Did the word "cute" mean something different in 1905 than it does now? Does this read strangely to anyone else? I'm still blown away by McCay's command of form, figure work, detail, etc. Just about very panel of this #LittleNemo strip could be framed and put on a wall.
Last #LittleNemo strip, I remarked we seemed to be seeing the classic Coca-Cola Santa that would dominate popular consciousness. This time, he looks a bit less typical in his accouterments. The blue pants and hat shape aren't classic. The polar bears are very Coke though.
Hm... If you could pick one Marvel character to pair with DC's Booster Gold (the Greatest Hero You've Never Heard of) for a team-up miniseries, who would you go with? #BoosterGold
The classic #LittleNemo ending. Love his face. McCay does "freaked out kid" very well and it always gets more exaggerated/cartoony. Also, Nemo's diet sounds atrocious. This time, he ate doughnuts right before bed. He WILL get to Slumberland eventually, right?
And "Lunatix" appears to #LittleNemo. Would you trust a character with that name? Sounds Liefeld-ian. To be fair, it's almost certainly a play on "Lunar" rather than "Lunatic" though there is a shared origin. I wonder what about the art process makes Lunatix/the moon more faint?
I'm starting to think #LittleNemo is a bit dense. You'd think he'd start to realize he's dreaming when his world ceases to make sense. Also, is it coincidence that "Bulzubb" is pretty close to the devilish "Beelzebub?" Probably, as Nemo is the wicked one here. As we'll see...
Yesterday, I received a commissioned art piece I ordered from #RamonaFradon. The only direction I gave was to ask for a piece featuring #Aquaman and #TheThing/#BenGrimm. Beyond that, I just encouraged her to have fun with the piece. I think she did that, how about you?
Hey! @Jonathan_Case's THE NEW DEAL is out! I know nothin' about it beside his awesome art but that's enough for me:
