The original set-up of the comic revolved around the nightly dreams of a little boy named Nemo ( meaning " nobody " in Latin ).
The purpose of his early dreams was to reach ' Slumberland ', the realm of King Morpheus, who wanted him as a playmate for his daughter, the Princess.
The last panel in each strip was always one of Nemo waking up, usually in or near his bed, and often being scolded ( or comforted ) by one of the grownups of the household after crying out in his sleep and waking them.
In the earliest strips, the dream event that woke him up would always be some mishap or disaster that seemed about to lead to serious injury or death, such as being crushed by giant mushrooms, being turned into a monkey, falling from a bridge being held up by " slaves ", or gaining 90 years in age.
Later on, when Nemo finally did reach Slumberland, he was constantly being woken up by Flip, a character who originally wore a hat that had ' Wake Up ' written on it.
Flip would go on to be one of the comic's seminal characters.
Other notable recurring characters included: Dr.
Pill, The Imp, the Candy Kid and Santa Claus as well as the Princess and King Morpheus.
