Behind the Scenes

• Ryan the Lion and Peter the Parasite are a cynical reworking of Aesop's fable The Lion and the Mouse. The original fable teaches the lesson that even the smallest contribution can be significant, while the Rapture equivalent extols Objectivism.
• The Ryan the Lion and Peter the Parasite propaganda posters were designed by Kat Berkley, who also made the slides for the educational shorts in one of the classrooms.
• Ryan the Lion and Peter the Parasite are the Rapture version of Dimwit & Duke from Columbia.
