Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

An interesting and tragic circumstance, my dear friend. The truth about the Reverend Charles Dodgson, commonly known as Lewis Carroll, is that nobody really knows the truth about him. Claims on his personal life and habits are largely speculative or based on ill founded sources; little is known about him outside of his works, and his relationship with the Liddells is one that is hard to decipher through the veil of time.

The only disgrace to classical literature in this case is the dismissal of beautiful and culturally essential material through ignorance. I advise that you direct your teacher to read more upon the subject, I particularly recommend ‘Alice in Sunderland’ by Brain Talbot; a fine graphic novel that presents the facts and context of history around the author’s life without being too greatly biased.

I might add that it may be the fault of representatives such as myself that have led to an increasingly skeptical view on such an eminent figure of literature, and for that I can only apologize to Mr Dodgson.

Although, if your tutor does not take to any of this reasoning, I’m sure I would be glad to make arrangements with you on the method of her ‘departing’.

Not reblogging to reblog my own stuff, but this sort of thing actually makes my blood boil.

TL:DR - I fucking hate censorship.

Nobody who does this deserves to call themselves a teacher.
