	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Brer Rabbit
		The word was short for "Brother", indicating a perception of oneness with Nature on the part of the ancient tellers of the stories, and the E was pronounced the same as that of the word it abbreviated, i.e., with practically no vowel sound at all.
		Brer Rabbit was the "trickster" character found in folklore all over the world — a little guy, fast on his feet, who gets the better of his larger, fiercer opponents by outwitting them.
		Brer Fox was his smart, potentially deadly adversary, who generally fell into the trickster's traps by partially outwitting himself, and Brer Bear was Brer Fox's big, strong, but not very bright sidekick.
