It might also be something on the line that since her father was a major player in the creation of AIs that he may have either instilled a 'play nice' circuit in his creations or that Pintsize fears what 'God' might do to him if he hurts Hannelore. Also Pintsize seems to try to avoid being overtly malicious, there was one comic where he kept trying to come up with something to do to Hannelore and it ended up getting more and more grotesque to the point where Winslow told him to just let it go and try again another day.

He's a computer. Computers do not show emotion; anytime the robots emulate human emotion it is artificial.

The latest comic's little nudge nudge wink wink to Douglas Adams mad me happy. Really happy. Happy in a way that only a defragged sex robot and a purple squid can.
