Little Audrey TV Funtime #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLittle Audrey TV Funtime #2 represents Harvey Comics' early-1960s strategy of packaging their animated-cartoon stable into oversized quarterly giants — a format designed to maximize the TV-to-newsstand pipeline at a moment when the Harvey characters were still fresh on American television screens. The issue brings together Little Audrey, Little Lotta, and Richie Rich under one cover, capturing the cross-title ecosystem that made Harvey's humor line so durable throughout the Silver Age. Its Halloween-themed cover also illustrates how Harvey tied seasonal imagery to their all-ages lineup, a marketing approach they would employ across dozens of titles for decades.
In this playful 1962 tale from *Little Audrey TV Funtime #2*, Dot’s father surprises her with a piggy bank, chuckling at the coins’ dot-like shape—sure she’ll save them. But Dot, ever full of mischievous spark, has a far more fun idea in mind.
In this brief, whimsical tale from *Little Audrey TV Funtime #2* (1962), three weary workmen grumble as they finally haul a massive rock from the earth. After joking that they’ll just shove it back in, the ever-practical Lotta takes them at their word—and does exactly that.

The Little Audrey TV Funtime series launched in September 1962 as a quarterly giant-size title running 33 issues through October 1971, timed to capitalize on Harvey's ownership of the Little Audrey cartoon rights, which the company had acquired in 1959. Issue #2 was cover-dated December 1962, with interior stories and art credited to Sid Couchey and Howard Post — the primary creative team behind the Lotta Plump stories throughout this era — and a cover by Warren Kremer, Harvey's long-serving art director who penciled, inked, and colored the vast majority of the publisher's humor-title covers across his 35-year tenure. Like other Harvey giants of the period, the book mixed new stories with reprints drawn from earlier Harvey series.
