Bionic Bunny's Real Origin
Creator Marc Brown has revealed in interviews how the idea for Bionic Bunny came about. He and his wife Laurie were discussing aspects of superheroes while driving to an antique show in 1983, specifically how young children consider superheroes to be "real". Laurie was speaking from some experience, having studied superhero fiction at Harvard. They agreed to collaborate on a book about superheroes. Thus, Bionic Bunny was not created to be part of the Arthur world, but instead became part of it later. Bionic Bunny's mother is usually wearing an apron and glasses.

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or origin:
“Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
