Hopefully there's not another appearance of Yelling Bird Goatse...

Wait, more guest strips?

Omega Entity · « **Reply #4 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 09:28 »

Yep. Instead of a solid week of them, the 5-day 'week' is split up by the weekend.

DSL · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 09:29 »

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.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 09:32 »

I'm actually hoping he got Zach Weiner to do another guest comic.

DSL · « **Reply #7 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 17:44 »

Well, whatever happens, Gabby will look different.

calmcalamity · « **Reply #8 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 18:47 »

who's "Wigi"?

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 18:48 »

I think he meant Wigu; meaning Jeffrey Rowland. I hope that's who he meant cuz that's who I voted for in the poll.

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #11 on:** 15 Jul 2012, 19:30 »

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.

Weird. And without knowing that, meaningless.

Is the timing right? Has that long of a jump happened?

Boomslang · « **Reply #18 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 04:48 »

I now regret being the one guy voting for something from Zach.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #19 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 04:55 »

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.

jwhouk · « **Reply #20 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 06:38 »

For those of you who forgot...

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #21 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 07:30 »

Why did he draw Pintsizes mouth correctly in his first guest strip, but not the second?

Welu · « **Reply #22 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 08:15 »

I knew I'd seen this gag before...

Tova · « **Reply #23 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 15:10 »

I knew I'd seen it before, but I didn't realise that they were both Zach.

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

jwhouk · « **Reply #24 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 15:41 »

Yeah, he's leading up to something in 2017.

Boxilar · « **Reply #25 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 16:32 »

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.

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #26 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 16:35 »

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?

jwhouk · « **Reply #27 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 17:15 »

That, or the AIs figure ruling humanity is too much damned work.

That's what Clinton seemed to suspect.

ASmellyOgre · « **Reply #30 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 22:14 »

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.

Boxilar · « **Reply #31 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 23:05 »

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.

slydon · « **Reply #32 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 23:16 »

For someone who knows ex-cutters, this one strikes me as on the usual S*P borders of "dude, not funny" and "zero fucks given".
I got the banhammer once for jokes about(retard jokes), so I'm not one to preach, but this one made me want JJ back.

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.

pwhodges · « **Reply #34 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 00:03 »

So, four out of five guest strips so far are about Pintsize...

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.

techkid · « **Reply #36 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 03:01 »

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)

jwhouk · « **Reply #37 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 05:38 »

I'm just sad that Choo-choo Bear didn't make an appearance.

I bet he was over at ComfyCon instead.

jwhouk · « **Reply #38 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 05:52 »

Wait... how DOES he play "Navi"?

Also, isn't Pintsize's chasis like, military tough? What Marten is even asking about won't dent Pintsize, right?

pwhodges · « **Reply #44 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 15:00 »

His head was badly dented by Faye, though, and then by Marigold when she was preparing to repair it.

There was a tweet by Marigold to the effect that the military hardware was easy to pop back into the desired shape.
