'''''Little Nemo''''' (originally '''''Little Nemo in Slumberland''''', much later renamed for copyright reasons to '''''In the Land of Wonderful Dreams'''''), was a weekly Sunday comic strip written by [[Winsor McCay]], which ran from 1905 to 1914. It featured the strange and surreal dreams of a young boy named Nemo. Strips often ended with Nemo waking up from terrifying situations his dreams had led him to.

Years and years of Sunday strips, now in the [[Public Domain]] in the US, can be found in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150905224638/http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/ The Comic Strips Library].
A [[Live Action Adaptation]] was made in 1984, titled ''[[Nemo]]'' or ''Dream One'', and a feature-length [[Animated Adaptation]], ''[[Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland]]'', was produced in the late Eighties.
The music video to the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' song "Runnin' Down A Dream" is an homage to the strips, as is the [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] song "Scenes From A Night's Dream".
''Little Nemo'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2009.
Has nothing at all to do with ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', even if you are looking for him.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Nemo's parents threaten to spank him for things that he does in his sleep that he really has no control over, like falling out of bed, yelling in his sleep, and even kicking the covers off his bed. [[Values Dissonance|Pretty standard parenting for 1905]].
* [[All Just a Dream]]: Every single story.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: McCay's "Little Nemo" short could be considered one of the first.
* [[April Fools' Day]]
