I only know what I've read about the comics on the internet, really -- I've never actually read them myself. I suppose if I'm going to be running a site like this I should start collecting and reading them, but I, too, am much more familiar with Harris's version of the stories. I'm afraid I'll nitpick at the comics too much to enjoy them... especially when it comes to Molly. In the very least, I think they should have made her much more Southern, but she comes across more like a housewife from the 50's in what I've seen. It's too bad, because I actually tend to like the Disney designs for the characters otherwise. On the other hand, I think the Walt Disney's Uncle Remus Stories Big Golden Book does a pretty decent job with her. But they were mainly just illustrating to Joel Chandler Harris's stories anyways, so no surprise there. Great book, though; I wish they'd done more like it. (Although they left out Miss Meadows in that one, too.) Yeah, I know what you mean. I only know what I’ve read about the comics on the internet, really — I’ve never actually read them myself.

Its like you're reading my mind! Molly was one of the girls and those girls where like prostitutes! I must be honest.... I know joel chandler harris' tales far better than I know the brer rabbit disney comics but what I have read in brer rabbits and mollys romance... It felt almost like it strays from his character. (Like I said I don't know much about molly... But from what I have read in the disney comics I don't like her persona. I think it wouldve been better if they toned down miss meadows). it makes so happy that someone else wishes that they used miss meadows besides me! Ah! Its like you’re reading my mind!

The irony is, Molly originally WAS one of the girls. I can understand why Disney changed it (the stories never came right out and said it, but they were pretty much... prostitutes), but I never felt like they pulled off their alternative storyline for her very well.
