Please tell me Otis is homage to the Andy Griffith show?

From the description/key describing “#2 MODEST FARMHOUSE AND BARN”

… There is nothing of particular interest to be seen, and these folks have nothing to trade. They say that their son Elmo would be interested in talking with strangers — he’s at the inn having a jack of ale. Their other son, Otis, they go on sadly shaking their heads, took service with some gentlemen and is away seeking his fortune. Elmo is strong, but not too quick, and his is overfond of brew…”

…

Elmo is a [Redacted]. He carries a [Redacted] dagger at all times. (“My brudder Otis gave it to me!” he will proclaim proudly if asked.) Elmo’s speech is slow and halting. He often appears tipsy and jovial, but [Redacted]. [Redacted]; thus Elmo will be interested in getting MONEY!?[sic] (to be used for later ale purchases, obviously) for being a man-at-arms, and he will gladly go with any who ask providing they will furnish him with armor and a “BIG axe”. [Redacted]. If anything untoward befalls Elmo, his brother Otis will eventually hear of it and seek redress. Otis is a [Redacted] away on a quest with [Redacted], and an elven accomplice named [Redacted].

…those be the words of the sage and august progenitor of our hobby: Gary Gygax.
