Pintsize reminds me of those little yellow aliens from Excel Saga.

Bad Superman:
I was just wondering...
Would Pintsize tampering with Bubbles' sensory input count as violation of the "sanctity of the mind"?

BenRG:
More like the sanctity of the body.

It's sort of like a 'prankster' dropping an LSD or Ecstasy tab in someone's drink at a party. Very disturbing (and potentially quite harmful) for the victim but motivated more by ignorance, stupidity and a perverse sense of humour rather than the directed malice that is required for brainwashing and other types of mental abuse.

--- Quote from: awgiedawgie on 05 Jun 2018, 20:56 ---That's why I put "friends" in quotes. I don't think she actually dislikes any of them - even Faye. She's not that type of person. And she has been made to feel welcome in their "inner circle". But she doesn't spend time with anyone but those select few.

Meh. I wouldn't say friends, with or without quotes. They were pretty mean to her at first, then super patronizing. Like when Dora was like "come on, all you need is a short skirt." or when Dora was like "I've been too busy HAVING A BOYFRIEND" pointedly. As someone with no romantic history, I've had people like that who really liked going for my jugular.

It sucks, but Marigold kind of brings out the shittiness in the other characters. You never knew they were so mean. I sometimes feel the same way. I'm an indicator for assholery. "Nice" people quickly show their true colors around me. Faye and Dora aren't bad people, per se, but they hadn't reached the maturity level required to treat Marigold decently.

And here's the really shitty part--Angus didn't even really like Marigold, and made fun of her too. When he called her a loser shut in or something. That was awful.

Now, with all that said, I think Marigold has a TON of growing and maturing to do herself, and still has many bad habits that I hope dissipate in time. Sure, she has Dale, but she still has a LOT of work to do on herself. I'm not letting her off the hook entirely. She is Jeph's favorite character, so I hope that he comes to to focus on her in time and these necessary changes happen. The time where she started to follow Sam home was pretty strange to me. At least Marigold realized it.

Theta9:
Panel 2 indicates that Bubbles doesn't know a socket wrench from an open-end wrench.
