Oh yes, of course!I guess we've figured out who he's been having tea with. And why he chooses to remain as a doll most of the time. Strange choice in women, though. Also Hetty, you should know that glass fibers can cause respiratory problems similar to asbestos. (You're kind of a bitch, is what I'm saying.)

I'm putting my money on Hetty being another "demon in a child's toy" thing (or similar), just like Renard. I'd assume Adam is her "owner" of sorts

I'm with you, download. Maybe Rey is off to a meeting of other demon toys to cause mischief and mild mayhem.

Which would raise the troubling question: "How many demon toys are there running around, stuffing our sheets with insulation?" Not a comforting thought. Ghost Busters would have a field day in the Court. |

Whoever Hetty is, she's clearly quite a charmer! (Also: Oh, Annie!) |

Oh God, she's so evil. That stuff is the worst.
Hetty's forehead is distractingly big in panel 2.

Well, I have worked in the glass fibre industry and I can tell that modern materials do no longer itch at all.

Well, I have worked in the glass fibre industry and I can tell that modern materials do no longer itch at all. If you'd be so kind as to get technical for a bit. Are the glass fibres used for insulation similar with the ones used for textile applications? I've tested glass fibre fabrics (woven construction) as part of the substrate of an aluminised firefighters' uniform. The glass fibre fabric was soft and pliable (well the drape was not similar to say silk but the lamination could be to blame for it too). Are there standard fibre diameters produced? Many apologies for derailing the thread but it's not often I get to talk about glass fibres.  |

Is Hetty like the Krusty doll in The Simpsons 'Treehouse of Horror III'?
"Yup, here's your problem. Someone set this thing to 'EVIL'".

Well, she's...significantly more evil than I expected. Though she certainly didn't look very disarming to begin with.
And apparently Twitter-Tom has been playing Project Diva, which is hilarious.

Blegh. Never trust creepy little dolls. Also, who is Adam? New character, or just one we haven't had a name for yet? Only character we know of already I can think of who probably has some importance but no first name yet is Jack's father, who Jack has only referred to as "Dad" and we have only seen before in a flashback getting into a fight with young Eglamore where he was only referred to as "Hyland". He seemed to have a disrespect for the etheric arts then too, which could certainly lead him to own a demon living in a doll. [/wild and crazy speculation} |

Well, that would explain why no one is that freaked out when encountering Renard for the first time. Apparently owning possessed dolls is not that unique.
Still no idea what's going on (again)
Also: That is eeevil.

I thought Adam was the headmaster, but then again, has he been referred to by his first name?
Maybe Hetty is some kind of spirit that takes the form of a doll?

And calling this canine spirit "Reynardine" may suggest Surma's acquaintance... She wasn't too nice back then, see? |

I imagine Gunnerkrigg Court has many strange things in it leading to people just accepting oddities What I find particularly odd is that despite being surrounded by weird ass shit, Kat doesn't believe in magic. Or perhaps it is that she thinks that the things around her have a scientific explanation that hasn't been discovered yet? |

Many apologies for derailing the thread but it's not often I get to talk about glass fibres. They are quite similar, yes. I cannot tell about the diameters or such, that's confidential. The main difference between todays fibres and the fibre everyone seems to remember is that they are now a lot shorter and finer. this leads to a less coarse surface which was the itching part. also, modern fibres are 100% biodegradable in moist, warm environments aka your lung. firefighter uniforms use a very similar stuff but I dont know the specs for that, we didn't make those. /derail. glass fibres are awesome |

The stuff used in firefighter uniforms isn't glass, it's Nomex, kinda like Kevlar and other exotic fibers.
As for biodegradable, if it's glass it's not, If it is then it's cellulose insulation. I know here in Australia that the glass stuff is still very popular as it doesn't burn

"I also put tiny amounts of sodium cyanide in his tea! Hilarious!" That is, in fact, good deed as he can survive after being poisoned with dose which would be lethal for most humans. Or does it work only for organic poisons?.. Unless he drinks tea with sugar, of course. |

Hetty truly is pure evil. Glass fiber is the worst thing ever. Just a bit of it makes your whole body itch for weeks and you can't even wash it off.
