Okay, this was inspired by the current [Pibgorn](http://www.comics.com/comics/pibgorn/index.html) storyline (which is an adaptation of Midsummer’s Night Dream by Willy the Shake using characters from [Pibgorn](http://www.comics.com/comics/pibgorn/html/cast_Pibgorn.html) and [9 Chickweed Lane](http://www.comics.com/comics/chickweed//html/cast_Chickweedlane.html).

The strip appears every MWF on [Comics.com](http://Comics.com), so we have some time before all is revealed.

Here’s what’s known with my guesses:

THESEUS, Duke of Athens - Thorax  
HIPPOLYTA, Queen of the Amazons – Don’t recognize her  
Egeus (Egea in Pib) father (Mother) to Hermia – Gran  
LYSANDER, in love with Hermia – Seth  
HERMIA, daughter to Egeus(a), in love with Lysander – Isabel  
DEMETRIUS, in love with Hermia–Burkhardt

Unknown  
PHILOSTRATE, Master of the Revels to Theseus \>Guessing\< Gaggot  
QUINCE, a carpenter  
SNUG, a joiner  
BOTTOM, a weaver \>Guessing\< Amos (though this is the role Burkhardt was born to play)  
FLUTE, a bellows-mender  
SNOUT, a tinker  
STARVELING, a tailor

HELENA, in love with Demetrius \>Guessing\< Edda

OBERON, King of the Fairies \>Guessing\< Geof  
TITANIA, Queen of the Fairies \>Guessing\< Dru  
PUCK, or ROBIN GOODFELLOW \>Guessing\< Pib  
PEASEBLOSSOM, fairy \>Guessing\< Oognat  
COBWEB, fairy  
MOTH, fairy  
MUSTARDSEED, fairy  
What are your guesses?

Isn’t Hyppolita the Mother Superior out of Habit? - or no - is it Edda’s grandmother?

We still have available Seth’s boyfriend, the other ballet dance with the crush on Burkhardt, and the Piano Player who tried to seduce Amos (as you can see, I’m no good with names)

I don’t think so, but that’s a pretty scary thought. :-o!
