Little Dot #18

Harvey Comics serves up a delightfully polka-dotted tea party in this 1956 issue, with Little Dot cheerfully pouring from a purple teapot while a small red-haired friend looks on — and an uninvited, grumpy anthropomorphic cat in a red-and-black spotted coat eyes the proceedings with clear suspicion. The bold, dot-covered logo and that ten-cent cover price capture everything charming about Harvey's mid-fifties lineup, and "The Heat Parade" promises the kind of lighthearted fun that made Little Dot a staple of the era.
