I'm starting to feel as though this is another one of the series' of #LittleNemo that runs, to paraphrase the Dancing Missionary, just a lee-tal too long… - 1/9
There really isn't much here… the fall happens really quickly and doesn't really allow much time for the layout or spatial design to react… - 2/9
Panel 1 is already a long, vertical panel (to demonstrate the impending drop-off) which means the second, third, and fourth panels aren't really enhanced by the design. - 3/9
That said, I suppose the parallelism of the group looking down at the distance off the ledge, slipping/falling, landing, and then looking back up at the distance they've fallen is interesting. - 4/9
And though the layout isn't what we would call "productive" (it doesn't respond to the pictorial), it is certainly designed in such a way that the pictorial can respond to it (which is an intriguing inversion). - 5/9
Having DP and DM mistake the sleeping polar bear for a rock is the same type of humous (laughing at their ineptitude) that we've been getting over the last couple of strips, which I must say is getting old. - 6/9
They had some charm when the creatures they were "hunting/researching" were imaginative and strange, but now that the animals are normal and familiar the humour is fading for me. - 7/9
Here's to hoping that this series wraps up fairly soon so that we can move onto some new adventures! - 8/9
This is my reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #213. What's yours? - 9/9
