Method of Madness:
Espresso shots? They're concentrated and often used in other drinks, but they're absolutely drank (drunk?) by themselves.

Jeph has been writing little text strips in his Twitter feed of the adventures of his astonishingly stoic RPG parody character 'Bembo the Barbarian'.

:) yes that would be most welcome! The text only Bembos have added to my understanding of why i appreciate Jeph as a comics author and artist. it is quite difficult to make use of 150 letters or less, and still create something that feels immersive, unpredictable and complete! They do have the magic of text based computer fantasy adventures. Full Bembo comics would be unbelievable!! they seem to bring Jeph's sense of humor in ways that most often leads to this sort of reaction, even in the text only medium!

It's weird seeing him in his old tiny model while everyone else runs around with thumbs.
--- End quote ---
No. Nope. Nada. Noooo way. Uh-uh. NOPE. He's capable of enough mayhem with weird little orb hands and a whole twelve inches of height without giving him something over five feet and with opposable digits.
Neko_Ali:
I kind of doubt Pintsize would want a more human-like chassis, honestly. He gets away with a lot of what he does because he has the chassis he does. Things he wouldn't be able to get away with if he had a more human looking chassis. Human nature being what it is, we expect human like behavior out of things with human appearance. That's why the Uncanny Valley concept exists. And we've seen that the closer to human looking an AI is, the more like a human people will treat them. Perfect example is how Momo was treated in her chibi chassis vs the Idoru one she wears now. Same person, but before she was treated more like a child, and now she is treated more like an older teen/young adult. For more extreme examples, consider how Gordon the spider-bot, Bubbles and Momo are treated.

--- End quote ---
A little late to the discussion on Bembo, but just wanted to point out the author/illustrator of Oglaf is definitely not a dude.
