Description
"The name's Ulliver.""Gulliver?"
"Ulliver."
"Oliver?"
"No, Ulliver!"
Poor Ulliver. I want to rewrite Alice in Wonderland with this guy in the title role. There would be some major divergences of plot (as far as plot goes in that story anyway). For one thing, I think he'd hold on to the baby-turned-pig out of some sense of horrified responsibility... and I don't think he'd take those bits of mushroom from the drugged out caterpillar, which would really put him in trouble at the end...
I'd illustrate it with watercolor/black ink drawings like this, cause these are funnn!

Thank you! And yes I am, I really have no special pens (though I'd love to get my hands on some...).

Oh No!
Wonderland has claimed another victim! however, this should be interesting. (I've looked at this before, but I guess it didn't register until now)

It's on hold for now, because NaNoWriMo is next month.

Ulliver, Ulliver...
do I smell some Na-No to be?
Badgie's keeping an eye out.

I don't know about Ulliver, since the plot is already there it might be tough to write it for a month... but of course we'll see.

Of course. Anyway, I believe badgie concetrates essentially on past works.

I don't know the character, but it sounds like it would make a good story. I will read it if you write it.

The character is mine, he's not from anything.

I really have to go through your gallery again and look at your original characters. They look so awesome.

Haha! This sounds like a great idea (especially regarding his keeping the baby-turned-pig. That's one of my favorite parts of Alice!)!
Interestingly, though, I had to think about the Gulliver reference, as in my brain, his name sounded like "Ooliver."

I figured that little exchange was also a good way of establishing the correct pronunciation.
Thanks! I think that having to carry/protect a disgruntled piglet with him everywhere would certainly be a strange twist for the story.

Yes! Yesyesyesyes you should! And judging from the description, I already love this guy (especially if he keeps the baby--that was one part of the book that really made me hate Alice).

Ha ha ha! I just remember all these terrible dreams I've had where I was trying to protect my cat or a baby or something and it kept turning into frailer and frailer things, like a cooked chicken, or a piece of wet toilet paper... those dreams were so frustrating! The whole baby-pig thing strikes a bit of a chord with me as a result.

now THAT will be awesome! If you rewrite that the way I think you'll do (with your incredible sense of humor), that will probably be one of my favorite stories!
I can't even imagine what will happen when he meets the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. Poor Ulliver, he'll never be sane again...

I was always a little let-down by Alice's responses to some of the things that happened, especially in the Disney movie... she seemed like such a wet blanket in that! She's much better in the book, more like a little kid, but I still think it would be nifty to get a new perspective.

I think Disney's movie ruined the book completely! They removed a lot of passages (like the Baby-turned-pig and the gryphon) and altered dialogs. Tim Burton is making a movie based on Alice, I hope he does a good job as usual.
As for your idea, I agree that a new approach to the plot would be interesting. Alice (even in the book) seems a little dumb many times during her conversations.

I'm rather excited about the Burton movie too.

I think the movie will be great, if Tim applies his usual dark mood in it!
Good luck with your story!

Haha, Ulliver is an awesome name! Though... it would get mistaken a lot, like you said.

I see, Ulliver... 
Hey, this sounds like an epic project!

I think Ulliver is his first name, actually. And thanks, I'm glad it appeals to you!

oh I love this watercolor look you've been doing! And this idea is marvelous! If possible, you should totally publish.

I think I would publish it if I did it, at least on lulu or amazon or something.

Isabelle and I are both laughing at the rightmost one. She says that he's saying, "What's that strange girl looking at my hair for? Do I have a flyaway?"
*shake-head-laughing*

Oh Isabelle and her hair fixation!
Actually I think he's thinking something along the lines of: "What, my head? Off with... my head?!"

No head cutty-offy! No no no! It'll ruin his hai--

I'm obsessed with anything related to Alice in Wonderland. So I'd read it!

I would also so totally read this. XD The watercolor looks lovely, too.

Thank you!
There seems to be a lot of interest in this idea.

Nice. I think you'd give Disney a run for their hiding places... and then lawyers, but that's OK!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know, I'm pretty sure "Alice" is public domain by now, if nobody's bought up the copyrights... If someone has, I doubt very much that it's Disney.

Hey, just being careful. You NEVER want to fight with The Mouse. He's got a keyblade.
