Some behind the scenes notes:


 * Tom Tennyson Tanzer is a name I'm particularly fond of:
 * Tom, separate from Thomas, is a Hebrew name that can mean "the end/completion"
 * Tennyson is ultimately "son/follower of Dionysus"
 * Tanzer is a German word for "dancer"
 * Ultimately, his name can be read as "The end of the drunk dancer", but is also based on the term Totentanz, German for "dance of the dead"


 * Tom coming back in 1929 and coming from Missouri is a reference to the famous Silly Symphonies short "The Skeleton Dance" (released in 1929 and animated by Ub Iwerks, who was born in Missouri)
 * Coincidentally, Missouri is similar to "misery"
