Huh, and there was me thinking that Pitsize's origin was that someone (perhaps Marten or one of his parents) went to a store and bought the little fecker.

Actually, I have a feeling it may be the other way round... Pintsize has been around for seven years, after all. And the company behind this cute PC calls themselves young on their webpage. However, I didn't succeed in verifying this...

Oh no. It's all making sense now. The sf elements in QC are because Hannerdad will open a time portal sometime upwhen from us with its downwhen locus in the past of the QC universe. The QC people will get the, um, benefit of our future AnthroPC technology.

Hannerdad is one of Asimov's "Eternals"?

I hold to my old idea that Pintsize was a save pennies purchase, in fact some of my idea might even be validated in this..though then again maybe not.

That would explain why he's such a low end model.

I've always figured that QC took place in the present, but with several major differences in the QCverse's past, like the existence of Hannelore's dad. (Think of it like Watchmen, in that universe by 1985 they had free unlimited energy)

No, Madness had it right. But I thought about it some more, and I'm not ready to change out of the dinner jacket and bow tie.

I'll change if you do.

Yeah, well...

He also died of cancer at the age of 57.

Nine years before the first surgeon general's warning came out.

[sigh] time to change. I can't look at an avatar that depresses me.

Damn it, I didn't think you actually would. Now I have to change because I stupidly said I would.

Modifier: Then again, this fits more with my name, I suppose (although Pintsize always was more madness than method)

wasn't Pintsize some kind of military prototype that was accidentally stocked on some department store shelf?

it's been years so my memory is foggy

Pintsize was originally a stock 8600 but had his chassis replaced by an accidentally purchased military M-31. Details and links to relevant comics on the wiki.
