Oh, Winsor! That's not how popcorn works! … Well, I guess it sort of is… just amplified to absurdity by the dreamscape. - 1/10
This is, of course, a trend that has become fairly common throughout this revival series. Very few of the events and shenanigans involve things that don't exist in the waking world, but they are certainly "amplified to absurdity" causing calamity. - 2/10
I'll admit, I find the way Flip immediately turns to using the popcorn for nefarious trickster purposes delightful and very true to character! It would've been so lame if they'd just "hurrayed" and begun gorging on the stuff! - 3/10
That's not to suggest that this strip is really anything special… it's fairly tame and possesses little to dig into and discuss the way that some of the past couple strips have. - 4/10
In the end though, any strips that sees Flip and the gang get the one-up on the adults of Slumberland is fine by me! - 5/10
I will say though that I feel tier three is a bit missed opportunity. That would've made for a brilliant and pretty gorgeous triptych across the three panels. I'm both a bit stumped and disappointed in McCay's failure to capitalize on that. - 6/10
One *might* argue that it's close to a triptych (and they would'nt be wrong), but it's sloppy. Having the bodies so close to the panel border hinders the viewers ability to register it as a single image. - 7/10
So even if the background is somewhat singular, the body distortions from panel to panel nullify it, in my opinion. - 8/10
I'll end just by mentioning that the only characters who don't speak in this strip are Impie, Morpheus, and Pill… of course, two of those characters are sleeping… it's frustrating that even though Impie has agency here, he's still silent. - 9/10
This is my reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #492. What's yours? - 10/10
