Little nemo in slumberland windsor mccay biography

Little Nemo in Slumberland was a full-page weekly comic strip created by the American cartoonist and animator, Windsor McCay in 1905.

In each instalment, a boy named Nemo ("no one" in Latin) dreams up a wild adventure which always ends with him waking up at home, in bed. The first episode begins with King Morpheus of Slumberland commanding one of his Oomps to bring Nemo to Slumberland. 

Readers eventually learn that Nemo has been summoned to be the playmate of Slumberland's Princess, although this dream-quest is constantly interrupted. Along the way, Nemo encounters a green, cigar-chewing clown named Flip who wears a top hat emblazoned with the words "Wake Up." Nemo and Flip become companions, and are joined by a caricatured African character named Impie, whom Flip discovers in the Candy Islands.

The trio travel far and wide.
