Little Dot #149

This sunny 1973 Harvey Comics entry finds Little Dot front and center on a bright yellow cover, dressed in her signature polka-dot red dress and clutching the tangled strings of both a purple kite and a large red balloon — while a small boy nearby holds the balloon's colorful tail. The side panels remind readers that Little Lotta, Richie Rich, Mrs. Polka, and Mr. Polka are also along for the fun inside. With a cover price of just 20 cents and the promise of "The Mysterious Boinger," this cheerful issue delivers the light-hearted Harvey Comics charm that made Little Dot a staple of early-seventies kids' reading.
