Anche i supereroi festeggiano il Natale, e a volte lo fanno in compagnia di Babbo Natale: andiamo a scoprire i segreti del “postino” più veloce della Terra!

Apparently it is #MadHatterDay , so a good excuse to remind folks that Gormenghast creator Mervyn Peake also did some splendid Alice in Wonderland illustrations

In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll (Reverend C.L. Dodgson) might have used the "Baker" as a reference to Thomas Cranmer.

In line 241 the Baker says: "You may charge me with murder..." I think that Carroll had mixed feelings about Cranmer.

1864-02-08: To #RichardBethell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bethell,_1st_Baron_Westbury), the #ThirtyNineArticles were "meagre and disjointed extracts" from #ThomasCranmer's #FortyTwoArticles (https://snrk.de/meagre-and-disjointed-extracts/). #LewisCarroll (the Deacon #Dodgson) objected especially to the 42th article in the Forty-TwoArticles.

My most important Snark finding (#ReligSnark):
In his #illustration (https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#561) to fit#8 of #LewisCarroll's #tragicomedy "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876), #HenryHoliday hid a pictorial reference to the print "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" (published by Thomas Jenner, c. 1630). The attached image shows
(1) the print (containing a depiction of #ThomasCranmer's burning) with a comment from a curator of the #BritishMuseum and
(2) my image comparison.

The last paragraphs of "Life, Eternity,and Everything: Hidden #Eschatology in the Works of Lewis Carroll", pp. 25-41 by Karen Gardiner in "The Carrollian" (http://thecarrollian.org.uk/cgi-bin/abc.pl?TYPE=Author&ID=Gardiner,%20Karen&BACK=B, Issue 31, 2018).

Karen Gardiner's paper is one of the best articles I ever read about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark. Regrettably, https://lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk/ didn't make it available online yet.

As this is about Henry Holiday's Snark, I (#GötzKluge) am not the artist in this instance for creators, even though sometimes I draw something. (My neighbours said that I drew my #tröte better than I tooted it.)

"Tröte" is German slang for #trumpet.
