I've always assumed the link was Spring, where we see a plethora of both. Egg decoration has strong roots in Poland, though the actual practice pre-dates Christianity, where as the Easter Hare is a German Lutehran tradition. Seems natural that two Springtime traditions would get linked rather heavily. Just my 2 cents.TopazFusion said:What's the relation between rabbits and eggs anyway? I never did get that.

Sorry.
Eggs and massive plethora of rabbits = fertility.TopazFusion said:What's the relation between rabbits and eggs anyway? I never did get that.
^THIS^ is why you you comes here. This surreal complementing dialogue to the lamentations of the unimpressed. Keep spooning out dollups of weird, Nick.Nick Lerman said:It is difficult to capture the complex relationship between rabbit and duck in one vignette.
Their feud is ages old and their motives, forgotten over time.
I think the only thing to take away from this is that if rabbits can wear clothes
then ducks can wield machetes. It is a message that Beatrix Potter failed to deliver.
Yeah, you know, it's a real relief when only one of your children is devoured by rabid beasts (pun intended).moonchild62 said:If only the rabbit had spared the rest of the eggs in the nest maybe the duck wouldn't have retaliated in such a severe manner.
That is the space where you went from science to assumption. Socrates would have wept, knowing that he died for this.l3o2828 said:I don't get it.

I am red/green colorblind. But the girl rabbit (pearls) in the last panel looks brown. It may be grey, in which case I apologize for the question. The girl bunny in the first panel (dress) is white. So there does not appear to be a link between the characters in the first panel and the last. Is the duck simply burning the forest and striking out against all rabbits?
Pointillismed! First panel obviously takes place on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
The classic struggle of duck versus rabbit was well represented by the cartoons of my youth.Farther than stars said:Why specifically Scandinavian Medieval vengeance?
