I thought “fartclown” was my new favorite word, but, actually, it’s “fartsplaining”.

Janne Peltonen

Barnfartclown?

Sometimes your friends have to verbally smack ya in the face. I needed this too. Thanks assbot, you’re all right every now and then.

awgiedawgie

He's surprisingly insightful for a little perv.

R. Francis Smith

So yeah, this topic is a big deal to me, and resonates with some other folks I guess: <a href="https://twitter.com/rfrancis/status/1023078567494799360" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/rfrancis/status/1023078567494799360</a> Thanks for getting into this in the comic. Seriously.

David Howe

Ah, but with hair conditioner.....

David Howe

If you combine the fartclown and barnfart is that a barnclown?

Philippa

This comic hits pretty close to home. Also, something I've realised lately is how much I love Claire and Pintsize's friendship - although they seem very different personality-wise they're both open-minded and good at helping each other see common sense.

Grace Kieser

We'll find out in six months that Jeph has been subtly increasing her glasses every day. By then they will be the size of dinner plates!

Thomas Halpin

I love this. Also, is there suppoised to be an "i" in that word?

Stoodmuffin

I want to give claire a lot of fucking hugs

Bagge

I think Claire might have overdosed on YA protagonists.

Ben Russell-Gough

Actually, their interactions have been great as far back as the improptu 'wolf urine' presentation a while back!

Ben Russell-Gough

Actually, 'fartclown' makes me think that Pintsize has been spending too much time hanging out with Faye!

William Cole

Remember the barber who collected customers’ hair for an art installation she was planning? Northampton is a burgeoning avant-garde hotspot.

BobC

Are Claire's glasses getting bigger? I think Claire's glasses are getting bigger. Don't you? Aren't they?

Captain Button

Actually, the word is "fartiste". HtH HAND. [/fartsplaining] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane</a>

I remember there was some strip ages ago where Marten said something about his age and he was surprisingly young.

Captain Button

NOW ENDS THE AGE OF MAN.

Ted Van Roekel

Usually involving sexual harassment or fart jokes. BTW, still shipping PintMay. Or MayPint. Whatever.

Ted Van Roekel

Come on, folks. This side of Pintsize is well established in cannon. He only trots it out when needed, but he's actually really good at his job as a companion. He just has.... unconventional methods.

Trigon Manthree

When a fartclown lets one rip in a farm's storage building, that's a barn fart.

Trigon Manthree

You're the second, so far

Pintsize becoming a good guy? What's next? Corpse Witch being rehabilitated and finding work at FartBob's Clown Circus? :P

saved panel 3, printing it on business cards, giving it to my friends when they're having relationship drama

Bruce Steinberg

I wonder if Jeph would consider a storyline of Pintsize becoming a well known conceptual artist. I can see some curators getting really into his work, especially as he's an AI (are there many AI artists?)

Pintsize suddenly becoming the avatar of the readers

Bruce Steinberg

Does this mean it's time to ship the two? DROIDsize?

C Bonesmith

Honestly, that's some of the best advice you can give a grad student. Good job, Pintsize.

Matthew Reiter

I'm surprised to be the first person to mention this, but there's a typo in panel 4: "suppoised".

Trevor Key

Also not a sentence I ever thought I'd type.

Trevor Key

Can I request that the fart circus be involved somehow in the next set of choices for bonus comic?

Will Weaver

The Pintsize-Claire dynamic is a very good one and is probably one of the best ones in the strip. Wait, did I just say that?

Peter McDevitt

Marten should be able to understand since he's been there before. On that note, what exactly is the age difference between them? I think Claire said she was 24 back when she was introduced but who knows how much time has actually PASSED since then. And I don't think anyone else's age has been explicitly stated...

Miyaa

If Melon is able to impart wisdom to, say, Clinton, then I will welcome our robot psychiatric overloads.

VC

Or as some people say “Hey, Assbutt!”

Sarah Walker

As a former thwarted library science major, Claire's struggle resonates. Maybe too hard.

Matt Grayson

I thought Claire understood after the Wolf Urine episode.

You stop abusing wild animals, you have to fill a circus with something. Clowns? Farts? Why not both?

Dean Reilly

It's fine as long as someone opens a window.

Abhayakara

Okay, this was my favorite strip ever.

Shawn K. Younkin

Good job Claire- you actually caused Pintsize to snap.... XD

Mark P.

I've had that conversation with an ex (the "I don't think I'm going to make it, I'm gonna fail..."). The funny thing is, she was already my ex at the time, but we remained friends afterwards. It does help saying it to someone else, even if it's just getting it off your chest.
