Something Dotty

This is Dot Polka, a comic character from way back. She collected and loved everything with dots on it. I drew her some time ago, and recently put it all together on spotted backgrounds.
My opinion of Dot: If you have a family history of obsessive behavior (evidenced by her strange aunts and uncles), and if your surname is Polka, it is very unwise to name your daughter Dot.

Just discovered Little Dot. I remember her comic books from a very lo-o-o-ng time ago (‘sixties). Now we need a Little Lotta (remember her?). And maybe Sniffles (Can’t remember the girl’s name, but I remember her chant: “Magic words of poof-poof-piffles, Make me just as small as Sniffles” — and, voila, she was mouse-sized so she could play with her friend. Sigh. The good ol’ days).
I remember Little Lotta. I don’t know Sniffles. I read Dot and Lotta and Audrey and Richie Rich in the 80′s. Perhaps the Sniffles comic was not published then any more?

Thanks so much for giving me the details of the paper dolls I wasn’t sure about Retha. I had a look at the link you included – it was great to see the cover of the book (it would have been nice to see some of the pages and outfits) I’m also glad you left a comment as it let me find your blog which I have really enjoyed looking at as well.
