Continuity

This is the first appearance of Herne and his son, both of which are based on Herne the Hunter from English folklore. The two were first mentioned all the way back in Fables #86 — "Boxing Days," where Dunster Happ states that he spent seven years in the Hesse, where he and his fellow Boxers boxed the last of the "baleful Hernes."
