I had a really great time talking about my @cssorg award-winning social media research project, #WelcomeToSlumberland (@LittleNemo1905), with the amazing @MaiteUrcaregui! If you’re interested, check it out: https://t.co/LkZfdskItz

@Stringer1956 Ya, there is something to be said here about Nemo’s paratextual iterations and how those impacted/affected the original strips.

Consumerism certainly plays a role here, as well, since much of Nemo’s non-print existence was driven by a desire to further monetize the Nemo IP.

@tom_tofroh Yes! What a fantastic observation, @tom_tofroh! That fits right in alongside other early callbacks!

@tom_tofroh That said, the Taschen books are truly the best for seeing these strips as they were intended to be viewed.

@tom_tofroh Hey @tom_tofroh! After many discussions with copyright experts and my university copyright specialist I am confident in saying that McCay’s revival strips are indeed public domain.

As of this moment, the image on the #WelcomeToSlumberland are the only ones available on the web.

@pfxbryan Agreed. It’s nuanced and subtle, but it is most definitely there!

@pfxbryan I think it’s easy to do that with the revival strips because they lack the formal complexity and innovative spirit of the earlier strips. I most definitely would’ve blown by these strips much different had we not been reading day by day!

@Nsousanis We really have McCay to thank for Olaf, I think 😂
