Eric In Wonderland
Synopsis:
When Eric makes the mistake of borrowing one of Hippie Dave's special cigarettes he finds himself taking a trip (sorry, adventure) hell never forget. He meets the Queen of Hearts (looking strangley like Madge), a grinning Cheshire Cat who reminds him of Hippie Dave, a rock band called the Mad Hatters who are trashing their own tea party, and several people qualified to play Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. All this and a host of psychedelic 60s songs to make the whole experience more bearable.
