LOOOOOM!
Also, good to see Pintsize back on his feet.
Darn, I had a script in my head with Claire and Pintsize interacting, but it was too dialogue-heavy and Jeph can't read minds, so we get today's strip instead. Still...
SCENE: Marten's living room. He's left the room, CLAIRE is on the couch. PINTSIZE wanders over.
PINTSIZE: Marten's really into you, you know. I can tell.
CLAIRE: How?
PINTSIZE: Because he's absolutely terrified I'll say something offensive and will NOT. STOP. THREATENING ME with all kinds of punishment if I don't stay on my best behavior. Afraid of losing you, I guess. He was never like this with Dora...
CLAIRE: *blushes*
PINTSIZE: ...But he won't say WHY. Now, I've got a vast collection of porn stored in here-- *taps head* --but you don't show up in any of it...
CLAIRE: Um...
PINTSIZE: ...although there are a few really weird folders I haven't checked yet. Horses, donkeys, pooping catgirls. You want some privacy, I get that, just say the word and I'll delete them, sight unseen. I suppose there are some boundaries I can respect...
CLAIRE: I'm
TRANS.PINTSIZE: Oh. That's it?
CLAIRE: Uh-huh.
PINTSIZE: And Marten thinks I'm going to tease you for
that? Listen, I'm a robot, gender's just streams of coding to me. I may take pride in being crude, but I'm not
completely insensitive. You don't have anything to worry about from me.
CLAIRE: Thanks, Pintsize.
PINTSIZE: But, uh, I don't want Marten to think I'm losing my touch, so feel free to throw me against the wall when he gets back.
CLAIRE: What? No! I wouldn't do
that!PINTSIZE: Oh, good. Thanks.
CLAIRE: *smiles*
PINTSIZE: Still wanna make out?
CLAIRE: *throws Pintsize against the wall*
...And that's why Jeph is the cartoonist and I'm just here on the forums.
