The Hatter and the March Hare

The Hatter and the March Hare, an etching by JVL, which was eventually coloured and included in the 'specials' edition of  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Artists' Choice Editions, 2009.

 The Text:

  `Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very
earnestly.
  `I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone, `so
I can't take more.'
  `You mean you can't take LESS,' said the Hatter:  `it's very
easy to take MORE than nothing.'
  `Nobody asked YOUR opinion,' said Alice.
  `Who's making personal remarks now?' the Hatter asked
triumphantly.
  Alice did not quite know what to say to this:  so she helped
herself to some tea and bread-and-butter...
