His extravagant visions were not confined to any particular time or place and were often not based in reality. In any given week, you could fine Nemo fighting Native Americans, battling giants, enjoying a ride on an enormous condor, chopping down George Washington’s cherry tree of lore, receiving a kiss from a princess, visiting Jack Frost’s frozen palace, touring the countryside in the mouth of a dragon, or sailing alongside a band of pirates. Each strip ends with Little Nemo’s awakening, through literally falling into bed, waking in fright, or through the rousing words of an adult. ![]()
