ThePerilsOfDan:
I was digging Sam's choice of reading material and wonder if those 4" D-ring binders on the bottom shelf are her own field work results.  Jeph's comment about enjoying backgrounds in Manga Studio prompted me to take a closer look.

One question, I keep hearing something about a time skip and I am confused.  I've been reading this toon for a couple years now and I don't know what are they talking about and could use some enlightenment.

At the start of this year, the strip skipped over the events of about 3-6 months in-universe. We have gone from the beginning of fall to possibly the beginning of winter or even later in the course of just one strip.

Morituri:
I'm writing off pintsize's original non-mobile chassis as a compromise between

"severely problematic underdeveloped personality and exposing him to humans is probably a risk to reputation and goodwill"

and

"nevertheless applied for companion duty and for unknown reasons, scored a match with a particular human (DEAR GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT BOY?!)"

And of course it turns out that the match was spurious because Gordon was freaking Marten the hell out, but it got Pintsize out of virtuality regardless.

comicalArchitect:
Regarding the term "robot": I see it as almost like "colored". Not quite overtly offensive, but still antiquated enough that humans shouldn't use it.

Any evidence for that being the case in-universe?
