Trivia / The Hunting of the Snark

• Referenced by...:
  • Conway's Game of Life has patterns named the boojum, the Snark, and the Bandersnatch.
  • The Marvel Universe has an alien species called the Snarks, primarily known for being the enemies of the Power Pack, named in reference to the poem.
  • The witch Alice Kuonji's most powerful Ploy Kickshaw is an unfathomably old creature known as Flat Snark in Witch on the Holy Night. The protagonist Aoko explicitly name-drops both Carroll and this story when discussing where the Snark originated because the only way to defeat it is taking on the Baker role and discovering where it's hidden itself.
• What Could Have Been: An illustration of the Boojum was made by Carroll's illustrator, looking like a horrifying fish monster◊, but Carroll turned it down, noting that it'd be more fun to leave its appearance to the reader's imagination.
