Milestone reached and passed...

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 50: I picked up a copy of issue 6 of "Wonderland" by Tommy Kovac and Sonny Liew. It apparently follows the adventures of the various Wonderland inhabitants after Alice has gone back through the looking-glass. I'm not completely sure what's going on though, as this is the last in the series. I shall have to pick up the collection sometime.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 51: In a "flash-forward" in the most recent episode of Lost, Jack is reading Alice in Wonderland to a child. He's reading the section where Alice contemplates her identity. I'll leave it at that, so as not to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet...

It's a different book, I swear...

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 43: I've mentioned before about the "Fables" series by Bill Willingham. I mentioned how various Alice characters are featured in the books, but not Alice herself. I discovered today that this is because she is resident in The Golden Boughs Retirement Village. I found this in Jack of Fables #21, where Alice features prominently as the object of Wicked John's advances. (if she has appeared before in the series, I haven't noticed)
