Little Dot #123

Harvey Comics' long-running Little Dot series delivers another cheerful gem with issue #123, and the cover alone is pure, colorful fun. Dot — dressed in her trademark polka-dot dress — is caught in a delightful crisis as a golden gumball machine erupts with a cascade of multicolored gumballs, sending them bouncing across the floor in every direction while she scrambles to catch them in her skirt. It's a perfectly charming 1969 snapshot of the series' warm, kid-friendly humor that made Little Dot a staple of the Harvey Comics lineup.
