Description
For those who don't know both works, well or at all, this is a mash-up of the cartoon series Extreme Ghostbusters and Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. It was very ambitious and took me a very long time to do it to the best of my ability.

The original inspiration here was an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, in which this happened to the titular character (I do not at all know why the same thing has now happened to Kylie). I have copied the Alice costume worn by Tina Majorino in the 1999 TV movie, my favourite Alice in Wonderland adaptation, which is altogether very Tennielian; so is the Hatter's half-guinea price label, which quite obviously he can never do without. Aside from these things, I have tried to steer away from John Tenniel's original illustrations and do my own thing. The title is (of course!) in homage to Lewis Carroll's first draft working title, Alice's Adventures Underground, and was suggested by my brother Jake.

Developing Roland into the March Hare was one of the hardest challenges I have ever set myself! He's only even in that role because (typical of how one treats Old Reliable) they were left for each other. Garrett as the Mad Hatter just feels right, and Slimer is a nice size for the Dormouse. Pagan as the Cheshire Cat was glaringly obvious. Egon and Janine had to be a king/queen pair (if only to satisfy certain persons), and my first thoughts were with the Queen of Hearts (à la Sabrina). However, once I realised that Eduardo had to be Kylie's White Knight, I also realised I needed more from Through the Looking-Glass (and, more specifically, the chess game). Red was preferable to white for a number of reasons, perhaps chief among which was that there is something potentially very interesting in the sleeping Red King, and Alice/Kylie being 'only a sort of thing in his dream'.

(If you believe the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts are the same character, please allow me to tell you that this is a misconception. If you won't be told this, please, I do not want to know anything about it. Thank you.)
