Honestly, the “elf” is the worst. Literally no redeeming qualities. Even in a comic filled with sociopaths, she’s just completely unempathetic and obnoxious. INCLUDING GYROGNOME AND KEITH
Nah, Gyrognome is worse. He would intentionally keep quiet, chuckle to himself, and then get aggressive later when you confronted him about it. The elf is a little standoffish, but at least she interrupted GG’s poor detective work with the right information. She’s still adjusting.
Agreed, the little witch is a freakink monster in her own right,
wanting to take over the world with Take-away laced with cocain is a pretty good sign you’re a villain at heart.
You know, I don’t really get the hate for tinkerbell. She strikes me as a little A.D.D. most of the time, but on average she’s been surprisingly helpful.
“Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
“Well, The first part, definitely. The rest will depend on what I’m asked.”
That was done more darkly and probably long before that in an old comic where a black soldier was framed for a crime so three officers decided to test an experimental truth serum on him. They found he spoke the complete truth about anything that they asked, then started thinking how they could exploit him to their profit. He then pointed out various crimes that they committed and how they’d have no choice but to kill him to cover them up then broke out and made a run for it before they gunned him down. Except even his blood had to tell the truth as he bled ‘The Army Murdered Me’ on the sidewalk.
A particularly apt comparison since she’s just conveying a bunch of information that she’s been reading from what the computer spits out at her. Now that I think of that, I almost want to imagine her as being voiced by Majel Barret-Roddenberry…
Though it’s worth noting that, as she’s only doing this much to avoid getting kicked out of the house (or motivating somebody to buy a heavy duty flyswatter) and is willfully not even bothering to attempt to actually assist beyond serving as a voice interface for the computer.

Well she is basically being held hostage by the LOSRH’s, and they refuse to learn her name.
How do you imagine that redemption works?

I’m beginning to suspect that the two light-purple bits of hair framing her forehead are actually devil horns. ;-)
She’s a fae. They have to tell the truth, yes, but they don’t necessarily have to be honest, or helpful.
Imagine her in the witness stand.
“Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
“Well, The first part, definitely. The rest will depend on what I’m asked.”
Imagine telling the whole truth in the witness stand: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth …”
That happened to a character in So Long and Thanks for all the Fish, after he’dOd’d on a truth serum and was put on the witness stand,

Tink is basically google: if you click on the first thing you see without scrolling down, you’re going to have to go back and forth a few times.

In the “Galaxy Quest” movie, one member’s duty was to repeat whatever the computer said. (Gwen DeMarco, played by Sigourney Weaver)

Thanks, internet.

So, basically Google before they introduced the “Do you mean…?” function.
