I imagine that in some ways it's like having a child, though I can't complete this analogy, as I only have cats. But perhaps it is like having a cat: you have a dear cat who you love very much, despite the fact that she bites the fur out of her tail and has a more-than-passing resemblance to both Gertrude Stein and a gremlin, and other people don't like her because she looks funny and she's shy. I had my first negative review a while ago, and it was a shiver! Gah, it’s awful and awesome — as in awe-inspiring — that once you let go of it, a work of art isn’t yours.

The strip itself doesn't come up, however. :( :)
