Little Dot #22

Harvey Comics' polka-dot heroine is in rare form on this 1957 cover, taking dead aim with a toy rifle at a toaster that's launching scorched toast into the air — complete with a cheerful "BANG!" as her shot connects. Little Dot, dressed in her signature red-and-black dotted dress, looks absolutely determined, bringing her trademark intensity to the most unexpected of household standoffs. It's the kind of delightfully absurd, warmly funny imagery that made Harvey Comics a staple of mid-century comic racks.
