My initial instinct is the Hussie won't be able to take care of Doc Scratch because he still has to go on to raise Aradiancestor to become a witch and recruit the Condesce.

But then I remembered that the Kids' universe is getting scratched and that means things need to play out differently. Like the Condesce not keeping Grandma and Grandpa from getting together.

Mostly I'm just hoping Scratch will finally die because goddammit what a dick.

Well the Condesce still needs to go into the pre-scratch universe to become Betty Crocker. However she won't be in the post-scratch universe. Oh my god I just realized, the scratch will only change one single thing: No Betty Crocker. I.E. no more Fruit Gushers. I'm not sure that's a universe I want to happen.

Oh, there's like another comic in the header. How unobservant of me.

Can the author lose to his own character?

Well, the Hussie we're seeing is clearly not omnipotent in his own comic.

I mean, he's stumbling around in dead-ends, and his best hope for a weapon is a broom.

He's stated that the fifth wall is to keep two omniscient narrators from messing with one another. And he's also for reasons I am not sure of yet put two fourth-walls facing each other a yard apart. With the coat between.

So maybe that Hussie isn't THE Hussie, but I am still curious how Scratch will deal with him.

I like to imagine that Hussie is a universal constant. There's the Hussie we're seeing, the one who wrote the Midnight Crew story that Dave was reading (before he died in the meteors), and a Hussie who lives in the Midnight Crew's city and writes a version of Homestuck (found on the Crosbytop)

Doc Scratch isn't really a narrator. He's a very plot-relevant character, who happens to be narrating.

Hussie is the best host.

He is clearly showing that Scratch doll the best hospitality.

The Scratch doll is probably Lil' Cal, just because. It's clearly not Scratch himself, especially in the context of the last line.
