I believe that “Jabberwocky” is an adjective. The creature is a “Jabberwock”. The Tim Burton movie got this wrong (for this mistake I blame the screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, who certainly had a strong vision for the retelling but seems to me not to have been a very strong Carroll scholar). My advice: read the original, a classic that rewards repeated rereading.

The drawing of the Jabberwocky is amazing. I continue to love this strip.

According to Lewis Carroll, “frumious” is a portmanteau of “fuming” and “furious.”
It’s much more “cartoony,” but I like that Tatulli based his drawing of the Jabberwock on Tenniel’s original.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Those snax seem not to be frumiating at all. If I ask for frumious, I’m expecting fire and smoke.

Frumious Bandersnatch are native to Jinx.

I recognized the Frumious Bandersnatch immediately from the original. It pays to be well read.

Hmmm. A happy jabberwocky is no better than a menacing one.

Looks more like a Jabberwock than a Bandersnatch.
