Part 4 - Page 3

We've got a subtitle for part four! I'm introducing Red's sister Blue in this issue, and Bunny's going to be all blue held captive in the secret facility, so The Blue Bunny works. It can also be seen as a reference to the Blue Bunny short in Dan Clowes' Ice Haven and superficially as a reference to the title of Vincent Gallo's Brown Bunny - all enough to help me settle on it. Sounds evocative, too, so it's a winner for me.

This page introduces Sam Saxon, daughter of rough edged P.I. Raymond Saxon, about to take Hugo up on his job of finding Bunny. I've had the Saxon PI agency next door to Muffin's from issue one with the intention of paying it off later on, so here we go!

I also wanted to call her Sally Saxon instead of Sam, but that's too close to 'Shelly', another bespectacled character from the comic. Didn't want it to get confusing. If I ever want to do some kind of Sam Saxon spin off separate from Muffin Topp, maybe I can re-christen her then.
