Today's strip is quite simple really: It reminds us that Pintsize's stunts are nowhere near as spontaneous as they seem. He spends time, effort and resources planning them out and making sure harm is controlled and limited. So, this is more or less how a synthetic class clown plies their trade!
There’s an obvious solution. Remove the wrappers from the condoms.What if they're lubricated?
Maybe this has been answered before, but where does Pintsize stow all this stuff? Bubbles may not need much closet space, but three humans, two of which are female, likely do.
What if they're lubricated?I'm pretty sure the lubricant won't cause any wounds. Cover the targets in greasy stuff, yeah, but that's probably a feature as far as Pintsize is concerned.

His closet is a tesseract.
New strip up.I didn't know the cookies were "special" and broke out in hives.
I actually tried edibles over the Holidays... made me very mellow, but that's it.

That's not Dora.Crap, is that Emily? D'oh.
If you REALLY wanna confuse yourself, go look at the first strips. *lol*Faye and Steve are not remotely recognizable in those early strips. Martin is, though.
Yeah, I still get confused with the changing appearances of Dora et al.
The clue to Emily's identity was in the fact that she started discussing computational linguistics, though. So, you were right... up to a point. 8-)
Maybe this is why some are confusing her with Dora.
I had no idea what a Theremin was, hence that didn’t register. The only electronic instrument I knew by name was the Moog.

From the same era, Dora and Emily in the same panel:

Not difficult at all to tell apart, back then. Hair and eyes primarily. Height too, but height's not always obvious in a comic. Unless we're talking at the ends of the curve, like Claire or Elliot.
Also, in looking back a bit from that strip to get context, I fell down a rabbit hole of revisiting old strips. I don't know if that happens to anyone else.
So, were Theremins on sale and everyone is having a hard time what is a suitable gift for someone who has just received heir Masters Degree in Library Science? Maybe Claire will have an angst attack to Marten about how she's never really had a clear hobby before and tries to find one?
Hah, Clinton, a clue?So, were Theremins on sale and everyone is having a hard time what is a suitable gift for someone who has just received heir Masters Degree in Library Science?

You would think Claire's own brother would have some kind of clue of what to get her. Emily is being Emily. Hannelore, I can't explain in any way, shape, or form...unless she thinks Deathmole could use another member.
And Claire has a hobby. Meddling.
Meanwhile the staff at A2Z Toys is wondering why their entire stock of theremins sold out in one day.Sure it wasn't Theramins-R-Us? They are a nationwide chain, with stores in every large city.
Not sure if this is a joke, is that a Canadian chain?Meanwhile the staff at A2Z Toys is wondering why their entire stock of theremins sold out in one day.Sure it wasn't Theramins-R-Us? They are a nationwide chain, with stores in every large city.

I just recently fell back down the SCP Foundation rabbit hole, and i can easily see one of the entries being:
"SCP-5137 is the designation given to a phenomenon where, during [REDACTED], everyone purchased a theremin kit at the exact same time."

I don't know. Do you think that Jeph could lay on the foreshadowing a major change in the cast any more plainly? Maybe have a conversation between Marten, Faye and Dora at a bus station after the party? :wink:
Okay, so for some reason everyone is looking at Claire and thinking 'theremin'. I just want to know why, okay?
I don't know. Do you think that Jeph could lay on the foreshadowing a major change in the cast any more plainly?Seems unlikely.
..., it would mean removing Pintsize, and Pintsize is Jeph's outlet for certain types of jokes that he really, really enjoys.Marten could give Pintsize to Clinton, since Marten doesn't really *need* Pintsize anymore. That sets up a reunion when Marten and Claire get married and Pintsize has to prank the wedding... <evil chuckle>

Jeph's not going to remove Marten. While the strip may no longer orbit around him, it would mean removing Pintsize, and Pintsize is Jeph's outlet for certain types of jokes that he really, really enjoys.
Claire is possible, but highly unlikely. Too many connections to other characters, including Marten. It would also destroy his example of a trans / hetero relationship working out just fine. I'm pretty sure he's sensitive to that.
Any other character would be completely arbitrary and unrelated to the specifics of the concern Faye voiced.
For some reason I really like seeing Bubbles in that T-shirt.

Last time someone said that, the question was raised of how she even fits into it! But it may not be the actual same one as Faye's original, I suppose.

On the basis of that rationale, he ought to have wrapped a long time ago.He could do a spin-off series.
