In this episode, you get to hear Chris Mautner, Matt Seneca and a sickly Joe McCulloch discuss Charles Burns and his comics. Then, right in the middle of those fine gentlemen talking about Noah Van Sciver's The Hypo, Tucker Stone shows up and jumps in like the room is a mattress. And then they all talk about Young Albert, by Yves Chaland. And then it goes classical, with Matt bringing the question to Winsor McCay and the littlest of his Nemo! Get some bananas, friend-o. You're gonna need the potassium!

I've got a William Borroughs book with Charles Burns cover art.
"My Education: A Book of Dreams"
Looks like this:

BTW, there certainly were psychoactive drugs available in McCay's day - eg naturally occurring ones like psilocybin, datura, mescaline, cannabis - but he just seems like a very energetically inventive dude, what with the animation and all. I dunno... the symmetries and transmutations, hmm maybe, and it would go some way to explaining the chronically demented dialogue... but I reckon he just ate a load of hard to digest food before bed every night.
That's the secret, kids.
