Dream of a rarebit fiend. "I always like to sit in the corner of a car then I don't have people trampling all over me" / Silas.
Summary
Eight-panel comic strip shows a man seated in the corner of a streetcar to avoid being crowded. In subsequent panels he is joined by three fat people and the car gradually tips over. He awakes in the last panel on the floor, having fallen out of his bed, blaming his dream on the consumption of Welsh rarebit. In each Rarebit cartoon, a man or woman has a nightmare caused by the consumption of Welsh rarebit, a dish made of melted cheese cooked with dry mustard, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce and ale and served on toast. The comic strip ran in the New York Evening Telegram from 1904 to 1911 and briefly in the Herald in 1913.
