserted into Pintsize's USB slot.

LizziL · « **Reply #114 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 01:31 »

The last panel made me cringe and laugh simultaneously. Also, I realize I'm late to the game, but I really liked the subtle changes in yesterday's comic.

raoullefere · « **Reply #115 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 01:32 »

*ahem* I really like this strip. I give it the thumbs up!

Bwaahahahaha!

Shaft · « **Reply #116 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 03:07 »

I laughed at the thumbs, because in all honesty, I was fully expecting the last panel to be Pintsize with an oversized robot dong.

LTK · « **Reply #117 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 03:36 »

Thumbs? They looked more like big toes to me, which is even more gross, but just as funny.

Which is funny because there have be instances where a big toe was used to replace a damaged/severed thumb.

So is Jeph not so subtly telling us Pintsize is about do do something very rash & clumsy? Nahh...

First Akira-esque body horror, and now hideous green robo-digits. Is Jeph trying to give me nightmares?

Could the last strip be described as a thumbnail sketch? Pintsize could now audition for the robo-remake of "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues".

I see Pintsize has been thumbing his nose at the rules again... well hes half way there anyway...

OH GOD HORRIBLE IMAGE!!! PINTSIZE WITH MARIGOLDS NOSE!!! EVERYTHING IS RUINED FOREVER!!!

EDIT: Since my world has now been ruined, i thought i'd take the rest of you down with me, see my avi

Carl-E · « **Reply #123 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 06:47 »

That's what you get with incompatible firmware! Never install Sony stuff on a Dell... or is Pintsize IBM?

Yay for visual puns! Everyone else has already said everything else I've been thinking. 'S what happens when you sleep in...

I'm thinkin' Martin's gonna force him to uninstall, though. Especially if Jeph was grossed out.

NeverQuiteGoth · « **Reply #126 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 11:13 »

Pintthumb!

Is it weird that the thing that bothers me most about this is how Jeph is going to explain how a software update can reconfigure the shape of an AnthroPC's extremities?

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #127 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 11:17 »

Probably the best solution would be to claim nano materials. Don't forget this is a firmware update, so it's at a deep level in the AnthroPC. The firmware might be able to configure the nano materials to change shape. Also, Momo said the update "activates latent macrostructural features" which means the option to have digits was there before. With Pintsize, the update clearly didn't work as intended

Pintsize is more likely to be a Dell than an IBM, given Marten's budget.

The digits are presumably a designed-in feature that was turned off for market differentiation.

Will Pintsize now claim that he's in charge under the rule of thumb?

Happy Anniversary, Jeph. If there's a night that deserves a yelling bird comic (or sweet tits?), this is it. Better yet, take the night off, just enjoy and de-stress.

Believe me, we'll all still be here tomorrow. Nobody's going to deny you an nice evening once in a while.

Just don't make a habit of it!

Carl-E · « **Reply #135 on:** 23 Sep 2009, 21:45 »

Ummm... no. he can give them the Thumb, but it really doesn't have the same effect.

Of course, if you only have one finger, it is the middle finger.

"cops" is unfortunate; cop is "constable on patrol", the plural of which would be "constables on patrol", also abbreviated "cop".

"cops" should be prefaced with "The term", to avoid the sentence structure ambiguity of having a plural referenced in the singular.

Is it bad that I can already think of several things Pintsize could do with his new thumbs? Whats that you ask for examples? Why happily!

What about if Pintsize clipped his newly formed nails and left the clippings somewhere for Hannelore to find? I pretty sure untold horror would ensue.

Ah, but you're forgetting that Pintsize's chassis is some sort of secret Area 51 military kill-bot worth serious coin on the black market. Marten has replaced various bits inside the chassis, so Pintsize is most likely a total yum-cha special by now, rather than any specific brand.

Quote from: ysth on 23 Sep 2009, 22:50

cop is "constable on patrol"

A highly dubious backronym. Cop is most likely simply an abbreviation of the earlier slang term for the police "copper", which some claim referred to their copper badges, while others claim it referred to their function, to "cop" (grab, take etc. as in "cop a feel") lawbreakers. So "cops" is fine.
