There was originally a Bandersnatch in the frame, but they couldn’t quite catch it.

Reportedly so, yes. Very frumious.

It’s been a long time since I read Alice and a couple years since I last read the Snark, but for some reason I remember Carroll’s bandersnatch being green. Doesn’t Alice see a flash of something green speedily disappearing over a hill or something? Maybe I’m remembering a derivative work.

For some reason, at this moment I have this strong urge to consume yogurt, raw milk, and bee pollen.
