Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT June 21st - June 25th (4551-4555)
Farideh:
New comic.
Well, that's interesting. We were wondering if Pintsize's new body would cause him to change his behavior, and indeed it has. Which is quite fascinating when you think about it. For an AI, how much of their personality is their programming, and how much their chassis? For humans, how they look influences their behavior. It seems to be the same for AIs.
shanejayell:
One wonders if 'Fullsize' had unknowingly activated a Decorum subroutine when the body switch happened? :-D
Gnabberwocky:
This is a perfect example of why I was so resistant to the original change to Pintsize. It's not just a body swap. He's literally a different character. Pintsize minus Chaos Goblin is...nothing we've seen in the comic before. There have been flashes, but he always goes back to causing trouble.
Maybe "resistant" is the wrong word. I've pretty much gotten used to it. But the point stands: he's not really Pintsize anymore.

True statement. He's basically a smarmier Blue Winslow now.

Maybe that's why Pintsize has changed? If Chaos Goblin is all he is - well, that's pretty one-dimensional, isn't it? Maybe Jeph wants to see if he can portray Pintsize as a more mature, more complete prankster - rather than just "wacky hijinks", pie-in-the-face stuff. In other words, same motivation, just a deeper perspective on the whole prank process.
I foresee a more sophisticated and subtle prankster... :evil:
Speaking of subtle pranksters - has Pintsize ever met Yay?
OTOH, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea...nope, forget that I ever said anything...that's beginning to sound too much like "crossing the streams"....
