Lewis Carroll is an amazing guy. My parents once accidentally bought me this giant book of his stuff. I say accidentally because I no longer remember if it was a deliberate purchase (especially considering the size of the damn thing). It has like all of his poems, all his books, all his word puzzles, etc. It's massive. So I don't ever bust it out often. But it's a neat little thing to have around and available. Should probably buy a smaller bonus copy of Alice in Wonderland too someday, though.
Anyways! Lewis Carroll was not his name. His name was Charles Dodgson. He was mathematician and a poet. He wrote word play puzzles and even invented the form of puzzle known as the word ladder or doublets. He was a priest too, I believe. Most of his life was spent in and/or around one of the high class british universities. He was a bit aristocratic and conservative in his personal life (that part a brief wikipedia skim led me to believe), but he was also a gifted man with words and stories. I mean...if you read Alice in Wonderland, I don't know if you'd immediately assume a mathematician wrote it. But he did. And he wrote more like it.
He's an interesting author. I like children's stories. I especially like humorous stories and fantasy stories. He blended all three. He's a genius of the old classical era. And while this post was inspired by my anger at DC not paying his wonderland books their proper due, I mostly just ended up trying to show how Lewis Carroll is nothing like the character based off his books in these comics.
