[Is it cold in here?]

How does Momo spend her free time, anyway?

Wouldn't a librarian know how much porn was on the Internet? At least if she were a computer herself?

[Method of Madness]

She spends at least some of her free time with her friends. She just went to a party. Also, I don't think anyone really knows just how much porn is on the internet. Most librarians would probably just say "a lot".

[Is it cold in here?]

How Pintsize spends free time.

[Soulsynger]

First petabytes, then exabytes, then zettabytes, the yottabytes.

See This Site.

Then hellabytes (not SI-recognized).

Also this if anyone needs an easy way to remember the units.

@comic:
Pintsize's search for ALL the porn is like Hubble trying to see beyond the boundaries of the expanding universe. It just can't be done. It's like a flat surface the ends of which always expand at a faster rate than you can catch up to.
Philosophically speaking, Pintsize is Sysiphos on an endlessly growing mountain.
... his only solace is the object of his fateful endeavor: Teh pr0n!

[de_la_Nae]

Then lottabytes?

[Is it cold in here?]

Then there was Hannelore trying to find all the cute animal pictures on the web.

[mustang6172]

Isn't Momo supposed to have an eliptical speech box now like the human characters?

[Pilchard123]

First petabytes, then exabytes, then zettabytes, the yottabytes.

See This Site.

Does permanent storage use decimal prefixes or binary? I can never remember...

[pwhodges]

Disk manufacturers use decimal units (GB, TB) whereas informal usage prefers binary units (which should be but still aren't called GiB, TiB)  This is why the disk capacity comes up smaller than you though it would when you bought it (this is partly down to formatting, as well, but the discrepancy is getting bigger as sizes rise).

[Akima]

Pintsize's search for ALL the porn is like Hubble trying to see beyond the boundaries of the expanding universe. It just can't be done.

Or trying to measure the length of the boundary of the Mandelbrot Set. Leaving aside the sheer quantity of porn, there is the philosophical issue of defining porn, and the subjectivity of the judgement. To a shoe-fetishist, a photo of a highly polished stiletto pump is porn.

I also think Akima's name for the Inviso-Flyer should be canon, or at least adopted by the forum. On the second alternative, I so move.

Thank you! I was just trying to bring some Culture to the forum...

[Carl-E]

We've had quite enough of cultures growing around here, thankyouverymuch! 


I mean, look at yesterday's eggs...

Oh god, I love it so much! I yelped.

Um. Hm. Well, okay then, since I think i'm the only one here this second...

[Carl-E]

Kitty's fat enough. 



Oh, you mean the pun jar?   

[Drops in "Nixon Now" button]

[techkid]

On today's strip, considering some of the things people are capable of in the name of "love" (read (quite literally and appropriately): getting their freak on), would it be possible to mortify Pintsize?

[bhtooefr]

Yes.

By simply saying "QWERTY".

[LordVaughn]

Of all the characters whose text I tend to read and hear a mental voice for, Pintsize is the only one whose voice switches from comic to comic.

[Soulsynger]

Hm... I was rummaging through the comic just now, stumbled upon this particular strip and started wondering... anybody know if or when any o' that might be happening? oO

[Carl-E]

It was winter then, and it's late summer now (new interns, lake house party), so I'm guessing no - but is anyone else more aware of comic time?  Has it just been a few months, or over a year? 

[DSL]

Rubbing an egg against Hannelore to color it may not be the strangest thing Emily has ever done.

... or even the strangest thing that's ever happened to Hannelore.

... even in a 'verse where popping off for your dad's birthday party in orbit is just a thing, y'know?

[pwhodges]

Hm... I was rummaging through the comic just now, stumbled upon this particular strip and started wondering... anybody know if or when any o' that might be happening? oO

Jeph made it pretty clear that he has no intention of actually depicting any wedding.  That was then of course...

[Mr_Rose]

Back to cutlery etiquette for a moment; what if one is presented with a spife and a knork? Which goes in which hand and, critically, is it correct to retain either for the next course?

[ink slinger]

I get a delightful Calvin & Hobbes-esque vibe from Pintsize in the final panel of today's comic (if Calvin were a pervert, I suppose).

[DSL]

You know, we're neglecting serving etiquette here.

Is it proper to hold the Fighting Spoon in the right hand while using the Battle Spatula to lop off the guest's arm? And do you fill the WTF Cup with the War Ladle from the guest's left or right, or simply jump screaming to the center of the table?

This, of course, assumes an informal setting. In a formal setting, especially in alternate space-time continuua, the espressosaurus, properly polished, is de rigueur.

[Carl-E]

Center of the table, of course.  Aside from the element o surprise, it maximizes reach nd speed of service. 


And now that the thread has devolved into maximum ridiculosity territory, the espressosaurus needs a monocle and top hat. 

[DSL]

Well, of course.

We dress for dinner in these here parts, friend.

[Method of Madness]

Dress for dinner? Dinner better be excellent if people are expected to put on clothes.

[Toe]

If it hasn't been said already, Pintsize must never find out about Claire....

[Caspian Sea Monster]

It's been said.  A lot.  And probably still needs to be.

[Soulsynger]

[ ... ]

Whew... that's good to know. Because in Sowjet Russia, dinner dresses for YOU.

[Game and Watch Forever]

If it hasn't been said already, Pintsize must never find out about Claire....

You know, anything that comes out of Pintsize's mouth on the subject would probably be so ridiculous, it would result in either a really embarrased Claire chucking him hard across the room or Clinton delivering a metal punch heard 'round the world. And that's assuming the rest of the cast doesn't react first. The little guy probably wouldn't get more than 10% of what's on his mind out there.

[Method of Madness]

Actually, considering what Pintsize has seen? He might not think it's strange or even notable!

[Caspian Sea Monster]

The question isn't whether or not he'd be surprised (most likely not,) it's whether or not he'd use the information to mess with other people (most likely yes.)

[Bluesummers]

or Clinton delivering a metal punch heard 'round the world.

Taking into account that Marigold can dent his head bare-fisted, I'd really like to see Clinton enraged. XD

In the world of theatre its Don't Dress for Dinner!

[Renewman]

LOL Pintsize once again solidifying his spot as the funniest member of QC. 

[K1dmor]

so I'm guessing no - but is anyone else more aware of comic time?  Has it just been a few months, or over a year?

Less than a year.

 We didn't see two birthdays of the same person.

[Method of Madness]

We don't know that. A time jump could've missed a birthday, or maybe they just didn't mention it.

[Is it cold in here?]

Dora was 26 when the comic started, she's a year younger than Sven, and Sven is now 28.

[Method of Madness]

What comic was Sven declared to be 28?  Also, awww.  Damn, Pintsize really does care

[K1dmor]

 He is not Pintsize! But his evil good twin! 

[Method of Madness]

That would explain his lack of a goatee...

[MillionDollar Belt Sander]

I had no idea our favorite walking obcenity-repository was capable of such sensitivity/profound insight. 

Kudos to the mysterious Jeph, who entertains us all!

[iduguphergrave]

Pintsize was his only friend for two years?? That must have been one hell of a depression he was in after the whole Vicki episode.

[MillionDollar Belt Sander]

Pintsize was his only friend for two years?? That must have been one hell of a depression he was in after the whole Vicki episode.

On your own, in a new city/town with NO friends and NO support group... this kind of isolation can and does happen.   It's why I hate moving.

I've been here 18 months now and I'm just now getting to know my neighbors.

[elionbel]

Pintsize is like an onion!

Onions have layers. Pintsize has layers. Onions have layers.

[Is it cold in here?]

Sven's age.

My turn to ask about the archives. I have a dim, dim memory of Pintsize saying something insightful or thoughtful once. Real, or did I dream it?

[MillionDollar Belt Sander]

He also gave Faye a sum of money he raised.

[manu]

My mind is blown. If you think about it Pintsize is the most and this is bizarre to say, emotionally mature character in Marten's life. This may be hard for some people to relate to but when I have that one best friend that describes Marten and Pintsize's relationship I get codependent of them. It becomes hard for me to accept the fact that person might get a social life outside of me. Pintsize's message is profound because I'm going through one of those crisis of losing a friend to his larger social circle again and I was thinking negative thoughts about how they were betraying me.

I love it that my much needed wake up call came from everyone favorite goatse machine.

[2ndSequence]

I could use a Pintsize right about now, minus the crazy cartoon antics. The Porn I'll keep.
