The tweetfeed at the side of the page suggests Jeph had a bad day at the comic con. And the flight back hardly ever seems to work well for him. It's not unreasonable to suppose we'll see some mutual aid from those who stayed behind for Comfy-Con.

Oh you're right, it says Wigu after all! I must've been confused.

And no, I don't think he has done a guest comic yet. Kinda weird, but then again, he's a busy man.

Gotta admit that I was hoping for a guest strip by Sean Mcginnis of Twisted Kaiju Theatre - Godzilla and Pintsize  would make such a lovely couple.

I can only suppose that he's leading up to something, but a new gag would have been nice.

The whole "pintsize is going to take over and rule humanity" gag was funnier before Jeph confirmed in comic that the sigularity has happened. The AIs have achived the point where they could rule humanity if they wanted to. They just have no interest in doing so. They just want to be part of society, hence Momo's concern over AI rights. Even Pintsize just wants to look at porn and have fun.

Maybe "making the signularity happen" is part of a bigger plan to lull humans into false security thinking that it wasn't so bad and the *REAL* signularity will come later?

All of this talk of destroying humanity has a foothold in the QC canon.  I'm not saying that QC is going to have a robot uprising in 2017, but I'm also not saying it isn't.

I'll say this for Randy Millholland. He has Pintsize's personality NAILED. This is also why Pintsize wouldn't bother taking over the world. Where would he find time for shenanigans? And yeah, I chuckled at this one.

Not really. When Winslow riffs off of Pintsize talking about world domination, Pintsize's response indicates that it's not true ("Okay, now you're just creeping me out."). They've joked about world domination before, but I don't think that's really on the AI agenda.

I was just about to post something along the lines of: "Crikey, don't the guest comic strip writes just love Pintsize!"

I suppose it's because he's the easiest character to make one-off joke strips about.

But I have to say that the main reason I don't get tired of Pintsize is that Jeph doesn't overdo the Pintsize humour.

That's kind of gone out the window now. And now I'm tired of him.

Yeah, I know. Gripe moan whinge blah blah blah. First world problems. Et cetera. I'm over it. Just had to get it off my chest.

Edit: having got over my initial reaction, I probably would have enjoyed the comic a lot more had it appeared earlier. It's probably the best of the recent guest strips.

I quite liked todays guest strip as well. Hell, I could see Pintsize doing something like that to Marten...

That being said, this round of guests hadn't done too bad (OK, Zach's was kind of a let-down, but anyway)
