And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!


My take on the beloved Jabberwocky.

Tempesta Says:

That poem has creeped me out ever since I read it long ago in a 6th grade english class. Something about the incoherent old-world slang or made up words, and the mental picture you get of the Jabberwock. Gah... *shiver*

Sweet take on the monster! I like how the tail coils around the wrist, and how carnal the whole thing is.

Radical JoJo Says:

Vorpally awesome.

Vurmin Says:

Ooooooo I want one of THOSE mommy!

One Two One Two
And Through and Through
The Vorpal Blade Went Snickersnack
He Left It Dead
And With Its Head
He Went Gallumphing Back



I loved that book so much.

TheSpaniard Says:

One of the collest Jabbers ever.

FyreNWater Says:

this one looks WAY better than the illustration in the book. personally i felt the one in the book (i'unno which version, but it was a combo of Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass) was disgustingly ugly. this one's pretty... ::pets it::
the blank glowy eyes!
