Notes and trivia Edit
- William "Froggie" James is a real historical figure who was lynched in Cairo, IL on November 11, 1909.
- Mr. Nancy refers to Mr. Ibis (Thoth) as "thrice the great magician." This is likely a reference to the real-world allegorical figure of Hermes Trismegistus, or "Thrice-Great Hermes," an amalgamation of the Egyptian god Thoth, the Greek god Hermes, and the Roman god Mercury. Hermes Trismegistus is the purported author of the Corpus Hermeticum and the Asclepius, two books that form the foundation of much of Western mysticism, including many elements of the modern New Age movement. Given Mr. Ibis' mystical writing throughout the series, this connection seems even more likely.
