In TWW...*hearts fly around favorite UE*...Aunt Josephine's dead husband...Ike. They never say/print his full name. His full name, Ike Anwhistle. Am I just horribly slow? Or...are we ALL horribly slow? At least some of us? *Dodges tomatoes...especially those rotten ones*

Um...sorry, but what exactly is the importance of the name "Ike Anwhistle"? Is it somewhere else in the series? *feels horribly dense*

Hahaha ;D
I didn't think Handler would do something like that either...
But it's perfectly feasible.
Usually he names his characters after famous people or literary references... and since I can't think of any good references for Ike Anwhistle, it seems logical that he was trying to make a pun like that...

Surprisingly, I actually noticed that.
A few weeks ago when I was re-reading the series for the 5th time (literally the 5th time). I was thinking about things that I have read about that have something to do with the name "Anwhistle" (since LS is always using names from some historical person in the past.) I kept saying Josephine Anwhistle over and over to jog my memory and for some reason, and I don't know why, I said Josephine AND Ike Anwhistle. And then it hit me, Ike Anwhistle/ I can whistle.

Hmm...it is rather strange...but...totally unexpected. Daniel Handler is merely keeping us on our toes, in case we presume to think we have 'it' all figured out. A monkey wrench. Or a monkey whistle. In my humble opinion.

Humm . . . somewhere in "unauthorized Autobiography," it mentions him, so he was in VFD . . . But I never got the pun before. Heh-heh.

Which is why he can whistle with a mouthful of crackers.  |
