So, as some of you are aware, many small, simple things tend to irritate me to a nigh irrational extent. This is one of those things.
People who keep drawing the Jabberwock with muttonchops. Or spikes, or fins, on his face. I recently watched the new Alice in Wonderland movie and the Jabberwock in that film looked like someone saw muttonchops and decided they weren't "warped" enough (granted, he is also wearing a sweater vest) so they gave it Fing Fang Foom fins instead. The only reason for putting them on there would be if they misinterpreted the original drawing to have muttonchops. It doesn't.
Here, look at this giant sized image.

Its an easy mistake to make, right? Not if you look at it for more than a single second. What people mistake for facial hair is actually light beaming out of the Jabberwock's eyes. If you aren't convinced, look at his hands which are covered with ACTUAL hair like huge tarantula legs, and then look at the face again.
See?
As cute as this is, it is total horseshit.
Aw shit, this guy knows what I'm talking about.
Anyway, I just felt like getting that off my chest. It annoys me because if you're going to do a cool version of a classic, you should do your research instead of just being a wanker. Put thought into it. Its like someone doing a cover version of a song but not actually figuring out what the lyrics are so they just sing the misheard stuff they think it says.
Okay, thats all.
