I love the magic prosthetic hands birds get on their wrists to compensate for the fact that their actual hands are busy being wings.

Practically all prose sci-fi/fantasy contains a significant amount of/is a thinly-veiled vehicle for the author's fetish, I see no reason why comics should be different.

Actual anecdote, Asimov was actually teased all the time by his colleagues for not including sex in his stories. Part two of The Gods Themselves was in part him explicitly going "I can, I just don't."

I will admit that my opinion here is probably skewed by indecent exposure to Heinlein in my youth. The Number of The Beast is a book that should not be read by anyone under the age of 50 who does not also have a strong desire to have an orgy with variously transgendered timeclones of themselves. I still have no idea how it got on my parents' bookshelf

Ah, Number of the Beast, another book on the pile of 'interesting ideas ruined by the author's self insert appearing out of nowhere and literally loving everything.' Heinlein was webcomics before webcomics were webcomics, in other words.

Anyway, the important thing is that we all got tricked into reading someone's bizarre porn over the course of several months and that's pretty funny. Also, the monster's dialogue ruled.

I... well, I've been keeping up with the comic so I was expecting poo poo to go down, but I rather underestimated the exact level of poo poo we'd be witness to  I feel a little bad for people who checked the site first and didn't see the warning on the blog, though.

OK, I'm reading Ava's Demon for the first time and I really don't like how it's laid out. Whole thing feels like looking at an overrendered storyboard one board at a time which, coupled with the site being slow to load (for me anyway), feels incredibly inefficient. Also I'm pretty sure Hellraiser did this kind of body horror better

Ava's Demon is starting to remind me of Dresden Codak's Dark Science arc in that I feel like it's trying to make a point about something but I'm not exactly sure what it is. (The social systems here seem to be awful in the exact opposite of the way that most modern school systems are awful.)

If you're reading on any day except Monday or Thursday, the website loads fine.

Also, if I'm recalling correctly, the writer works in animation, so it feeling like a series of storyboards is probably on the money.

I think we're just supposed to be seeing that the titan stuff is creepy and terrible, and it gives ava something to say to gil later on other than "the weird person in my brain says they're bad". Not that I expect he'll believe what she's just seen.
