Lewis Carroll / Alice in the popular culture
These are links to pages that are related to Carroll (mostly Alice) in the
popular culture. Alice has been used to promote sales of most anything and
to prove a wide variety of beliefs. I don't know if Lewis Carroll would be
amused, amazed, or abashed. Regardless, this use of Alice keeps his work in
the public arena generation after generation. Also included here is Alice in
the performing arts.
I would have made this page more disorganized, if only I could. Links on this
page disappear quite regularly. If you find a dead link please notify me. I
am in the midst of testing these links, but time is finite (at least mine is).
Alice in various media
Parodies, Spinoffs, etc.
- Jabberwocky distilled
- Jabberwocky mania - should Jabberwocky come with a warning label? This could happen to your child!
- Jabberwocky parodies. Grab your vorpal sword in hand before entering (there are monsters to be slain).
- A gallumphing Jabberwocky. If you thought "blink" was bad ...
-
Why Jabberwocky? I'm glad you asked. Here are 10 useless facts to help answer that question.
- Alice in Unixland. More Alice techno-humor. "Aargh", exclaimed the Cheshire Beagle.
- Alice in Digitaland. Better techno-humor. Is making a value judgement politically correct?
- The Adventures of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the style of Alice in Wonderland. A pretty clever piece even if the politics are through the looking-glass. I guess I'm just another example of the liberal media.
- Poetic Alice. The hole story in a few lines.
- The Disney Channel Alice series episode synopses. Take this with a grin of salt.
- The Carroll sci-fi connection. A list of sci-fi stories with Carroll references.
- A parody of the Walrus and the Carpenter showing the plight of the Russian economy.
- The Wonderland Gambit by Jack L. Chalker. When asked to comment on Lewis Carroll, this was his reply.
- Fieldbus Quadrille for those of you into Industrial Automation.
- Well it's not on the web (I don't think), but have you seen The MAXX #28? A character goes into a Wonderland trance to bring her back to her childhood and free up her inhibitions so she can solve her psychological problems. At least I think that's the crux. As a taste - the Tweedles are twin sisters (topsy-turvy) who are opposite ends of the binge and purge spectrum of yo-yo dieting.
- Byte of the Loan Snark, to the tune of Mack the Knife.
- A travelogue to mythical Carroll lands.
- Alice in Microsoft Land. Open the Gates Bill. I want out!
- Synopsis of a Mad Hatter screenplay.
- 3 Cheshire Cat books on diskThe Adventures, The Bride, and the Child of the Cheshire Cat by Gary Raab.
- Alice in Cyberland anime
- Toxic Faerie Tales Need I say more? The illustration will bring you back to the Sixties - if you're old enough to remember the Sixties. The story on the other hand will make CLD one of the Grateful Dead.
- The Mad Reviewers's Song
- The Red Queen as you've never seen her. I hope this confuses you as much as it did me.
- A play about Alice, Dorothy and Susan. Our childhood heroines with modern problems.
-
a MiSTing of a cheesy ripoff of Disney's cheesy ripoff
entitled "Zebeckras in Wonderland."
What is a MiSTing, you ask? It's a
critique of a USENET post, fanfic, etc. in the style of MST3K.
Enjoy!
-The West Virginian
- A Snark parody. I had
to include this - my sister has a Border Collie.
-
Alice's Adventures in Floodland a Gothic tale.
Diseases
Memorabilia and Collectibles
Web Pages with a Carroll Motif
Miscellaneous
There are other items that might be considered suitable for this category on some of the other Carroll pages. I suggest looking through them all, but the best candidate might be the Commercial page.
On the off chance that you didn't come here from the Lewis Carroll Home Page.
