Little Dot #73

Harvey Comics' polka-dot-loving heroine takes center stage on this cheerful 1961 cover, where Little Dot sits cross-legged playing a flute, charming a stream of colorful dots out of a wicker basket just like a snake charmer — while in the background, a turbaned snake charmer does the very same thing with an actual serpent. Warren Kremer's artwork perfectly captures Dot's mischievous charm, from her signature polka-dot dress to the musical notes drifting through the pink air. It's a wonderfully playful image that shows exactly why this Harvey series had such enduring appeal with young readers.
