Ya, so I'll be the first to admit that I've got absolutely no idea what is going on in this strip… - 1/7

It seems like someone is changing a slide projector on the trio causing their environment to change/alter into different places… - 2/7

Are they all homes of some sort? Almost like they're working their way down from upper-middle class to the lowest class? - 3/7

It seems as though we go through seven changes. The first three (or four) seem to be of houses of upper to middle class position before breaking down into much lower class "homes"… - 4/7

Panel 11 sees us in a home reminiscent of Shanty Town, before we end up in some stables and then a prison. Is this some sort of social/class commentary? - 5/7

I'm eager to hear what others think because I'm genuinely unsure what to make of this one. - 6/7

This is my reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #155. What's yours? - 7/7
