jwhouk:
I have this bad feeling that Marten doesn’t know yet, either.
Farideh:
That is a good point, since Marten was always against Pintsize getting a more human-standard chassis. Then again, Pintsize didn't want to upgrade either, so what changed? Is he just messing with people (of course he is, it's his raison d'etre)?
Baz_Yat:
I don't like Pintsize's new body.
It's not pintsize.
WAYF:
So, if I have this right,
* I am assuming this is a permanent change, though it looks so much like a comedy bit that some people mistook it for a guest comic on first glance.
* Companion AIs no longer need lengthy consultations with their owners ... whose status as owners is incidentally becoming increasingly suspect with every passing comic... before purchasing a new body.
* Pintsize is unaccountably rich enough to afford a new chassis (if Marigold needed an extended repayment plan from Momo then I'm sure Marten wouldn't be able to afford it)
* "Pintsize" is a rather unfortunate name for an AI to have given the rapid development of AI chassises(?) from actually pint-sized to fully human-standard
* Yet another huge development for a character happens offscreen and we the audience are informed about it after the fact.
So, with all that in mind, I guess his name is Fullsize now. I wonder if the huge metal dong he commissioned from Faye is going to attach to the new chassis somehow, or whether we're not coming back to that arc anymore.
DaiJB:
WHAT
The moment Claire said "Morning Pintsize", I had that momentary brain-lurching-sideways-in-my-head sensation that I have grown accustomed to associating with major paradigm shifts :psyduck:
(At first I thought it was going to be Claire's dream, with her waking up in a cold sweat in the last panel :-D)
From Pintsize's new appearance, I deduce:
Small-to-average stature, so on a par with Winslow and Momo,
Lots of visible seams, so not an upmarket model (Blue and cheap - maybe the same model line as Old May?)
Also Pintsize must have kept the same voice - for sleepy Claire to have responded like that with eyes closed, she must have recognized his voice.
So - instead of a horrible little goblin, we now have a more Puck-like character?
Also, I put "Other": Pintsize discovered that his non-standard military spec chassis is actually worth enough money to buy a reasonably priced humanoid body. Bubbles seems to be familiar with the situation, so I suspect it may have been reconditioned at Union Robotics.
