I tried to pack so many gods into this section that the research and sketches probably took more time than the rest of the chapter combined. Everyone is based on someone I know, except for Demeter (oddly), who is based on a tv-personality. It was revealed to me that this personality was a manifestation of Demeter when, one afternoon bombed on cough syrup and lying on the couch watching hours of shows, I realized that her symbol was the bee (along with many other traits and hints).

Molly Demeter Sokolow Hayden (or Modemeter, for obvious reasons of length) grew up surrounded by her father’s comic book collection, sometimes literally. She fell in love with Will Eisner’s Spirit at an inappropriately young age and wishes she could draw like Jaime Hernandez. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, her daughter, and her cat, and sneaks down to her drawing table whenever she can.
