Peakeing too early?

I’ve been having another go at Mervyn Peake. As a copy this is far from perfect, but not for want of effort in my part. This is his realisation of the Walrus and the Carpenter. For me there’s echoes of the Tenniel original in that slabby chin of the Carpenter, although the elongated body is quite different. As is the walrus. What I like about Peake’s Walrus is, with his pinstriped trousers, there is a little more of the sly conman about him than there is in Tenniel’s, where he is, to all intents and purposes, just a walrus.
