" Roger Langridge has discussed Snarked, his forthcoming Kaboom! series. The all-ages comic for Boom Studios&amp;#039; new kids imprint is inspired by the works of Alice in Wonderland writer Lewis Carroll. Langridge told Comics Alliance: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d been toying with the idea of doing a web strip, gag-a-day format, with The Walrus and the Carpenter; I&amp;#039;d long wanted to do an adaptation of The Hunting of the Snark; and I was keen on the idea of trying my hand at some kind of original long, epic story. &amp;quot;When Boom! asked me if I had any kid-friendly ideas lying around, I couldn&amp;#039;t think of a single thing for a couple of weeks. It was ages before it occurred to me that I could mash all of those things together.&amp;quot; Langridge continued: &amp;quot;Nonsense and surrealism never get old; even if some of the specific references are Victorian, the fact that Carroll&amp;#039;s work is set in a kind of timeless world keeps it from feeling too dated. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been a huge fan of the absurdist/surrealist streak that runs through British comedy, as in Monty Python and the Goons - that worldview is a constant presence in my comics - so that meshes with Carroll&amp;#039;s sensibility fairly seamlessly.&amp;quot; Langridge is also working on an adaptation of John Carter: A Princess of Mars for Marvel Comics. Snarked #0 will be released in August.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
