Little Dot #48

Harvey Comics' Little Dot #48 from 1959 captures everything delightful about this polka-dot-obsessed little girl: there she is, paintbrush and bucket in hand, proudly decorating a birdhouse pole with her signature spots — only to send two very startled birds fleeing in colorful alarm. Warren Kremer's cover art is cheerful and expressive, with Dot's red polka-dot dress, the freshly painted birdhouse, and that sunny yellow background all working together to make this a genuinely fun piece of 1959 Harvey Comics charm. If you have a soft spot for gentle humor and an abundance of dots, this one belongs on your want list.
