Little Dot #114

In this quiet, whimsical moment from *Little Dot* #114, Dot’s father spills ink from his fountain pen, splattering her face—only to spark a playful, spontaneous idea. Seeing her reflection, Dot picks up the pen herself, turning the accident into a joyful act of self-expression with ink dots of her own making.

When Dot discovers her father shares her love of dots, she’s thrilled—until she realizes his obsession might be a cover for a very serious secret. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this playful 1967 tale spins a lighthearted mystery around a father’s surprising devotion to the little round shapes.

In "The Newcomer's Lesson," Lotta tries to be kind and careful with her strength when a new boy arrives, but his teasing pushes her to her limit—leading to a moment that teaches both of them something important.
