Hello humble followers, and welcome to another installment on my blog of comic books! In this entry, I will be talking about a little something a lot of you may not be familiar with, and that is a collection of comic stories called "Little Nemo Comics". And no, I'm talking about a comic series that inspired the movie "Finding Nemo" by Disney. I'm talking about a collection of multiple variety newspaper style comics.

Everyone these days (young or old) can name at least a few old time newspaper comics, such as Peanuts, Garfield, and Calvin & Hobbes. But hardly anyone (including me) know about "Little Nemo" comics (until my professor introduced me and my class to some examples for our history of comics). What Little Nemo comics are series of short storied newspaper comic strips that are collected from a variety of newspapers from earlier decades of the beginning comic strips. Many of these books will more then likely have a surrealist art to many strips that try to be more representative to other foreign countries and people that most people in common "civilized" countries (like the United States) saw how other beings lived in wild countries by means of abstract representation. Now some of these did however include to be very stereotypical and often at times "racy" towards other cultures or people of different countries. These story strips show a wonderful and colorful history in the world of newspaper comics. I would highly recommend checking this series out as a source of artistic research and references. Especially to any person studying the world of art and comics, and hope that they find this well categorized selection of illustrated short story notations useful in their pursuit of becoming an artist/comic writer.
