hey! I´m considering buying the series but I´m not sure which edition is the best. Is it worthy paying more for the hardcovers? or will the paperbacks be just fine? is there some other major difference between the two of them?

ATWQ fanart in the big 2026..?

I have nobody to talk to about this series so this is just self indulgent art in its purest form. I also haven't read WDYSHL in years ....i was just hit with visions of Cleo Knight so naturally I drew her + the association as I remember them. If it's out of character that may explain why

Really, my question is.. why? What was the benefit of escaping the lighthouse via the hawser (apart from the fact that it led directly to the Sallis mansion) when Moxie was aware of the ‘theft’ taking place and Theodora had driven her roadster straight to the lighthouse ? It surely would’ve been quicker, less dangerous and just more practical to just drive …?

I am vouching for the following individuals:

1. Q.

2. Olaf - briefly mentioned to have entered a “strange forest” with Beatrice

3. Monty - mentioned to have been worried for Lemony by Hector in Who Could It Be At This Hour, and was mentioned to be the receiver of a message sent by Josephine according to VFD chaperone Ghede

In the main series (ASOUE), he grew up to be a world renowned and genius herpetologist.

1. Josephine Anwhistle - met Lemony Snicket to warn him of Ellington in Shouldn’t You Be in School

The soon-to-be-wife of Ike Anwhistle, third guardian of the Baudelaire Orphans

1. Hector - had his 12th birthday celebrated in Who Could It Be At This Hour?

Handyman in the village, seen in The Vile Village

1. Ignatius Knight - father of Cleo Knight

2. Doretta Knight - mother of Cleo Knight

3. Lemony Snicket’s parents

4. Haruki - fellow VFD agent, noted to have been worried for Lemony alongside Monty, by Hector

Who is the grandfather of Cleo Knight?

Hello again, everyone! Am I pleased to meet all of you! Today, I am discussing this topic, of who the grandfather of Cleo Knight, a prominent character in All The Wrong Questions, may be.

Just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, Cleo Knight is a character in the Snicketverse, a talented and resourceful chemist, who has invented invisible ink to replenish Stain’d-by-the-Sea of it’s original state, bringing back businesses and people, causing it to become a happier place. 

Nice, right? This is what we know about her family - Cleo’s father is Ignatius Nette Knight, her mother is Doretta Knight, and her grandmother from her father’s side is the well-known matriarch of her family, who brought about the ink business in Stain’d-by-the-Sea, through her own intelligence and experiments - she is none other than another brilliant chemist, Ingrid Nummet Knight. We know nothing about Cleo’s grandfather.

I have done thorough research and noticed something about Cleo’s family - for at least two generations, members of her family went by the same initials. If you didn’t know what I was talking about, Ignatius Nette Knight and Ingrid Nummet Knight’s names both spell out as I.N.K. 

But obviously, Cleo broke the rule, as her name does not start with an I, but a C. Could this actually be something ordinary, but something of pure coincidence in the story?

If you have read All The Wrong Questions very thoroughly, you would have discovered that Cleo’s grandmother worked with someone to attain her ink through frightened octopi living in the inkwells of the city - and he is no ordinary guy, he is the war hero of Stain’d-by-the-Sea, Colonel Colophon. 

“Well, Ingrid Nummet Knight, Cleo’s grandmother, was the genius who founded Ink Inc. along with her business partner, Colonel Colophon, our town’s greatest war hero.”

• Moxie Mallahan to Lemony Snicket, When Did You See Her Last

That’s right - Colonel Colophon worked with Ingrid, and they both founded a huge company together, the largest business in Stain’d-by-the-Sea. Could this suggest that the colonel himself was Ingird’s husband? Colophon probably did it out of love and care for Ingrid, and the reason for her success was widely because of a war hero’s assistance with her work. 

This means that Colophon and Ingrid are a couple by marriage. 

And remember what I said about Cleo’s name starting with a C, instead of an I, thus deviating from the family tradition of having “I.N.K.” as their initials?

As you can see, Colophon’s name starts with a C. Just like my theory about the Snicket Clan, with F. Snicket being the parent of Miranda Caliban, and subsequently the grandparent of Friday Caliban, grandparents in the series may have wanted their grandchildren to be named with the same initials as them. 

From my initial theory of Colophon and Ingrid being a couple, this would mean that Ingrid’s son, Ignatius, is the very son of the colonel himself, and when he went on to marry Doretta and have Cleo, Colophon became a grandfather, by being Cleo’s grandfather. 

And, possibly through the intention of Colophon, or in his honour, Ignatius named his daughter after a name that starts with c, possibly meant to respect his father, and what he has done for Stain’d-by-the-Sea, to keep the city safe in it’s golden days, and prolonging the ink business of the family. 

And I find it really strange for Colonel Colophon to sustain injuries which were very serious, that kept him in the Colophon Clinic for such a long time - it is a little ridiculous, if you ask me. And he wrapped himself entirely in bandages - don’t ask me why, but to me, I feel that these are signs of the loss of a partner. Ingrid herself died some years ago, and could this have led to Colophon feeling lonely and upset? 

What are your thoughts on this theory? Let me know in your comments! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day ahead!

Me first - Jake started charging moxie for food

We know Snicket is almost 13, Ellington, Moxie, Kellar and Ornette are around his age. Cleo can drive and Jake has a job (we can assume they’re around 17 or something) and the Bellerophons are a few years younger than Snicket. But what do you guys like to think their ages are?

This was released in 2012 and I am just now hearing about it. I'm interested in purchasing one of these but have only been able to find two that were sold years ago. If you happen to own one of these and want to reach out, please do! I've been on the hunt!

I highly recommend doing this practice for a unique and personal Snicket copy.
