The Jabberwock #2

The original post is here. See also under Max Klinger's glove series, the most closely related is here.

This just in: New York City Residents are advised to keep an eye open for Salfon the Roofcleaner this week.

The Shadow of the Jabberwock

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

The "Beamish Boy" is only seen from the back in the Tenniel illustration, here I have pictured him as a youth of about 14. This was set to post originally yesterday morning before I got the Alice shadow picture from Laurie - interesting that we came up with similar themes - but the post-ahead feature on blogger does not appear to be working for me.
