Well, this one feels a bit nostalgic… it immediately brings back the Flip/Nemo dynamic in a way that is reminiscent of all their past journeys. - 1/10
Just as before, Nemo is the cautionary one and Flip is the one who pushes the boundaries… Flip interprets Nemo's hesitancy as fear and Nemo defends himself against the claim. - 2/10
We've seen this play out multiple times before and after such a long hiatus on these friends journeying together, I'm actually quite glad to see it return. - 3/10
It reminds us that we've seen this relationship grow substantially throughout the run and that we're likely to continue seeing that in the strips to come. For now, it reminds us of "where we last were" so we can get a foothold on where we're going. - 4/10
I wonder why the Captain does as he's commanded in panel 3. I think the command comes from Flip (indicated by left-side balloon/tone), not Nemo, so that was strange. Maybe Nemo has given him permission to do so? - 5/10
I'm wondering if anyone has a scientific explanation for the black smoke that the giant blows from his mouth to expel the airship? Could it just be that black was the clearest way to depict this? Moon dust? - 6/10
It's also quite fascinating that the giants talk to one another… and become more "human" in appearance. - 7/10
Last strip, they almost looked like trolls; here, they look *very* human. Are these giants on the other side of the moon? - 8/10
Certainly, this is a strange entry into the series and one that I don't think I fully understand all the nuances of… I'm excited to hear what others have to say. - 9/10
This is my reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #235. What's yours? - 10/10
