Lupperdiddle's surname, "Swires", is the name of two different gnome characters who appear in the Discworld: Swires, the first gnome in the series, who appears in ''The Light Fantastic''; and Buggy Swires, a member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, who isn't known for leaping but does give aerial support by riding on various birds. (In Discworld, gnomes are only about six inches tall.)
