He is a companion AnthroPC. He presumably went through a complex selection process to make sure he was suitable for the companion program. As we've seen, the matching process Marten went through was badly skewed due to the AI's spider chassis freaking him the fuck out. Pintsize is a poor match for Marten, but that's never meant he's been a poor companion. His acting out has gotten Marten to get out of his shell a little bit and starting a chain effect that has resulted in the Marten we have now.
And bear in mind that Pintsize is insightful. Its just usually hidden in vulgar jokes or wacky antics.

Great, now you've got me wondering what kind of person Pintsize was considered a 'suitable companion' for ... :x

... the invoice for the cost of the brain-bleach will be mailed to your address, as per usual.

Additionally, don't forget that no complex sapient mind is static in its nature. Pintsize has been with Marten for a while. So, no matter his skill-set and suitability when he first started, one imagines that he has adapted to Marten's way of thinking and how best to help him.

Honestly, I would say someone like Claire, someone who had high levels of anxiety, self doubt and very little confidence. Because that's what the test read in Marten when he signed up for the companion program. Beyond his first meeting with Claire, look at how Pintsize acts around her. Mischievous? Yes, but also able to connect with her that cuts through a lot of the barriers her past has built up. Pintsize is always going to be a trickster mentor archetype, but it seems its Claire with whom he can connect to where she instantly listens.
Something to consider.

Comic’s up.
All right, it’s clear that Marten screwed up, but I think Claire is a bit out of line here too.

Yeah Claires not making this any easier for Marten is she, those first two panels especially, Martens really having to work hard here.
A lot of the times when I'm talking to my wife she'll zone me out (basically ignore), this normally happens when I get home from work because I'm essentially venting but sometimes she won't listen when I actually have something to say but thats on me for not letting her know when she needs to listen because shes so used to me just usually wanting to vent
Hopefully they'll both learn something from this
