Little Dot #96

Harvey Comics' polka-dot princess is all smiles in this December 1964 issue, shown gleefully reading a Richie Rich comic while colorful dots — red, blue, and green — swirl playfully around her in the shapes of letters. It's a wonderfully self-aware cover moment that captures Dot's cheerful personality perfectly, with her signature polka-dot dress and big grin making it impossible not to smile right along with her. The story title "Don't Mention Dots!" promises the kind of gentle, clever humor that made this Harvey series such a delight throughout the 1960s.
