Description
Little Nemo is a fictional character created by American cartoonist Winsor McCay. He originated in an early comic strip by McCay, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, before receiving his own spin-off series, Little Nemo in Slumberland. The full-page weekly strip depicted Nemo having fantastic dreams that were interrupted by his awakening in the final panel. It was renamed In the Land of Wonderful Dreams when McCay moved from The New York Herald to the New York American. It was revived under the original title when McKay returned to the Herald. Between the two papers, it ran, with interruptions, from October 15, 1905 to January 9, 1927.

The strip is considered McCay's masterpiece for its experiments with the form of the comics page, its use of color and perspective, its timing and pacing, the size and shape of its panels, and its architectural and other details.
