It's such a small world

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 46: In the inside front cover of the "author's preferred text" of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, there's a quote from the Minneapolis Star Tribune that describes the book as "A dark contemporary ALICE IN WONDERLAND... Imaginative, well-crafted [and] highly visual".

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 47: In his TED talk, back in February, about finding the true face of Leonardo Da Vinci, Siegried Woldhek shows portraits he's painted. He zooms in on three specific portraits, these are of Audrey Hepburn, Saddam Hussein, and Lewis Carroll. Carroll appears to be taking a picture of Alice Liddell.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 48: I was bored the other day and started stumbling. The first page I came to was two pieces of Alice inspired art by Eva Soulu, apparently for an album entitled "Wonderland" by The Penultimate Truth.
