Today, the crew passes over a field in Ohio that Nemo claims is a part of the "Natural Gas Belt" of Ohio. - 1/7

After a *very* cursory search, I couldn't find anything referencing an Ohio NGB… there was an Indiana NGB, though. Is Nemo mistaken about where they are? - 2/7

Maybe @Totter87 could clarify/provide us with some information? - 3/7

Formally, this is a simple strip. That said, the visual design of the balloon slowly deflating panel after panel is impressive (if not totally believable). - 4/7

I also really appreciate the "helpful strangers" trope that pops up again. We've seen it in varying degrees of intensity over the past few strips, but this is definitely the best. - 5/7

It doesn't progress the narrative all that much, but it isn't without it's charms. - 6/7

This is my reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #259. What's yours? - 7/7
