We've reached the end of Fit the Fourth and before Fit the Fifth, the so-called Pons Asinorum of The Hunting of the Snark, we must stop and ask ourselves …
Just who was Lewis Carroll (seen above)?
Was he a fun kind of guy with a penchant for Nonsense?
Was he the Eminent Victorian who penned The Hunting of the Snark and thus put a full stop to the western tradition of epic poetry?
Was he a dab hand at photography?
Did he put the proto in Protosurrealism?
Or … was he the stooge of a certain maths tutor at Christ Church, the Rev. C.L. Dodgson (seen above), who let Carroll do all the creative work whilst he cashed the rather substantial royalty checks?
Who was Lewis Carroll?
He was just this guy, you know?
