Dot Polka

Dot Polka is a cheerful young girl and the star of Harvey Comics' humor series, defined by her absolute obsession with polka dots — she collects them, wears them, and sees them everywhere. Her stories follow everyday childhood adventures built around this endearing, dot-crazy personality.

Few characters wear their personality as literally as Dot Polka, the dot-obsessed little girl who debuted in Harvey Comics' Little Dot #8 in 1954 and went on to headline one of the publisher's most beloved titles for an extraordinary six-plus decades. A true product of Harvey's golden era of all-ages humor comics, Dot built a cozy universe of her own — sharing pages with the likes of Lotta Plump, Gloria Glad, and even members of the Polka household across Little Dot, Little Dot Dotland, and Richie Rich Millions. With 129 catalog appearances, five of them recognized as key issues, and a publishing run stretching all the way to 2017, she's proof that a charming, distinctive concept can outlast entire generations of flashier superheroes. If you've got a soft spot for Harvey's warm, wonderfully quirky corner of comics history, Dot is absolutely worth a closer look.
