For this week, alongside reading Battle Angel Alita, I took a look of Winsor Mccays Little Nemo. I have had experience reading his comic strips a while back and remember looking at the way he designs his characters and environments. The amount of imagination he puts in each strip is incredible and puts a good amount of effort in each panel while it's either the way he sets up the perspectives and linework.
Since the comic takes place in a kids dreams, Mccay went wild with the designs for the characters and environments. Each comic seems to take place in a different world whether it's a world with large mushrooms or a massive ice cave ruled by an ice king. The majority of each strip ends with the main character waking up with his parents always scolding him to stop having bad dreams (Can't blame the kid, not his fault his dreams go fucking crazy with him always put into danger before he wakes up.) I'd recommend reading this if you are into seeing the history of comics.

The film is not a bad watch either if you are into animation, shame the movie was a bit of a cluster fuck to put together, isn't that right Miyazaki?
