Little Dot #105

From her little rowboat, the polka-dot-clad Dot grins with delight as her fishing line hooks something unexpected — a very grumpy, spotted yellow octopus rising dripping from the water — while her wide-eyed adult companion looks on in pure alarm. Harvey Comics' June 1966 entry in the long-running Little Dot series captures the strip's cheerful charm perfectly, pairing Dot's fearless enthusiasm with the kind of absurd, splashy situation only she could reel in. If "The Dotted Dingbat" is any indication, this issue delivers the warm, gag-filled fun that made the series a staple of the Harvey lineup.
