So I went to the Calgary Comic Expo today. Only the second time I have gone to this yearly thing. I don't know what you think but this may be my new favorite picture. Jeff Goldblum was as Glorious to meet as I had imagined and this picture perfectly captures it. #jeffgoldblum

The red headed league to me is poking fun at the intelligence of those with that trait. Unwarranted. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

The fact that Adler outsmarted Holmes kind of proves that this shrine that Watson has built for him is unwarranted. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

The frequency of Watson being fooled by Holmes' disguises lends me to think he isn't the keen eye he thinks he is. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Alice's talking to the White King about seeing his messengers alludes to different meanings of seeing someone. The literal and the layered approach to such. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Humpty Dumpty can make words do anything he wants. Really relates to semiotics and how meaning is within the person and not the word itself. Really needs a deconstructive reading. #ENGL519

The un-birthday in Through The Looking Glass appears to be yet another reluctance to growing older. Freezing time. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Wandering into the woods Alice forgets her name. To me this is like saying as we wander into life we change and become different people and in some ways loose who we were. Something to be afraid of. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

In looking glass world Alice needs to do things backward to go forward. Basically suggesting that Victorian era is backwards. Allusions to Lacan's mirror stage here somewhat. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Alice's going through the looking glass. Seems like she is continuously trying to leave her world. A world of imagination is preferable. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

The Mock Turtle and his explained schooling is mocking the schooling of the Victorian era. Saying it only lessens..... #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Painting the roses red to me is like parallel to how when one grows up how hard it is to conform. The cards and the painting demonstrate this pressure. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Time is a him and not an it. Definitely connects to the saying of Father Time. However I think it is apt in showing people are not disconnected from time but one with it. Almost time itself. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Alice's change in size shows how size changes perception and how when we grow up how that happens. Seems like a resistance to growing up here. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Following directions...... Eat me and Drink me in Alice in Wonderland....... Represents the absurdities of following directions of others. Alice is truly running away from what she knows. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Alice in Wonderland. To me the white rabbit is like a white lie. Therefore a prelude that everything to come after is not real. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

"A good wife is Heaven's last best gift to man." Then why is she "his casket of jewels. Wealth with death . #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Too much familiarity can effect the destruction of friendship. "Mrs Beeton's" gives no recourse to let one's hair down ever. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

Recreation is only intended to sharpen the mind of The Mistress. I guess up keeping the house is the only important thing. Her life is duty. Oh how times have changed. #ENGL519

[Andrew Lane @AnLane1232001]

"Strength and honour are her clothing." I cannot think of many better openings to a book than this. Begins with putting The Mistress on a pedestal of sorts in "Mrs. Beetons". #ENGL519
