Google has surpassed itself with this interactive, animated comic strip doodle in homage to Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland.

The Creative Bloq team were very excited to discover this Google doodle which celebrates the 107th anniversary of comic artist Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland in serious style.

Move through the story

Google's first interactive comic-strip, the design requires users to click a tab at the end of each part of the animation to move on to the next part of the story.

Widely regarded as a comic art master, Winsor McCay's first major series was A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle, which appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer over more than 40 instalments in 1903.

McCay also created a number of animated short films, including the groundbreaking Gertie the Dinosaur, classified by film and animation historians as the first cartoon to feature a character created especially for film to display a unique, realistic personality.
