With his exploration of panel layout and narrative technique championed in Little Nemo, his use of enticing timing and pacing, and his interest in architectural and other detail, McCay had an inestimable influence on subsequent artists, including Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini. It was above all with his beloved comic creations, however, that McCay made his mark. A trailblazer in both stage theatre and animated film, he fascinated vaudeville audiences with spectacles of reality and illusion, and set standards for animation-one and a half decades before Walt Disney-that would remain relevant for generations to come. Nemo's author McCay can be considered a founding figure in the modern American entertainment industry.
Created by Winsor McCay (1869-1934), restless sleeper Nemo travelled in a weekly, full-page comic strip from bed to Slumberland, a fantastical realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, fears and adventures, all of which ended abruptly when Nemo awoke in the final panel.
