[Sal the Mudokon]

Good question, Wolfpac.

I always felt like Abe, like you said, was a leader. He is good when leading his fellow mudokon and has all the qualities needed to get them out of their industrial hell. But when not leading, Abe is also good at being co-dependent with Munch. Never in MO did I get the feeling that Abe was leading Munch or Munch was leading Abe. Though they messed with each other every now and then (giving funny looks, pulling dorsal fins) they still kept a good sense of what they share in common: Niether of them knew really where they were going. This is probably why neither was the leader in the situation. They kept to their own' Abe with the muds, Munch with the fuz. But when it comes to working by himself, Abe is still pretty good. In AO he seemed to feel like he had no hope for the longest and was just running like hell. In AE though, he seemed to have a sense of greater powers working on his side. He start to lighten up when alone.
