i had a book called Dreams of the Rare Bit Fiend I liked a lot. It was by Windsor Mackay. I still have it buried somewhere in a drawer. The premise was much like Nemo. The main guy would have really weird nightmares, and the last panel would always be him waking up saying "no more snacks before bed!" or something like that.
Yes! I have that too, and when the NEMO strips run out next week (there are only about 10 -15 in my collection) I was going to run those cartoons in its place. so if you can't find yours, just check in here evr' day, fella!
That was McCay's main theme in those days...
i'll have to re-check, but theres at least one other stip by a contemporary of McCay's called Wee Willie Winkies World, or something like that, and that also explored a kind of magical fantasy realm quite often, similar to these strips...must have been a popular concept back in the day...still is, actually. Incredible imagination! Incredible artistic talent! Except for the word balloons, these strips(Nemo) are better than most today!
Welcome! Here we will explore the wonderful world of Comic Books. A comic book can enjoyed by anyone, young and old alike, and for many different reasons -- you may be captivated by the story, the art, or both. There have been so many different kinds of comic books, and here we hope to celebrate all of them in one way or another. Together we can pull back the curtain and look at some of the legendary artists and writers, the comic book creators who have contributed to the art form over the last seven decades. We may look back even farther. You won't find the latest comic book news here, but you will find insights, information, and some of the greatest stories and art from some of the world's best comics.
