This digital drawing depicts Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat flaunting the true identity of Robert Munsch's Paper Bag Princess. Only Elizabeth's slippers, belt & crown remain of her royal garb following a fiery visit from the proverbial dragon. Is she on her way to save Price Ronald from the beast? She is clearly embarrassed to have nothing to wear but a brown paper bag. Perhaps the Cat is trying to teach her a lesson in humility. Or did she wander into Wonderland, a place where nothing makes sense?
