I think that's where Jeph is heading. Messing any other character's maturity level will break the character, but at 12 Sam is supposed to be changing. Dynamic characters are always more interesting if also more difficult to write.
And Uncle Punchbot seems to like her. The stuffy professional with the quintessential boring day job who engages in illegal fighting exhibitions at night would make a great mentor for her!
Tova:
I'm getting the impression that Sam's behaviour really bothers you.
BLT with rings:
Actually, I'm bugged by Jeph's caricaturing what should be a normal twelve year old girl as a three year old idiot.
Besides, I think the characters joining together to help enlighten Sam is a story line that would be well worth exploring!
Edit:
No! No! Wait! Wait! I've got it!
Sam had a tragic accident as a little child and had to have a robotic hysterectomy! All her girlie parts have been replaced by robotic parts! She can't get pregnant or have children, but her robotic girlie parts give her preternatural powers to be disclosed at a later date! Of course abilities greater than usual must be offset by other abilities less than usual, which explains why Sam is such a doofus.
I'm sure Jeph can go to town on a premise like this!
shanejayell:
I'm OK with Sam. She's no more exaggerated than several other characters in the series...
Liked the new comic. You would think they could at least attach a 'loaner' arm to replace the wrecked one.
hedgie:
I also suspect that this poster shan't last very long here.
