Hothead's rage is stoked by her inner demon, Personality #2, but sometimes tempered with the help of Roz, her friend who offers Zen wisdom and tough love, and Chicken, her cat and constant companion.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiane DiMassa\u003c\/b\u003e is an American artist best known for her contributions to the alternative, feminist comic book sphere.
