  1. SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO! “Dumb Angel (live)” youtube.com/watch?v=1adaRT-TVpU A 2002 live take of my surrealistic pop song that I wrote after a dream that included Brian Wilson, Lewis Carroll, and Elvis Presley. In my dream they all made an appearance where I grew up in the backwater Appalachian village of Avis PA.

  2. 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.

  3. My most important Snark finding (#ReligSnark):
    In his #illustration (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.

  4. 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" (thecarrollian.org.uk/cgi-bin/a, Issue 31, 2018).

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