fcgamer | 5,020 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm not going to claim a Mandela Effect here, but @phart010's post about JP3 made me start thinking about the Little Nemo gorilla. We all know that Flip and the gorilla both smoke in the Famicom version of the game; however, I knew that the gorilla smoked (but was unaware of Flip smoking) way before playing the Famicom version of the game, and it isn't something I learned from looking at stuff online. My best guess is that there's a picture circulating around in a book or magazine that shows the gorilla smoking. It even feels weird when I see that the gorilla actually isn't smoking. Let's discuss.

Tanooki | 5,145 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Is the gorilla made up by Capcom or was it part of the original comic strip?? The reason I ask a few years back a very large and heavy coffee table style book popped up at the half price books up the street and I grabbed it. It has every single comic from Little Nemo re-printed in there and if it's worth the effort I could poke around and see if I can find some history of that smoking. Flip wouldn't be too hard to figure out as that is part of the comic from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR | 545 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I feel like I remember the gorilla smoking also. Maybe I'll pull down my copy of LN and play it just to be sure. Now that I think about it, I think I saw it on a web page a long time ago. Edited September 21, 2021 by CMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 8,148 Graphics Team · Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'd be shocked if Winsor McCay never drew a smoking gorilla at least once in the Little Nemo canon, or at least in his career as a comic-artist. So you could've seen it somewhere outside of the game, @fcgamer. @Tanooki my college library had that Little Nemo compendium - what a great find! I would love to get a copy some day, if only it weren't so massive haha. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cool nonetheless. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
