In the original nursery rhyme, Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle because Tweedledum accused Tweedledee of spoiling his nice new rattle. However, after a monstrous crow frightened them both, they forgot their quarrel. In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There (1871), the two fat little men are portrayed as twins who enact and quote their nursery rhyme for Alice. They also tell her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter.

  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee work for the Mad Hatter, running his asylum in Looking Glass Land, and they are not too kind towards patients. The larger Tweedle is Tweedledee, and the smaller Tweedle is Tweedledum.
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee were characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. They were brothers discovered by Alice as she traveled through Wonderland. In 2268, under the control of the Platonians' psychokinetic abilities, James T. Kirk and Spock sang a nonsense verse that referenced language and characters from the book: I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum. We're spacemen marching to and from. We slythe among the mimsy troves, And tire among the borogove. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren" )
