ONE. HUNDRED. PINTZZAIZES.
Darnel D Cooper
And yet I was not even surprised,.....
legobil
I really don’t think it’s fair to put the the visions the AI seem to get from sniffing tea next to hallucinations a human gets from LSD.
Not that Patrick Foltz
Heeeellllooooo square speech bubbles! Totally an AI.
BookBeard
Actually I'm pretty sure the partial line in panel 2 is her collarbone. It is visible separately from the neck seam in panel 3.
alphanor
If you enlarge the comic, you can see portions of the seam, but it's not continuous in that frame.
BookBeard
Presumably Sam is still operating out of their shop, although the last time we saw her doing a spray was before the time skip, so at least a few months in-universe. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4702
ValdVin
No, it's not just you. I'm splitting the difference and figuring she's an AI.
alphanor
Samantha Beam (Marten's sort of step sister) does sprays (drawings with markers on the robots) using Faye and Bubbles' shop as her base.
Not that Patrick Foltz
There iiis a greater than 0 chance we get to keep one.
Not that Patrick Foltz
@Joe I yes there are 'visions' but the AIs sniffing tea for that experience all have their eyes closed and the visions are in their head. @legobil is correct and saying there are less side effects. Muuuuuch less. Trust me.
Green
How is that similar to ordering 100 pizzas to a club
Joe
that's not hard. just get a dui.
Joe
@legobil I seem to recall hallucinations at one point. @bookbeard any help??
Lucas Werkmeister
Is it just me or is the security lady missing her neck seam in panel 2? (It's there in panels 1 and 3.)
Gino Arizmendi
Does anyone remember when in the story Faye and Friend had a little girl who would tattoo at their shop? This is a long time ago, but I fell off then.
will davison
Emmett will inexplicably appear in this scene; I’m calling it.
William Cole
I think she looks like what would happen if Dora and Tall May had a kid.
Hugh Eckert
Also consider Evanescent Incinerator
Hugh Eckert
Once I had a "Bagel and lox" pizza. Served cold. Weird.
allanfranta
Always want pizza, enchantedsleeper.
allanfranta
Seriously, no one is really prepared to be a dad. Try as you might, the little ones will stump and surprise you.
Mark
It thought that she _was_ Even at first glance.
David Paul
I assume their R&D group should have added re-entry parachutes by now: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3048
Stephen Wells
Is Strong Security Lady a crechemate of Evan? :)
legobil
Well, less side effect. I think.
James Anthony
TBF, it's like a cross between a beer and a tab of LSD for her
enchantedsleeper
I think it would be more interesting for Pintsize to have a character arc that's not tied to whatever Marten is doing. He has a life in Northampton, so I don't think he really wants to move.
enchantedsleeper
I want pizza now...
enchantedsleeper
Opposites attract, ergo Liz should bang Evie (and/or Moray). But Liz and Pintsize can be friends xD
Huw Morgan
Oh good, another hot character to fawn over. (Security guard)
Bagge
Board him up!
legobil
I love that Bubbles continue to wander the club with a cup of tea.
AlexKorobeiniki
Oh dear, I had forgotten about that. Though if that had been the case I’m pretty sure the building would have structural damage
Leak
Was it orbital pizza delivery?
Leak
So is Pintsize, right here...
Matthew Delahaye
Yeah, Boston pizza is an overpriced sit down chain, it's not really the kind of place people usually get takeout pizza from. Honestly I don't see most people get pizza there at all, funny enough.
Mitsuki Ayane
oh man, what would pizza smell be like for an AI? heaven, I assume heaven. ~<3
William Cole
It's a shame Liz & Pintsize don't seem very interested in each other. They have a lot in common, starting with their effect on security personnel.
Clifton Royston
@Sarah Valentine Thanks for putting that so nicely, I think that sums up how most of us feel. I've got a pretty good memory, but I'm still awed by Bookbeard.
Chauncey
I’m either getting angry robot lady, or I’m getting Crushbot. Either way, they’ll probably break something. AIs, even ones with a human standard chassis, are significantly heavier than a human of similar size.
Fart Captor
These background characters are all much too cute I wanna keep them
Clifton Royston
You would do well to be very specific about *which* security you want to step on you.
Not that Patrick Foltz
Does not look like Pizza Girl to me, more like the LaLeLuLeLo fairy person as a not fairy. Also I don't believe that to be a neck seam in panel one, but rather an undershirt of some kind that just dissappears in panel three because they aren't anyone and it wasn't important to get the shirt just right. They will reappear 10 strips from now as a new character.
Not that Patrick Foltz
@BookBeard A natural born talent
Not that Patrick Foltz
@BookBeard OMG bookmarks! duh, why do I rely upon my memory? I could even tag my bookmarks! This changes everything! I was going to write some database software for fun but why reinvent the wheel here. Also The books are great for the first half of the comics. (Hint hint Jeph print another 6 books and take my money already!) You can skim through the books really quick to find something.
Joseph McGrath
Thanks! I enjoyed replaying that portion of the comic. I kept hitting next... <3
Sean Kinlin
Hmm. Moray could go around telling people she's the FSM. She doesn't look noodly, but people will make their assumptions about what it stands for.
Graydon Armstrong
So that's why they're so upset; they had 32767 pizzas taken from them.
Graydon Armstrong
Wow, Claire had really long hair back then.
Maurice Kessler
Poor Marten wasn't necessarily prepared to be a dad, but he's become a dad.
Graydon Armstrong
Because some people can resist being goblins? It usually has better results anyway.
Green
I have no choice but to assume he did something similar to get himself banned from Canada
BookBeard
It caused a lot of confusion because "Prince Albert in a Can" is one of the most popular imported beers at the bar.
Chauncey
Can security step on me? For scientific reasons, of course 🥵
AlexKorobeiniki
Oh dear, I had forgotten about that. Though if that had been the case I’m pretty sure the building would have structural damage
Yelling Bird
There is no such thing as too much pizza.
Zig Justice
The bet was that he couldn't resist the urge to order 100 pizzas to be delivered to the club
Kurist Zero
That is a brilliant pickup BookBeard!
BookBeard
Not really. I use the wiki a bit and I've got a few bookmark folders of major events, particular favorites, etc. but other than that I'm just working from memory.
BookBeard
The problem isn't that he ordered the pizzas, it's *how* he ordered them. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3047
Populuxe
Plot twist: he lost the bet to Yay.
Alex Burka
That seems unlikely but the security person might've meant 0x100 pizzas
Alex Burka
Do you have any tricks for searching through the archive? I know there's a wiki with transcripts of early comics but it dropped off IIRC
Grace Kieser
Pintsize is not allowed in Canada. He would be turned back at the border
BookBeard
Perhaps it's a robotic Pizza Girl decoy that Penelope created to throw people off the scent of her secret identity.
Melissa Wilson
How is anyone in that club doing anything but going “awooga” (like Tex Avery’s wolf) at Bubbles?
BookBeard
My pleasure
AlexKorobeiniki
Well no that makes it much easier. We’ve seen what robots do with sustenance they can’t consume. They don’t make a huge mess of it (well, melon and punchbot do, but they’re perfect). I figure they’d confirm the bet was completed and then throw them away or give them away.
Andrea Andrew
Not even Hutt the Pizza?
Hakurei06
100 pizzas would have been overkill for a human-oriented club, this one is for robots; even if it’s not exclusive, *most* of the patrons aren’t going to have a digestive tract. I guess they could donate them to the homeless?
Sarah Valentine
Or maybe, Pizza Girl has been an AI all along and she's just good at hiding the neck seam while in costume! ...Probably what you said, though :p
BookBeard
Moray reports on her trip to the Director and he decides that Pintsize is a perfect recruit for the wacky hijinks research group. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4968
Todd Ellner
No. He called out at the club to get a Prince Albert out of HIS can. In the middle of the dance floor
Sarah Valentine
Completely unrelated, but I wanted to thank you for the old comic references that you put in so many of these comment sections (and I can't remember if I've done before). The jokes you include with them are great, but also it helps me remember the comic better since it's been going so long and my memory is so shite. One of these days I'll do a full re-read, but until then, it's nice to have a link here or there that reminds me of some goofy/relevant moment from the past of one of my favorite webcomics. So thank you for refreshing the memories <3 (Sorry if this is a bit sappy and outta nowhere, just kinda in that mood tonight)
AlexKorobeiniki
Not the worst way to do it, honestly, and it’d be interesting to see pintsize get something approaching a character arc. Yes, him getting a body was a huge change, but it wasn’t necessarily an arc. More like the initial earthquake that sets up a later rockslide.
Miyaa
Good to know not to order from Boston Pizza the next time I’m in Canada.
Miyaa
It’ll be something like raw salmon and bay leaf, which my uncle on my mom’s side – her twin brother – ordered for the family the first day of our three month trip to Thailand, where my mom is from.
AlexKorobeiniki
I mean… as long as he paid for them, then he hasn’t really done anything wrong, I suppose. I completely understand why the club would be upset, though. That is quite a random event to have to deal with.
Miyaa
I think this is more likely is just Pintsize being Pintsize.
Eric Fisher
Nobody out-pizzas the butt
Ron Hamann
Anyone else wonder if Pintsize getting his flirt on so hard is Jeph’s way of getting him to move with Marten?
ValdVin
You think he's got enough Canadian Tire money to buy a hundred pizzas?
BobC
I'd bet there's lots of gamboling in that club, depending on what the DJ's playing.
BookBeard
As consequences from losing a bet go, Bubbles has seen far worse. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4698
Matthew Delahaye
Ok, what do we think the toppings were on these pizzas? I'm gonna open with anchovies, pineapple and green olives.
Matthew Delahaye
I mean, actually ordering pizza from Boston Pizza would be bizarre enough behaviour that I would 100% believe it of Pintsize.
Skye
Looks like word of Dora's tea has spread
Dean Reilly
I love Bubbles' teacup and saucer.
Diane
If you look closely it looks like there's a seam at her neck, probably someone else and an ai
Bob Kuykendall
Are we sure it wasn't 32768 pizzas?
Mr. Ifrit
Is that pizza girl?
Miyaa
Ooh, I bet he didn’t go with Boston Pizza or Pizza 99 and THAT’S why he’s banned in Canada.
Logan Nix
Just don't lose bets. Skill issue
ValdVin
Eh, he's been more benign. Yesterday he called the club and told them to let Prince Albert out of the can.
Rich Holmes
You haven't seen the description of the pizzas yet.
Tannerbot
Dude is a menace, no matter where he goes.
Matt Grayson
Sorry, security lady, Elliot is taken.
Bill Silvia
Depends on who had to pay for it. His cake shenanigans were messy but cheap.
Jose Alfredo Villalobos
Well... we know he's good for it.
Mika Ears
Pintsize is in trouble. Nature is healing.
Scarlet Shepard
Honestly, of all the reasons Pintsize could get barred from a club, I'm actually quite impressed that it's this benign. Could've been worse.
Doc Gumby
It was only a matter of time.
