Flip would go on to be one of the comic's seminal characters. 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. 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. 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. The purpose of his early dreams was to reach 'Slumberland', the realm of King Morpheus, who wanted him as a playmate for his daughter, Princess Camille. The original set-up of the comic revolved around the nightly dreams of a little boy named Nemo (meaning 'nobody' in Latin). Although a comic strip, Little Nemo is far from a simple children's fantasy it is often dark, surreal, threatening, and even violent. The strip was first called 'Little Nemo in Slumberland' and then 'In the Land of Wonderful Dreams' when it changed papers in 1911.
