As so
often it is Winsor McCay who combines the drawing skills and visual imagination
to challenge the norms of scale in sequential drawing. "Little Nemo
in the Palace of Ice", The New York Herald 1907.
The transition from small and being chased, to large and clambering is
seamless and beautifully timed. The transdimensional journey is made all
the more believable because of his immense powers of drawing. Never has
a Babygrow assumed so many interesting shapes, and all credible.
There is
a similar idea in The Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy when
a Battle Fleet of unimaginable size in its own dimension heads towards
earth only to be swallowed by a dog.
