OPEN POST: Sunday Comics! Post Your Favorites, Old Or New!
Are you tripping balls from the comic above? So were newspaper readers from 1905 to the early 1920s, when artist and animator Windsor McKay published his strip, "Little Nemo In Slumberland," which charted the jaw-dropping dreams of its young hero, Nemo. You can have a clearer look at the strip above by clicking and enlarging it, and read all of Nemo's eye-popping adventures right here.
McKay's strip is considered one of the most influential of all time and it's not hard to see why. Even Walt Disney acknowledged the debt he owed to McKay's comics and pioneering work in animation. Federico Fellini was also said to have been influenced by his work, along with Maurice Sendak, Art Spiegelman and Robert Crumb. Given his work, you might assume that McKay took shrooms - or something! - but apparently, he never even touched alcohol.
