There are a lot of things I like about HotS. First, instead of 20-something gamer geeks, it's 30-something gamer geeks. The main characters are happily married, with grownup jobs.

I'm also enjoying the meta-sidebar. This comic is still evolving, and the writer provides personal updates on what he thinks works in each strip. It's interesting to see his thought processes explained. Interesting to me, anyway.

Me: So, did I tell you that when this damn thing is done, I will never ever crochet again?
KC: Yeah, several times.
Me: I'm sorry. I know you enjoy it, but this is the stupidest hobby ever. Around and around and around and around...
(Later)
Me: Look at that. It looks great. I made this. Me. Wow.
KC: ...And now you know why people crochet.

I still don't think I'll ever crochet again. But the demon thingie looks great. My dad suggested wings, and once the idea was in my head, I had to try it. (Ooh the wings sucked. I thought I wrote down exactly what I did for the first one, but when I tried to duplicate it, I found out I was slightly wrong. So the wings aren't perfectly symmetrical. I don't think anyone will notice, but it was at that point that I decided not to do stuffed wings. Four almost identical shapes would actually have made me insane.)

I have six peniswarmers, an almost circular body, and two wings. I wish I knew if I still had a working digital camera. I'd love to post pictures.

Now I'm trying to determine the exact point I need to be at so I can still be working on it In-Game on Sunday, but finish it before the end of the session. Hans said I can't start stuffing it, at least until a few people in game get to the have the "What the FUCK kind of jumper is Ellen making anyway" moment.

Then I'll stuff it, and Ellen can "give" it to whoever actually ends up playing the demon child to use as a prop. Rijid reminded me of the Demon Bunny that used to show up sometimes. It was a demon see, and it had posessed this pink stuffed bunny. So, you'd just be minding your own business, and this foot-tall pink bunny would hop over and start saying terrible, disgusting things. If Ellen's baby doesn't want the L'il Cthulu, maybe that demon can find a new home.
