On character design

Good point. He's shorter: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2198
So, fathers for the most part are shorter, mothers for the most part are taller.

I have to say that I love the design of Pintsize and Winslow. They're so obviously modern personal computing technology with added arms and legs (and a head, in Pintsize's case). This really makes it obvious for the reader that they're looking at walking, talking sentient home computing technology.

It's interesting how they, as the computer-y looking ones, seem less rounded than the human-looking duo, Momo and May. It could be a case of them being older cast members and their roles and personalities being firmly entrenched in Jeph's mind, or it could be that they're the ones that identify as male, and Jeph seems to write women with more character depth than the men. Marten and Steve seem more or less the same as they always were, except for the addition of Steve Shoulders.

It could also be that Pintsize and Winslow are simply comfortable in their identities. Momo seems much less so and seems to be searching for who she is as a person and her place in the world. P&W don't seem to need that. Plenty of RL humans are exactly the same way.

I agree with this - Remember Momo's angsty little conversation with Marten about how some religions view sentient AIs? She's got a lot of uncertainties about herself. This is one of the reasons why I think Jeph is setting up a double-act with May of two little robots looking for their place in the world.
