| Dream of the Rarebit Fiend by Winsor McCay (0460-) 1st Appearance 1904 - Winsor McCay proved to be one of the most prolific cartoonists in history by producing Dream of the Rarebit Fiend during roughly the same period that he was producing Little Nemo in Slumberland. Unlike Little Nemo, this strip was a self-contained gag page with no consistent characters or story continuity. Dream of the Rarebit Fiend expounded on the ancient scottish fable that the consumption of Welsh Rabbit causes the consumer to remember their dreams. Each strip would elaborate on one such dream, explorating the inner feelings of the dreamer in humorous fashion. The strip was produced on an occasional basis, sometimes two or three times a week, sometimes skipping whole weeks. It was not a true sunday strip until the very end of it's run around 1913-14. Because of this, the early pages are commonly Black and White, and usually half-size or smaller. Those later sunday pages can be found in full-size and full-color. Note that all of these were done under the pen-name "Silas". The market for Dream of the Rarebit Fiend is quite good as is true with all Winsor McCay offerings. All versions sell at high premium.
