Alice in popular culture sighting no. 15: In Tony Wilson's novelization of 24 Hour Party People, he references Alice in Wonderland twice. First on page 67: "Wilson perched, half-cross-legged, on a bar stool, holding court like the caterpillar on the mushroom", and then on page 78: "He just retreated till there was less even than the smile of a Lewis Carroll cat."
Alice in popular culture sighting no. 16: I've been reading through some of my old comics and found that District X number 12 (written by David Hine and Illustrated by Lan Medina) ends with an epilogue where Ismael Ortega finds Mikhail Smerdyakov reading Alice in Wonderland to his uncle Gregor who has now fully taken root in one of the tunnels underground. Mikhail notes "Uncle Gregor says the proper title is Alice's Adventures Underground." (The title of the original, much shorter, book Carroll wrote for Alice Liddell).

This is my main blog. In it I talk about various aspects of culture (digital and otherwise), new media, the internet, my ideas, and anything else that I feel I need to cover or discuss.
I also use it as a place to chronicle instances of Alice (of Wonderland fame) in popular culture. These instances are intended to be "found", so I don't include any I've been directed to (such as those that occur in texts I read for my course) or any I actively seek out.
