Anyone here ever read any of Winsor McCay's stuff? I'd imagine that "Little Nemo" offers a lot to fans of Enid Blyton. It's sort of like The Faraway Tree with an edge (and indeed predates Blyton's work).
There's a fairly decent Wikipedia article on Little Nemo here:

(Winsor McCay is a bit of a hero of mine. He's a pioner of both animation and the comic strip, two art forms I'm very interested in.)
Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo"
I like to think that the naming of the little fish is an homage to Winsor McCay, but it's probably to do with 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.Julian wrote: Even I had to admit that I really haven't heard of Little Nemo or Windsor McCay. But I will keep my eyes open on them.
At first I thought that you were talking about Disney's Finding Nemo !
