Tony is a friend of Charles Dodgson.  His son is a standout baseball player, but while Tony is proud of him for his accomplishments, he is also jealous of him as he is better than he is.  Tony feels as though his son is always showing off, and intends to teach him how to be a real man.  Some years ago, Tony's father did the same and was eventually pushed through the mirror to Wonderland by Charles.  Now Tony thinks the only way to rescue him is to also push him into Wonderland.  They go to the Liddle house and while preparing to push in his son, his son gets a headache (insinuated to be caused by the abuse.)  Tony starts berating him for acting feminine, and his son snaps and shoves his father through the mirror.  Charles shows up and tells the son to leave.  In Wonderland Tony literally tears himself apart into the Tweedle twins and goes in search of food.  They find a diner like building and a huge feast, but then they are found by the Carpenter who murders them both.  It is revealed that the Carpenter is their father.
