Good morning 🤡👋🤡👋

[bleachedduck]

"When you least expect it, nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spot. Just remember I’m here. Right now, you may not want to feel anything. Maybe you’ll never want to feel anything. And, maybe it’s not to me you want to speak about these things, but I feel something you obviously did.

Look, you had a beautiful friendship. Maybe more than a friendship. And I envy you.

In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away, or pray that their sons land on their feet. But I am not such a parent. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of 30 and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!

And I’ll say one more thing… it’ll clear the air. I may have come close, but I never have what you two have. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business. Just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once, and before you know it, your heart’s worn out. And as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there’s sorrow, pain; don’t kill it, and with it, the joy you’ve felt."

—Call Me By Your Name, by André Aciman, 2007. (Pictures from the movie adaptation directed by Luca Guadagnino, 2018).

A Whimsical Journey into Wonderland: A Review of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a timeless masterpiece that transcends generations, captivating readers with its enchanting narrative and imaginative world. The 1865 classic takes us on a fantastical journey with Alice, a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a bizarre realm filled with peculiar characters and nonsensical events.

Carroll's narrative prowess is on full display as he weaves a dreamlike tale where logic takes a backseat, and the absurd reigns supreme. The story unfolds in a series of episodic encounters, each more whimsical than the last. From the enigmatic Cheshire Cat to the perpetually late White Rabbit, and the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, Carroll introduces us to a cast of characters that has become iconic in the realm of literature.

What sets "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" apart is its ability to appeal to readers of all ages. Children revel in the whimsy and playful language, while adults find deeper layers of meaning beneath the surface. Carroll's clever wordplay and satirical take on the conventions of his time add a layer of sophistication that elevates the narrative beyond a simple children's story.

Who stole the tart? Illustration - Arthur Rackham

The inclusion of Arthur Rackham's illustrations in some editions enhances the reading experience. Rackham's detailed and whimsical drawings bring Carroll's characters to life, adding visual depth to Wonderland's eccentric inhabitants. The synergy between Carroll's words and Rackham's illustrations creates a synergy that amplifies the story's magic.

The surreal nature of Wonderland serves as a canvas for Carroll to explore themes of identity, reality, and the absurdity of social norms. Alice's constant changes in size and the fluidity of the world around her mirror the challenges of navigating adolescence and the quest for self-discovery. The episodic nature of the story allows Carroll to satirize the arbitrary nature of authority and the absurdity of rules.

Moreover, Carroll's storytelling is complemented by Austin Dobson's preface in some editions, offering insights into the author's life and the cultural context of the time. This contextualization adds depth to the narrative, allowing readers to appreciate the layers of meaning woven into the tale.

In conclusion, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" remains a literary marvel that continues to captivate readers with its whimsical charm and intellectual depth. Lewis Carroll's exploration of imagination and satire, coupled with Arthur Rackham's enchanting illustrations, ensures that this timeless classic will remain a beloved treasure for generations to come.

Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is available in Amazon in paperback 15.99$ and hardcover 17.99$ editions.

I'm pretty sure there's a direct relationship between how likely a piece of media is to develop a scarily dedicated fandom and how readily you can sarcastically refer to "Tweedledum and Tweedledee over here" and have it be obvious which pair of characters you're talking about.

Back in 1990, George Perez produced a stunning 12 plate portfolio of Batman artwork, including his covers for "A Lonely Place of Dying"

However, he also did a thirteenth plate for an edition which was only available from Warner Bros Stores (Remember those?)

And what a plate it was, Batman and Robin sneaking through a nightmarish Gothic... Cathedral? Asylum? Petting Zoo (It is Gotham City)

And the villains! Anarky, Catman, Joker, Catwoman, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Ra's Al Ghul, Black Mask, Two-Face, Riddler, Clayface III, Scarecrow, Cavalier, Penguin, Tweedledee, Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Killer Moth, Tweedledum, Dagger and Dr Phosphorus (and I've probably missed a few)

I got Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass, to understand the wonderland roles from eah better because all I have to go off of is the disney movies. And eah is very different from disney, considering disney makes their own canon.
