About
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the "literary nonsense" genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.
1961
In 1961, Angela gets upset at Alice because she has brought only useless things with her to Coyote Sands instead useful items like clothes and food. A thick textbook, with Alice in Wonderland labeled on the cover, is among the objects Alice brought.
Years later, Claire finds the book jacket for Alice in Wonderland, and realizes that she can't remember the last book she read. She sadly remarks how she was trying so hard to grow up fast. Later, Angela wakes up in a Coyote Sands bunker and finds a copy of Alice In Wonderland (without the book jacket). After that, at Lila Mae's, Nathan gives Angela the copy of Alice In Wonderland as Peter tells them, "This isn't a company, it's a family."

- Originally, Jason Badower drew a different version of the Cheshire Cat for The Trip, Part 1. In Jason's original version, the cat was removing his scalp.
