Pintsize's fundamental character

<< < (3/10) > >>

Here's where I am going to Blow. Your. Mind.











Pintsize is Jeph's view of these forums.

We Are Pintsize.

The Dandy Inferno:
Has anyone read the Dresden Files at all? Pintsize is remarkably similar to Bob, the talking skull. Both are creatures of intellect, but not subject to any real moral code that people can recognize.

Also, they're both filthy perverts.

The Seldom Killer:
Just starting from the original strips it's clear to see that Pintsize is, at the core, of things a narcissist, which makes me think that he isn't the personification of Marten's or Jeph's ID.

Given the later introduction of a story arc that explained he is of military design, his other character traits become obvious as a reaction to being programmed without boundaries or a moral centre (as you would want in a AI maching designed for killing). His narcissistic personality ultimately lead him to the pursuit of excess as defined by his interaction with humans.

Or for short he's a cheeky wee mink.

@Kazukagii: I look forward to reading that essay, and I'm beginning to hope you'll do even more of those. If you make it through all the main characters like this, that's a decent sized book...

--- Quote from: Wiregeek on 15 Dec 2010, 08:05 ---I disagree with the interpretation of strip 33 as posted. If I had a roommate in a similar situation, I would be constitutionally incapable of keeping myself from asking the same question. I would not have sent the roommate on that mission, however, but I would be unable to keep from attempting to profit from it.

My interpretation of that strip is not at all about the question, it is about the answer. It's not the typical "Those are AWSOME" that you would expect from someone who has an opinion, it reads more like a scientific report to me. And this is what I find odd about Pintsize, he has these moments when he's not his usual selfish self.
