I have to say whoever created the idea of Hell Houses must have been more than a bit bent. Is it because it's a church related activity that it avoids abuse connotations? And brainwashing seems to match pretty well. When I first started reading the strip a few months ago, somehow I thought you were Canadian! It just felt that way. The comments in the earlier strips taught me differently but this was the first HE that said to me,"yeah he grew up in the Fucked Up States".

I think no further explanation is needed. Yah, I am a Christian and the idea of a hell house disgusts me. I think no further explanation is needed.

I totally had this experience! two things different: one of the vignettes was a girl, trying to convince her mom not to leave her alone with her stepdad, and her mom was all like, "he said you would say that. you just hate him." and left. and then she got raped!! I mean, they didn't show that part but it was horrible, mind-searingly clear, even to a 13-year-old. I was like, I don't even understand what I am supposed to be feeling here? at least the abortion one is clear! stepdads are evil? don't talk to your mom about things, she won't understand? you are screwed no matter what you do to prevent it? god hates tattletales? if you go to hell you will be powerless and get raped? (ours was a 'trip to hell' so we we were technically in hell, I guess?) Haha, amazing!

First panel, Eli means "How is a hell house different FROM a haunted house?" Things differ from--not than--other things. I normally frown upon grammatical attacks as argument, or in order to pick apart something that is otherwise unflawed. But I read that and made a sound so violent that it ACTUALLY HURT MY THROAT. And now to finish reading the archives. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD GRAMMAR PET PEEVE.
