I like the fact the hatter is the most sensible here, though I am dubious that this can be so. An… interesting answer, and a fun, most definitely curious, set up.

First I facepalmed. Then I laughed at your portrayal of Alice’s innocence.

However, I am thinking that rational thought from the Mad Hatter is a little to impossible.

Have you not read my work? Is it possible to accuse Osama BinLilac in cluedo? Is it possible to be so unlucky as to pick up four conscutive bits of incriminating evidence? Use your imagination. The crazy people ask rational questions, the rational person asks a stupid question.

touche, Mr. Wift, touche.

Ah, an encounter with The Thinker methinks? Nice reference to 19th Century French sculpture – feels like the kind of subtle cultural nods Carroll used in the books…

Your justification for the characterisation is intriguing, and I applaud you for it – bravo for sticking by your guns!

A little disjointed perhaps – maybe it could have done with some more scene-setting to let it flow better?

But well done, and thanks for entering! MH :)

In my head, ponderland is essentially a big grey nothiny-anythingy-everything. There is no scene to set. In the 4th and 7th paragraphs, I thought I portrayed the indescribability of ponderland.

Oh, and I’m glad someone picked up on the The Thinker refernce. I thought it was a fitting semblance for the ponderer.

I really like the title and the ending made me laugh. I love your answer.

wift, you know i like it!

Hah! Very nicely done. Highly enjoyable punchline.

Correction in Swift’s comment!!! (Man. I love correcting.) I think you mean consecutive not concutive. Facepalm yourself!
This is the best story you’ve written. Nice.

Aye, it’s a typo. I’m not doing anything about it though.

This is some delicious nonsense. Of course, if you ask a silly question, then you get a silly answer, right? I also felt a little Wizard of Oz influence here too. Good answer and a wonderful romp!
