Posted It comes up a couple of times that Anansi stories occasionally have his role wrongly played by bunnies, but I didn't see Neil incorporate that directly into the story elsewhere. Well, except that Fat Charlie finally figures out that he doesn't have to be timid and can act if he needs to. Spiders, after all, are predators more than prey. Anyone else notice bunny bits that I missed? ============== Phantast - Artist Wanted

Primate Member	Posted Hide Post Quite true. However, I was asking if anyone else noticed bunny imagery elsewhere that I missed. The confusion that others have made with Anasi stories would seem a logical theme to thread into the book, but I didn't see any elsewhere. ============== Phantast - Artist Wanted

Mark Plugg Member	Posted Hide Post Fat Charlie also verrrry explicitly references Bugs Bunny, who's quite a trickster in his own right. (First post! Yay.)
