Little Nemo in Google Land

Google's doodles for today is a hat tip to the 107th anniversary of Winsor McCay's comic Little Nemo in Slumberland, launched this day in 1905. The comic strip featured the little dreamer's nighttime escapades.

The artwork reflects McCay's style which used vivid colors, elegant lines...and "eccentric" dialogue that pointed to the artist's deadpan wit.

The interactive doodle features five panels of comic art, tracing Little Nemo's adventures in Slumberland, featuring the Walking Bed, and the Princess, one of his playmates. As usual, when he gets dropped into the ocean, he wakes up in his bed. (McCay's uses danger as a device to wake up Nemo from his dreams.)
