Another great mail from a reader:
What I found most tiresome is that re-interpreting Alice/Looking Glass has already been done fifty gajillion times by artists low on creative juices. The phrase "a surreal interpretation of Lewis Carrol's..." should be banned from our creative lexicon. It's sad that rarely do these takes on Alice pick up on the interesting aspects of the book (the satire of British high manners, politics, and academia; the wordplay and clever jokes). Jeff Noon's _Automated Alice_ may be the only take that comes close to respecting or cleverly adding anything to the mythos.
I'm happy that Oz at least provides a *new* universe to plunder, but your comic pretty accurately reveals McGee as a possible one-trick pony. It's all fun and games until we get American McGee's Chronicles Of Narnia.
