Panel 1: Casey and Rahim are at the Davies College Winter Ball, which has a very obvious Alice in Wonderland
theme, complete with giant playing cards on the wall and costumed
students going around quoting the book. Casey and Rahim are in suits.
Behind them, we see a young man dressed as the White Rabbit and Wendy
as the Queen of Hearts. Rahim: Congratulations on finishing your Ph.D. in three-and-a-half years... White Rabbit: I'm late! Panel 2: The Mad Hatter walks past Wendy. Rahim: ...without, apparently, doing any work at all... Wendy: Off with their heads! Panel 3: Now the background is populated by a white chess piece (probably the White Queen), a young woman in a slinky black dress, and a young man with a handlebar moustache. Rahim: ...or giving any indication that you regard this as a major milestone. Man: And the mome raths outgrabe. Panel 4: A young woman dressed as Alice and a young man in a suit look at the giant playing cards on the wall. Barbara, in street clothes, comes up behind Casey. Rahim: I trust this year's Winter Ball theme is adding a certain emphasis to my words. Barbara: Oh, we all know Casey belongs through the looking glass. Alice: And it really was a kitten, after all. Alt-Text: It is possible that "Jabberwocky" is actually about Casey Mulligan. To be fair, we would never know if it were. Go to commentary |
