Little Nemo Tumbles out of Bed and Into a Google Doodle

nemogoogledoodle.jpg
Google is commemorating the 107th anniversary of artist Winsor McCay’s comic masterpiece,

Little Nemo in Slumberland, with an animated Doodle that follows Nemo through several levels of adventures, Inception-style. That the strip is animated is especially appropriate given that McCay was an earlier popularizer of the art form. Unlike the computer-generated films of today, each frame of McCay’s cartoons were drawn by hand with pen and ink on paper. Even the backgrounds were redrawn, frame by frame....

Once upon a time, people used to get something called “newspapers” delivered to their homes every day. And in these newspapers were something called “comic strips.” Unlike the cramped, minimalist things of today, these comics were large, elaborate, often full-page affairs. And in the early days of comic strips one of the most popular was Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay. -- | GeekMom | Wired.com

What a truly marvelous bit of magic Little Nemo was!

Thanks for the reminder.
