represent at least a try of a leap of faith in a new thing. Please enjoy this for it has....well read on to find out?

The rest of my Laboring Day night and all the coolness and weirdness about it?

Hey there all, 
Wasn't it just yesterday I was going on about what I was doing after work on this past Monday better known as the first Monday of the month of September called Labor Day, which means for kids of above the age of six the start back in life at their own form of work called school time. I seem to recall I had shared also  about telling you all of seeing a very ill friend, and my plans to viewing my very last summer movie........ Then darn it to my own over thinking I had realized once at the ticket booth counter I was super smart in the way of being just mud spelled backwards and let's keep it at that shall we?  After going through my wallet looking for that free pass I had decided I would wait to use it over the upcoming weekend coming up soon, but I did one very assuage thing to really help me remember it for at that time and that was I got myself a brand new movie member card and know that if I want everything of the old card to be in sink with the new one and retain all of my point history I have to go online and active the new one.So I was without a doubt bummed as I was mentioning from yesterday and for some reason or other by standing right in front of the entrance of Branes & Nobles I had remembered wanting to find a copy of Peter Pan the original novel (so that I can do an original comparison between it an Alice in wonderland) and not just this the latest link under WONDER MORE of my first look at the two. With not knowing if I had a whole bunch of time I went to the customer information desk and asked if they actually had a copy similar to this one

of what I had gotten from back in the last weekend of this past July, there. The young man looked into their files and had taken me to where they had moved those B&N classics from where there were from in July that at least I know of. We went down a aisle I had circled at least twice without even knowing it, and he gave me a yellow boarded book that has a fairy coming through a window as to if the fairy is named Tinkerbell I don't know, but most likely it is. I then went around to the new science fiction section and went around it at least two other times but there was one book that I was seriously tempted to get. If I were to show you this fiery helmet

  seen here wouldn't be the only clue I can give without the actual title's name. I did however come across two very new books that wil without a doubt will be read and they are "Only Superhuman" by Christopher Benet and then of there was this one I just knew I had to have since title itself made me just snicker and it's a novel by Phillipa Bornikova which is a fairy new writer to the genre, that title is "This Case is Gonna kill Me" Finally before leaving Barnes and Nobles, I headed out by the graphic novels when something caught the corner of my eye it was a book simply known as "GUTTERS" all I can say about this very huge coffee table size book is I did in a way almost cried while laughing. It was a book that had a comical look at all forms of entertainment media and really made loving that kinda media quite fun, especially when you know that your in dire need of just getting away from everything from in the world that drives one over the edge rather it be work or stuff of any kind and NOT having control of it in anyway. Now I will admit I just told you all the coolness of stuff over these two past nights, and my friend Paul that I was talking about is dying because of liver cancer so if you are praying for him still thank you very much from my heart to yours. now I must also confess in some weirdness that  happen on my walk back home, I had stopped at our local Sonic restaurant on this end of town, there is also one in the city of Pasco Washington over by the movie theater on road sixty eight. I walked on up to where you can order from just walking up and pushing the call button to order and here was the only thing I did order a chocolate banana milkshake and I took a sip of it and thought "wait a minute, this sure isn't a chocolate banana flavored shake it's  banana one for sure....." and it had me baffled for a quick second I was miffed but of course I am never one to hold a grudge for very long, if at all, it turned out to be a Strawberry banana flavored one, which I only took a few sips of to make sure I could have it with some leftover pizza from Pizza Hutt that I got from on Sunday evening.        

Alice vs Alice (pt 3 of 6)

Hello from the depths within the place known as WONDERLAND, 
Okay, Okay, I will be the first to admit I have to get this out of my system because it has been jarring my mindset of just how is it I wish to open chapter three of the real classic tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Zenescope comic adaption take as well in a classic nineteen sixty six Nhua, Nhua, Nhua, Nhua BATMAN Nhua, Nhua opening monologue for of course "A MAD TEA PARTY!" So here now in my best announcer tone let's see where the wind chips fall where they may?  Thus far in the written text of the author known as Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland we have witnessed A child her age is never disclosed as of yet.....is with her elder sister drifting off to la-la land and realizes she has followed a White rabbit into his hole only to find that she can't find her way out 

. So she finds that her curiousness is abound when she starts trying to find her way to a garden behind a door she can't get into.... So far every resident being is projected in that matter of being a animal with more and more questions for little Alice. These very animals so far outside of the rabbit itself have been a over relaxed caterpillar 

to huge puppy and finally a cat that can disappear whenever it wants to. An yet the cat before showing Alice it's form of play had asked the little girl two very important questions which were these....."Do you play croquet with the Queen to-day?" which we will gander at soon but for now let's deal with his first question to her which is this  "In that direction," the cat said , waving its right paw round, "lives the Hatter: and in that direction,"waving his other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're mad."

"But I don't want to go among mad people," the little girl known as Alice remarked. "Oh, you ca'nt help that ," said the Cat: "we're all mad here, I'm mad. You're mad" "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. Now with no where to go but a Tea Party let's us hold up our saucer cups in cheer....... 

It seems by the end of chapter six of the actual tale little Alice had come the abode of the March Hare wishing instead that she had gone right in the way of the Hatter place, when she comes to the Hare abode from the road she sees three subjects crowded around a huge table. It turns out that a man in a top hat and a suit is having tea with another rabbit and between the two of them was a Dormouse fast asleep. As Alice approached the table the two who weren't dozing were additively telling her off, but she came of her own free accord to the table and sat at one end of it, the March Hare then offered her some wine, Alice after seeing nothing on the table but a tea kettle had said "Then it wasn't civil of you to offer it" said Alice angrily. In which the March Hare responded by saying "It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited" Alice then replied with "I didn't know it was your table, it's laid for a great many more than than three." 

 

It was then that only other human outside of the duchess, which had been invited to a croquet game with the Queen in the second part this tale. The human is a man as detailed above that is known as The Mad Hatter. He tells Alice when he first notices her that her hair wants cutting, Alice then snaps at him with this retort "You should learn not to make personal remarks, it's very rude." The Hatter then ask her a riddle "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"  This is truly the only part the whole Alice's tale of it's two stories that makes the reader think because Carroll doesn't answer it. ( I have still been thinking this out myself, because I'm sure there's some kind of a answer) anyway Alice seems to like this game that the Hatter 

 

has posed. When she can't give a answer and they respond with I haven't the foggiest either. The  Hatter and the March Hare start arguing over time and why it always is Tea Time, whilst Alice is annoying getting madder than even she would care for! The Dormouse now finally awake from his nodding off up to this part is asked by the two who surround him and the new guest for a story, rather reluctantly the new guest keeps asking too many questions and storms off from the crazy partiers as she sees the March Hare and the Hatter dunking, well have a look for yourselves is 

all I will say okay?                 

 Now as to the MAD TEA PARTY from Zenescope's view cover wise was sold like these:

In the opening splash page it does seems as if the Mad Hatter is talking to himself? or it at least seems that way?.......when in truth he is talking to the only unknown part of Alice in Wonderland history as far as I know at all?, the one thing I can only guess at is she was the one who was asking questions to the White rabbit about Where Jabberwocky's latest pawn is from last issue!    

She gives the Hatter a very special weapon known as the Death blade, which can kill everything in Wonderland and keep it dead for real! As for what was going on from the past two issues let's let the main gal known as Alice tell us in her own words            , as she talks to a disguised Mad Hatter. After drinking her cup of tea, laced with sleepy mushroom powder Alice comes to find herself in even more fearful a place than either being prized as food for a walrus or a huge purple striped cat, she finds out at a huge table that have three people at it, that she is a bargaining prize of all the animal persona's of Wonderland, itself and still she knows not why.It seems as if the Mad Hatter made a deal with the March Hare for something, and when he doesn't get it, the Hatter starts acting like a certain Batman foe, and leave it at that! Then both he and ol Cheshire are left wondering where that said prize 

went off to?     

Without a wondering clue for sure this will be continued......

     

Alice vs Alice (pt 2 of 6)

........ Previously in the Zenescope's insightful take on the little girl known as Alice all we knew was she had fallen into a strange world where she had reached through by way of 

a Rabbit hole. When she had started hearing sounds of whispers  that turn out to be more than voices from her soul and rather from her own noggin she knew that at first glance that she had to let her curiousness guide her especially 

 

when she decided a dream is always better than dealing with the reality of the real world.......  And now she maybe regretting that very choice when all of the animals wanna do is treat her as their next little ham on rye wherever she turns..... We now will follow her through a place known as Wonderland in part two of Raven Gregory's twisted take of Alice in Wonderland! Here is the cover to the second part of his yarn of the six part comic 

.  There is one big thing beside Alice's quest of staying sane, that happens throughout this issue and that is the little mystery of just whose pawn piece is the White Rabbit

  , for he seems to suffer as much as Alice herself does as he brings Wonderland's inhabitants together for a party. He happen to have the Chershire's help in finding Alice for the creature known as 

Jabberwocky. Alice in the meanwhile, is learning other effects of Mushrooms in this place known as Wonderland as she convinces the walrus not to have her as his meal 

, than just what the  White Rabbit did to Jabby in issue #1 which was he used it to put him to sleep. She also learns how the walrus was a scientist named Tiberius and how he like her saw a rabbit while finding out this dreamworld they are in, while 

 

going with him to actually find some food to eat. It is when she ask him about the Rabbit that things go let just say a wee bit insane for she hides in closet while the walrus is killed by a unknown man who the walrus called a friend. Alice herself comes out of the closet and picks up the man's mallet and beats his right leg out of commission, she runs away 

 ,while the man is cut to pieces by Chershy. To any place that might be safe.......  

Now on to the original story called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, in part one I told you all of Alice falling into the rabbit hole into Wonderland and took you up to the first three chapters of the story. Which when she is finally in the area of the door that has the garden behind it, she is alone again for she talks of he cat to animals birds, and mouse, and even a  a crab
 











(don't ask me what that sea animal would fear from a feline....) and not down a rabbit's home looking at a set of doors as a way back into the real world. When I first wrote about "A new take on miss Alice" was when I had started falling into Wonderland myself. I went to Branes and Nobles and after getting this comic trade on 

that given Saturday which twas he last Saturday in July I had got this copy 
of Lewis Carroll's original story the very next day. So for part two of the original story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will consist of chapters four through six. So enough with recapping of how my Alice fix got started alright......

In chapter four Alice sees the White Rabbit for the actual second time as he comes to her again he calls her "Mary Ann" and wonders why she is mistaken for his housemaid, while he is looking now for the Duchess, he has Alice help him fetch his white gloves and fan at his abode which gets Alice to thinking of yet once again her feline pet known as Dinah ordering her around and though she doesn't want do it, it is still here childlike mind that must know what the rabbit end goal is. She follows to where he guides her which is a little house that has a door with bright brass plate with the name "W.RABBIT" engraved upon it, she enters the house and runs upstairs to find the gloves and the fan before she would hopefully NOT run into the real Mary Ann.(One may wonder if Marry Ann, could have been a girlfriend that Dodgson knew before he took up the pen name Lewis Carroll I'm just curious as to if anyone who dwells deeply into the writing of this may come to that bit of insight or maybe it's just me, because in the Disney animated film the rabbit also calls her Mary Ann so your left wondering if she is real at all is what I'm getting at?) So once Alice is the room of the rabbit's abode she finds not only what she's looking for but also on the very table as well another little bottle that stood near the looking glass, (as to if this scene itself point out the title of Alice's second book I'm not really sure on that, but when I read the text to me that just instantly popped into my head I just wanted all to know that! The main difference of this very bottle and the one that stood on the three legged glass table from when the story starts is this one doesn't have a label on it that says "DRINK ME" so because every time something interesting happens to her when she consumes the liquids in this world she decides to gulp it down and when she does she grows alright so big that she ends up struck in the very room she now can't get out of at all, and she was sad again but in the way of fear as the rabbit and his friends which by how they are described are a gofer, a lizard, try to help the rabbit get the little girl who is a thousand feet tall in height out of his house they or rather the rabbit use logic that at last perhaps they should burn down his home. Alice told them she would sick her cat on them if she did  get burned up but this time the animals went scarred for what fear could a feline strike in these animals.Alice heard the rabbit say "A barrow ful will do to start with" She was more perplexed now as to what they were planing to get her out of the house, and realized from her size they were firing little stones at her which turn out to be small cakes she ate them and shrunk in size again to what she was when she first ate the cakes from before she fell into her own saltwater tears from before. Now she went off without thanking these many animals of helping her out of her plight, and headed off into the woods and into eventually the lovely garden she wanted to be apart of when she came across a huge puppy who wanted nothing to do but play, she pick up a tiny stick after hiding from him because she thought he would eat her (boy all the animals of Wonderland weather in comic form or narrative form want to eat poor little Alice did you notice that too.) After wearing the pooch away from her Alice, was soon to meet a very thoughtful changing animal character next. At the start of chapter five of the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland the little girl known as Alice meets a as I said just above a animal that changes forms, now I won't put you through the brain wracking search of guessing how many animals do tend to go through a metamorphosis to a new appearance of form as well 
, it happen to be that the very first changing animal little Alice meets up with in the outskirts of the garden is the Caterpillar (which is the one reason a lot people don't read this book to children today) all in all of all the animals Alice must relate with in wonderland is the most scariest for he represents a part of the real world that people wish be forgotten: Drugs.  In the middle of the two them chatting about size being of importance Alice tells the caterpillar a poem she recalls of that she remembers when he had just asked her whom she was it's as if the caterpillar in a way is not only her guide of wisdom before she finds it herself, but he is the only one to give her full attention. The poem by the way is about what the mouse was explaining to all the other animals that came out of the saltwater tears of Alice's own making when she had first entered a dark hallway with many doors in it from chapter two: Which was about politics of  William the conquer, but this time it was from Al;ice's thougts and not someone esle's. The caterpillar says she is out of line because he likes his own way of thinking ...... but offer her a easier way to change her size with either end of a mushroom, she just has to remember which side will make her big and which side will make her small and besides it's better than marked or unmarked bottle of mystery liquid that shrink her size and cakes that make her ginormous. She then goes in search of the rabbit again but first finds two odd dressed animals of a fish and a frog looking for the Dutchess and even though we still don't know who the Dutchess is we know why the rabbit is looking for her in part and that is she whoever she is is invited to play a game of croquet with the queen in the sixth chapter titled "Pig & Pepper". Alice laughs and giggles as she sees the two water related creatures get their hair pieces entangled for both are wearing powdered hair that curled all over each head of the two water biased animals but she was hiding in the woods at the time because of her fear of them hearing her. After the fish leaves she goes to knock on the door and before she does the frog is there asking her riddles, it at this point that Alice was thinking to herself "ARE ALL the creatures I encounter crazy" The frog gave her a choice of either waiting outside or going into the house while he waited for nothing to do, Alice goes into the house and meets the said Dutchess whom is making soup of some kind and ask Alice about the Cheshire-Cat and something about a Pig. Then the Dutchess when Alice responded "what is a Cheshire -Cat?"didn't answer Alice's inquiry right away the cook who was making soup for the Dutchess and her baby that she was holding started throwing everything from fire irons then saucepans, plates and finally dishes. As these came towards her the Dutchess took no notice whatsoever, this worried Alice and she grabbed the baby not know what it was and ran into the woods......it was then up on a tree branch in the woods that she met 

the Cheshire-Cat that the Dutchess spoke of? When the cat was done asking her questions of such as if she would  be playing at the Queen's game Alice had just found the baby she had saved turned out to be that of a pig. She responded to the cat's question very politely that "I'd love to, but I haven't been invited yet." The cat then gives her another thing to ponder over as it disappeared from it's tail first to it's smiling grin.It is after this that she believes she is headed toward the March Hair's house talking to herself as she approaches "Suppose it should be raving mad after all! I almost wish I'd gone to see the Hatter instead!"                                            
Will things be "RAVING MAD" at a certain party???? Be here or with a special TOP HAT to find out better yet just bring the Tea and see for yourselves?  
To be continued.......


 

Alice vs Alice (pt 1 of 6)

Hello to all who know of the world of the White Rabbit and his pals, Now I know that the very first thing coming into your train of thought is how in the world are you going make a comparison of such a old fairy tale in any form when think of the little girl seen here

 is who Charles Luntwide Dodgson actual inspiration for the little blonde haired girl known simply as Alice. Her name was Alice Liddell and she lived from May fourth, eighteen fifty two till November sixteenth, nineteen thirty four, boy you know it really wasn't all that far away in time that both of my parents were born a few years later after the woman whom was the influence for the Alice of the two Lewis Caroll books, yet I do know that my father Micheal Joe Byrd had that very same day as his birthday too. Even though Dodgeson penned the written words of Alice's tales he did not illustrate either story, from the time Alice fell into the Rabbit hole 

, the drawings were provided by Sir John Tenniel a popular graphic humorist and political cartoonist whom lived in  Kensington London in eighteen twenty, and eventual time moved to the United Kingdom part before his death in nineteen fourteen.  One of many jobs that lead Dodgeson to create Alice in the first place was that he babysat kids while working as a photographer when he first met the Liddell family in eighteen fifty six, he meanwhile finishes his mathematics masters associate degree a year later from the Christ church of Oxford in which while lecturing on the subject  was when he came up with the word known more as a character in "Through the looking glass" :Jabberwocky. In Alice's Adventures in WONDERLAND it starts out as any story does with the main character Alice dozing off  while pondering why being a grown up person matters......when she'd rather focus on kid thoughts about making a daisy chain out a set of those follows. Now remember she is sleeping when she sees the White Rabbit

  for the first time, and decides to see where he is off to in mainly because he of what he is wearing is what most puzzling so on she followed him to his hole. A moment later Alice finds herself what she thinks in her mind as peering into the hole from above ground to be that she is falling into what can't be possible the rabbit's dug out home, and it turns out that she is still falling into what seems more like a well than a hole in the ground dug up by a furry creature with fluffy ears as she falls she notices that cupboards and bookshelves and maps are appearing everywhere and anywhere around her. (Note it is only in the Disney version that her cat Dinah falls with her in the nineteen fifty one, remember Disney made one more actuate to what I talking about here 

by Tim Burton in two thousand and eleven at least to some degree).  Alice after some thoughts on her loving feline finally reaches the bottom of whatever the rabbit hole really is again viewing the White Rabbit she tired to follow him only to find she was in a long hallway, that had many doors that were locked she came upon a three legged table made of glass and on it was a tiny golden key to open a door but which one for Alice hadn't found the door the key would fit or at least not as of yet. Wherever she was rabbit hole or well it was dark, and she was scarred, but at the door she was at she had tried the golden key only once when she did it a second time the door opened into a even stranger world than either a well or a hole at all. She peeked inside the locked door and saw a garden full of bright flowers. She then turn back to the three legged table hoping to find another way to look at what she sought through the whole other door that stood in her way, but found when she reached her hand out to what was on the table she found a tiny bottle with a note "DRINK ME" on it at first she hesitated thinking it maybe poison then went all in an drank what was in the bottle and grew tiny. All of sudden she realized she forgot the golden to unlock the door which she thought was on that glass table she began to cry and found instead on the table a glass box with a whole cake that said "EAT ME" on the outside note. She grew again but this too big she was able to grab the golden key but then what was to happen next would dare scare any child real or fictionalized. She had thought for a moment that she had heard the rabbit coming again but so unsure she recited her multiplication tables and figure out poems all while still having tears because she had no idea of how to get through the door to the garden or out of the dark hallway that lead only to the opening of what brought her here in the first place. For because being so over thoughtful she didn't realize she had fallen into her own saltwater known as tears, and all sudden she starts seeing a mouse float by then other animals as well from birds to crabs she was then thinking maybe I'll wash up on a beach, it turns out the mouse could talk and Alice could understand him so the mouse help guide all the other animals the way that Alice lead to shore wherever it might be! At last they had found a bank and were deciding how to dry themselves off before they got sick 

or at least Alice anyway. Alice while wading with the animals asked the mouse "why it is afraid of a cat or a dog?" but came to hear nothing of what the mouse had said in response they were all ready to get dry when a bird known as the Dodo asked of what shall be the prizes if there is a way to dry off, wouldn't you know it there has to be a prize hog everywhere how shameful is that? well anyway so there was a race an Alice offered up the prizes of thimbles all the animals were to say the least a bit miffed at this new visitor in their world and they all left poor little Alice alone once again..... In part one of the Zenescope produce comic look of Alice in Wonderland seen here

Alice doesn't have a sister she resides with but rather her grandparents, as to which parent of hers that they raised I do not yet know? She is talking with them about being scarred of something near a big hole in tree. Her grandfather says "Don't be afraid Alice, but sometimes in life we have to do stuff we just don't want to do and that's the way things are okay?"  She enter the knot hole in the tree to find out it is a tunnel to what she doesn't yet know? but at the end of the tunnel she sees a shadow of a rabbit while at the same time hearing faint voices calling out to her. When she reaches the shadow it does turn out to be a White Rabbit and he leads her to a room full of big doors, she asks "What are you doing?" he responses "NOT ME. Gravity" she then starts to hear another voice coming from the rabbit asking "Sometimes she likes to play" and Alice says while upside down now "And what if I don't want to play?"

and then she falls even further through space till she ses a mirror reflection of herself and she meets a green worm like monster that is the aforementioned character from Dodgeson's working lecture from eighteen fifty seven the Jabberwocky. They make a deal what it all entails I don't know this yet, but what I do know is he drops Alice right the middle of Wonderland again this time Alice is a preteen by the looks of her appearance of the aging of the character and that is the ever so constant thing that always is the only thing that does change oh one tiny thing more by the end of part one of the comic story eveything from the famed Cheshire cat to walrus from "Through the looking glass wants tasty little Alice as a meal to consume.........
