Paul Murry left the Disney studio in July 1946, leaving Moores as the artist of the strip for the next five years. Murry went to Dell Comics to draw Disney comic book stories; his first comic, Dell's Four Color #129, featured three Br'er Rabbit stories. In 1947, Murry drew two more Br'er Rabbit stories for Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #76 and #77, and a couple more for Four Color #208 (1949) before moving on from the character for good. [7] Harris did not intend to continue the Remus character. But when Small left the paper again, Harris reprised Remus. He realized the literary value of the stories he had heard from the slaves of Turnwold Plantation. Harris set out to record the stories and insisted that they be verified by two independent sources before he would publish them. He found the research more difficult given his professional duties, urban location, race and, eventually, fame. [14] Harris’s versions of the Brer Rabbit tales were sanitised to entertain white readers. The violence and injustice at the heart of both plantation life and the traditional folktales were tempered. Instead, Harris’s stories offered a more benign view of slavery. Warner, Charles Dudley, ed. (1902). "Pilpay: Prince Five-Weapons". A Library of the World's Best Literature, Vol.XX. New York: J. A.

At first she was, according to Lear’s biography, “strangely” defensive of Aris and his portrayal of a rabbit who happened to be named Peter. But later, Potter had a change of heart and wrote to him claiming his work had “no originality” and that “coincidence has a long arm, but there are limits to coincidences”. Disney Comics featured a Br'er Rabbit reprint in WDC&S #576 (Oct 1992), covering two connected Uncle Remus serials from August 31 to December 7, 1947 (minus the strips of August 24 and September 28, both originally part of continuity). Other Disney Comics issues featured other Br'er Rabbit stories, but not taken from the comic strip. There's quite a bit of controversy surrounding these stories, and I can't comment on that, but I can tell you that this version is HILARIOUS.

XXVII. WHY MR. POSSUM HAS NO HAIR ON HIS TAIL

The Tar-Baby is the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.
