The first part of the comical doodle!

What is shown:

In an an animated trip, we travel through eight panels as Nemo is thrown out of his bed, caught by Princess of Slumberland and then travels with her in a orb on to another bed with long legs. He then tumbles down the panel, finally wakes up and falls off his bed.

The strip is about Nemo’s adventures as he tries to reach the Princess, daughter of King Morpheus, who wanted to play with Nemo.

(I wonder why I had to copy-paste this stuff:/ )
