in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

Happy 23rd Birthday, Dipper and Mabel!

I was in a mood to draw something from my Wonderland AU, and ended up wondering how grown-up Victorian-esque Dipper and Mabel might look.

I need these guys' vibe

Also, there's this website where this archetype can be summarised up as "Girl Underground" and lists out a long list of examples . Have a check out (https://girls-underground.com/the-archetype/)

I like the Cheshire cat.

Recently rewatched Disney's 1951 Alice in Wonderland and considering I also wanted to draw P, I did a crossover.

Inspired by the original illustration.

I just realised that some of you have probably never seen or heard of what is in my opinion the best film version of Alice in Wonderland, which is from 1999 and you can watch the entire thing here on youtube unless it’s blocked in your country but that’s what VPNs are for baby. It’s by far the best in terms of accurately integrating things from the books while putting its own very unique spin on it (also has one of the most accurate ‘vibes’ from the books with its charming/spooky/quirky tones). I really love it. Enjoy!

Oh and did I mention it features Gene Wilder, Martin Short and a bunch of work done by Jim Henson’s workshop? Yeah. Go get it.

In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, there's the following exchange between the Cheshire Cat and Alice:

Alice: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

Cheshire Cat:  "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."

Alice:  "I don't much care where-"

Cheshire Cat: "Then it doesn't matter which way you go."

Alice: "-so long as I get SOMEWHERE,"

Cheshire Cat: "Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough."

I want the 1966 Alice through the looking glass to get popular so there can be minor passive aggressive discourse about how people only like the movie for the "clowncore" character like what happened with 1976's "The Adventures of Buratino" in 2021

This was supposed to just be a rough sketch, but then I started getting really invested in it.

I hadn't initially intended to include so many picture book characters, but the nostalgia was overwhelming. Does anyone remember the animated short films produced by Weston Woods? My local library used to have a bunch of them on the Scholastic VHS tapes from the late 90s. (I know some shorts were released on the Children's Circle VHS tapes back in the 80s (🎶 Come on along! Come on along! Join the caravan!), and some were packaged in Sammy's Story Shop in 2008.)

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
