I’m fairly sure the “savage” Hulk used the correct conjugation of “to thank.” His grammar is pretty bad, and he tends to talk about himself in the third person, but gratitude does seem very important to the Hulk. He may be a crazed engine of destruction, but the Hulk never forgets his manners. On occasion, when the Hulk-form is more erudite, he sometimes waxes sesquipedilian.
Heh. That rates right up there with one great line from the old Marvel “Defenders” comic series, “Stupid Monsters. Always stupid monsters. Hulk tired of stupid monsters. Hulk smash stupid monster!”.
Certain hard-line members of the huge community are notorious for excluding anyone weighing less than 10 metric tonnes. It’s a touchy subject, and has led to accusations of huge-on-huge hate crime.
Actually, Hitty is on the petite end of the Huge range, if you think about what’s out there. The world of Skin Horse would obviously include a lot of Japanese Kaiju creatures, after all.
That got me to thinking about what the Skin Horse, equivalents of other nations might be like. The one in Japan would have to deal with Kaiju, the one in Mexico with the creatures that masked wrestlers have to fight, and so on.
Yeah, but if you think about it, humans are friggin huge already. Most animals are beetle-sized, in part due to most animals being beetles or other insects.
I suppose, too, if Bubbles accepted Alfie’s proposal, she’d become Bubbles Cobra. (Thought of that five seconds after I posted; couldn’t get back till now.)
“OH. HITTY THANK.” <– my favorite line of the year.
Come to think of it, has the Hulk ever said "HULK THANK?" That would be awesome.
Don’t know, but Film Crit Hulk has.

And really appreciates it when you tell him to do what he already wants to do.
“Monster” isn’t far outside Hitty’s terms of reference either, at least in terms of capability.
Don’t be absurd. Monsters monst. Hitty hits.
Please tell them I don’t want to be monsted
Can you provide written instructions on how to monst? I want to make sure I recognize it if I ever see it.
I’m sure Hitty could find out just *how* insensitive that monster is.
I bet their toes aren’t. WHAM!
Or discover how insensate it can become.
Heh. That rates right up there with one great line from the old Marvel “Defenders” comic series, “Stupid Monsters. Always stupid monsters. Hulk tired of stupid monsters. Hulk smash stupid monster!”.
In fairness, Hulk did precisely that. ^_^
You know, I don’t think we’ve ever seen mustachio use “what the devil”
He only does it when it’s plot relevant, such as when being menaced by a Jersey Devil, Dirt Devil(tm), or Nalfeshnee.
Nalfeshnees are demons.
I was about to point that out.
They could also be termed tanar’ri, but I believe that has fallen out of favor.
My favorite line alternates from “Don’t try to perk me up”, and ” Okay, I got Dave’s car back” to “Foot save squishy humans”
“Oh! He’s so coldly destructive!”
“We siphon it from other universes where they probably don’t want to exist as much,” delivered with a big smile by a cute blonde girl.
It’s the “probably” that really makes it.
Hitty identifies as huge? Hitty is huge.

Have an imaginary upvote
Hitty could identify as normal-sized, but surrounded by tinies.
We only have Moustachio’s word for that.

So are the cobras with Bubbles or did they just run off?
(Cobra Bubbles? Wasn’t that somebody’s name in, oh, “Lilo and Stitch,” wasn’t it?)
Probably off making friends with the huge inhuman monster.

They’re hiding inside Ginny’s coat, probably. Notice she’s buttoned it up.
The ex-black-ops social worker guy, as it happens. 😀
Also: Mustachio’s sentiments are remarkably un-Victorian.
He must have a more modern drum in today.
Hitty may very well identify as both ‘huge’ and ‘inhuman’, but the modifier (‘monster’) clearly does not apply to her
Since Hittie is both huge and inhuman, its alright if she uses the term.
Wouldn’t “nonhuman” be preferable? “Inhuman” has certain unfortunate connotations.
Has anyone put tumblr icons over Doc Lee and Moustachio’s face on this one yet? Also, trying to think of what to paste to Hitty.
