That fits the facts seen, the "paws" around the plant and the Big Evil Grin...
but... when have we ever seen Pintsize with an interest in doing unspeakable things to plants?
I have to say: The "direction" in this strip - the sequence of scenes - is outstanding. Highly cinematic. So many comics rely on characters in the same position from one frame to the next, relying just on dialog. Though that is sometimes part of the joke in a way. This sort of varying of "camera angles" though is one of the things that makes QC so good.

With that edit, the question answers itself. :evil:

It's interesting. I wonder if this is a parenting tactic.

You bet.
If you're cool with virtually everything, the kid will come talk to you about almost anything, which helps head off small problems before they become big problems. Also, if you're cool with almost everything, you send a YUUGE signal when you *aren't* cool with something.

Just be sure that the kids know that there are still boundaries/structure, even if those are loose, so you don't wind up with the sort of kid who's constantly acting out (such a weird phrase) because they don't have any.

The plant is Arthur, and Bubbles is dedicated to looking after it - therefore Pintsize would be squaring up against Bubbles if he so much as touched it (which might have been his intention). Faye certainly saved him...
Gyrre:
A daring derelict deigns to destroy, but a pugnacious peach preemptively prevents the painful and probably permanent punishment of the pintsized pervert.
