The Hans at the Pudding and Pie is Clever Hans.
Hansel shows up in the comics, and trust me he won't be in the series.... neither will a lot of fables mentioned in the thread.
Hansel is the one who shoved Frau Totenkinder into her own oven. Clever Hans... well was pretty dumb and it cost him a wife. lol Basically Clever Hans just does stupid things all the time that aren't in his best interest or the interest of his friends, which is what does in the episode.
His name is ironic, like calling a guy who is 6'8" 300lbs Tiny.
I have a question, I never read the comics but Buffkin is from the Wizard of Oz right? I thought That was a Movie? How is that a fable? So theoretically can we find Dorthy working at the pudding and Pie stripping?
The wizard of Oz was originally a children's book by L. Frank Baum. I'm not sure whether it would count a a fairy tale, but it's has a fairy tale type feel to it.

The Wizard of Oz has a fable, it was published in 1900 by Lyman Frank Baum. The first film to be based off of that story came out in 1939.

Nope Rose Red comes from the comics, from as early as issue 1... (as is Flycatcher, Bufkin, Ichabod, BlueBeard, Jack...)
but Gren, lil' mermaid, Dum and Dee, Georgie and the Trolls are put here by TellTales
So cool! I love all of the stories that TellTale is meshing into this game! I have so many books I need to buy after this, the original versions of the stories.
Do you think there is a chance we will be able to see Solomon Grundy in a later episode of TWAU? Like maybe a cameo or something? I know he is technically a fable and for TWAU TTG is in association with Vertigo (obviously) who has rights to DC characters.
Solomon Grundy nursery rhyme (according to wiki):
Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday,
Christened on a stark and stormy Tuesday,
Married on a gray and grisly Wednesday,
Took ill on a mild and mellow Thursday,
Grew worse on a bright and breezy Friday,
Died on a gay and glorious Saturday,
Buried on a baking, blistering Sunday.
That was the end of Solomon Grundy.
Hansel works for the adversary in the comics.
Initially he wasn't and was running away from the homelands into fabletown with Gretel. But when they saw Frau Totenkinder (the witch who they killed) Hansel went on a crazy witch hunt.
I forgot the rest of the details but he did something quite bad and got Gretel killed. So he went back to the homelands. (Soon after working for the adversary)
I forgot about Grundy! I've heard of that rhyme before. He was also mentioned in Batman: Arkham City, since he was a prisoner that constantly talks about that story.

The history of Oz film is pretty interesting; there were actually silent films made as far back as the teens by Baum himself. There was also a stage show and a spin-off book featuring the Woggle-Bug, who was immensely popular at the time and is...less so today, to put it mildly.

No, that's Clever Hans, not Hansel.
Oh, sorry. I haven't read the comics yet. What's the difference between the two?
Hansel is the one who shoved Frau Totenkinder into her own oven. Clever Hans... well was pretty dumb and it cost him a wife. lol Basically Clever Hans just does stupid things all the time that aren't in his best interest or the interest of his friends, which is what does in the episode.

Hansel is an asshole.

Thanks for clearing that up Guys,

but Gren, lil' mermaid, Dum and Dee, Georgie and the Trolls are put here by TellTales
Flycatcher's just the affectionate nickname his friends call him. His real name is Ambrose. He is awesome.
