Behind the scenes[]
This story was first printed in various American newspapers. It was reprinted in English in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #95 and in Volume 8 of the Floyd Gottfredson Library.
The depiction of Nigthmares as hideous little trolls who appear to actually physically exist ties back to the mythological Night Mare of German folklore, from which the name of the modern understanding of "bad dreams" is derived.
