>>313Otis the Dog is the Id,the raw primal animal fighting instinct,Alvey the Baby is the Ego, untapped human creativity and potential that needs consistent guidance to avoid self destruction,and comes Tim forced to become the SuperEgo,who must defeat his shadow self in Loki. Otis' Mask/Bighead form represents Tim's desire for the status quo and things to turn back to normal,even if it mean the death of his own Son. To reclaim the mask Tim must quell Otis,his ID,the horny violent dog on him, to save his family and defeat his shadow self. Tim and Loki are direct parallels to eachother. Two immensely creative and gifted people who have done absolutely nothing with their talents,both forced to reach their full potential through forces outside their own doing.
