History
Brer Fox, along with Brer Bear, are depicted as the arch-enemies of Brer Rabbit. The two are always trying to catch and eat the rabbit who outsmarts them, similar to how slave outsmart and escape his captors.

One of Brer Fox's particular attempts was when he created a baby doll made of tar and clothes, similar to Gum Baby. When Brer Rabbit came along to greet them, the tar baby did not respond. This caused Brer Rabbit to be offended by his lack of manners, eventually he so mad he beat up the tar baby and got stuck. Brer Fox revealed himself and thought of ways to get rid of the rabbit. Brer Rabbit told the fox to do anything except throw him in a nearby thorny thicket. The sadistic Brer Fox did just that, but this turned out to be reverse psychology. Rabbits make their homes in thickets so Brer Rabbit escaped.
