Jeph really loves butts (can you blame him?)
Method of Madness:
Oh, if that sounded like criticism, it wasn't.
tomveil:
I think Jeph is reconsidering some of the choices he made with AI bodies when the strip began. Jeph has said that the introduction of Momo forced him to really think deeply for the first time about the social and societal implications of human-equal AI. When the strip began, Pintsize and later Winslow were more like super intelligent dogs: they noticed that they were physically dependent on humans, but they didn't resent it. Now that it's clear that AI have real hopes and dreams and inner lives, well, some are going to conclude that they need physical independence, not because they want to leave their humans, but because their sense of self respect calls for it.

Don't worry, I definitely did not take it that way, I'm sorry if my statement read as criticism of your statement :wink:, QC is a dramedy (not to be confused with a dromedary), we need the jokes and the deeper insights and examinations, and even at times when it seems like the jokes may detract from the drama (perhaps the Faye's dad's suicide revelation?) making light of the heavy is a coping mechanism and human nature.
And tomveil, I think you're right. Pintsize and anthro-pcs seem like they were introduced as a quirky joke, Jeph had no way of knowing how far he would want to go with it in the future.
Undrneath:
Winslow's prospective new chassis does look a little like Ardent.
