Little Dot Dotland #23

Harvey Comics serves up a delightfully silly cover for this 1966 edition of Little Dot Dotland, where a wide-eyed Little Dot watches a movie theater screen filled with a massive, polka-dotted monster rampaging through a city in flames — naturally, even the kaiju has to match Dot's signature style. Two frightened kids in the row ahead cower and squirm, making Dot's calm fascination all the more charming by contrast. It's a warm snapshot of mid-sixties Harvey humor, pairing monster-movie thrills with the gentle, dot-obsessed world only Little Dot could inhabit.
