Many of us are bored. I'm actually just looking for a placeholder question since my area of expertise is older comics,

I know a little about Anime, but I tend not to differentiate it (I answered one guy's question about how to draw anime figures by linking to an academic drawing site, and how to draws for Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Naruto) from traditional Western cartooning.

The reason for that is complicated: since the nineteenth century Western and Japanese traditions have been well aware of and influencing each other heavily. Even today, I'll watch Yuyu Hashuko or Captain Harlock--or Dragonball Z or Naruto -- and see things we used to do in our cartooning but stopped when we "grew up" some time around the sixties. Like the mix of heroic and humorous characters. While the officers of Captain Harlock's ship have normal or even heroic proportions (except the first mate) most of the crew are only 2 or 3 heads high -- traditional "Big foot" proportions. You see this in the others, but usually there is some sort of explanation. I think it's cool that Leiji Matsumoto just presents it as a fait accompli.

One strip which influenced both American and Japanese tastes through the 20th Century was Windsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland, which dates back to the 1910's and 1920's. The strip relied heavily on the conventions of childrens literature for its look, but it was somewhat darker, and it happens featured two humorous characters we would today find rather crude and offensive. Both Flip, a stereotyped city dweller like the "Brooklynites" of the NY area or the "Southies" of Boston, and the Imp, a very stereotyped African described as a Cannibal were drawn as bigfoot characters. Their ability to interact with such realistic and romantic characters as Nemo, the Princess, the courtiers of the Court of King Morpheus, and, occasionally, Nemo's parents, owes a lot to McCay having developed his sensibilities doing Circus Posters. He went on to tour Vaudeville with Gertie The Dinosaur, the first very successful animation.

In the 1980's Masami Hata, Masanori Hata and William T. Hurtz co-directed an adaptation of the strip which one may or may not regard as anime, but which definitely shows the influence McCay's had on everyone. The format of the sunday strips, by the way, was always, Nemo falls asleep in the first panel, and finds himself in a situation of surrealism and chaos which builds in absurdity until the only escape is for him to wake up, which he always does in the last panel.

I've linked to pages on the net which feature scans of Little Nemo, one of which is not in English, but the material is so visual you should just understand he's dreaming it.
