Little Dot #49

Harvey Comics' Little Dot is up to her dot-obsessed mischief on this charming 1959 cover, where she gleefully buzzes a poodle with an electric clipper — shaving its fluffy coat into a polka-dot pattern that perfectly mirrors her own signature red-and-black spotted dress. The delighted grin on Dot's face and the poodle's wide-eyed surprise make this a wonderfully funny image that captures the playful, dot-crazy spirit of the series at its best. At just ten cents, this Harvey gem is a warm slice of late-1950s all-ages comics fun.
