Ghomeshi, Henein, and Peter Rabbit (Part 5): Patty-Cake Patty-Duke

continuing on from my previous post, note this excerpt from, Jian Ghomeshi, Marie Henein, and Peter Rabbit (Update):
The video she posted along with the comment is of two hare's boxing, which you can watch at:  
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man 1 - WW Denslow - Project Gutenberg etext 18546.jpg
William Wallace Denslow illustrations for Pat-a-cake,
 pat-a-cake, baker's man
,
from a 1901 edition of
 Mother Goose

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s_IwHrRLoMc.  It does look a bit like the two hare's are playing a game of "patty cake", hence the caption re "Patty cake Patty cake bakers man...", that in turn connects in cryptic fashion to the name "Patty Duke". 
So, leaving no stone unturned, note the image at right taken from the "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man" wiki page.  Note as well the name of the illustrator, now note from his wiki page:

  • William Wallace "W. W." Denslow (May 5, 1856 – March 29, 1915) 
He and Patty Duke died on the same day 101 years apart!!
