Little Dot #92

Harvey Comics' Little Dot #92 from April 1964 serves up a wonderfully surreal cover: a sleeping boy dreams up a cloud-world where a panicked Little Dot is being chased by a gang of angry, red polka-dot squares come to life, all set against a cheerful backdrop of a golden cube-tree and a blocky pink house. The dreamer tucked in bed below grounds the whole zany scene as someone else's imagination run wild — a playful visual joke that perfectly suits the story's title, "Love Those Dots." It's a charming snapshot of Harvey's signature brand of gentle, dot-obsessed humor at its most inventive.
