As I understand it, what starts out as a competition between both characters Hetty and Marci as allegorical stands-in for their respective comics, winds up with a recognition and eventual embracing of one another. It's a beautiful arc, Hetty begetting IHHAT and IHHAT providing closure for Hetty.
Frankly it's far more than faf deserves, who has done little to garner any further praise and attention into his work but it's more about honouring the material and less so the source behind it.
