Little Dot, full name Dot Polka, is a comic book character who is a little girl with an obsession with dots and dotlike things. She first appeared in 1949 as a supporting feature in Sad Sack and by 1953 was given her own series as part of the Harvey Comics group of comedy characters primarily intended for children. Little Dot's own comic lasted for several decades and was where other popular characters Little Lotta and Richie Rich both made their own first appearances. Another spinoff title which ran for thirteen years was Little Dot's Uncles & Aunts, about the adventures of Dot's impossibly extended family, each with an obsessive interest of their own. Dot hasn't had her own comic since 1994, but the character continues to live on in merchandise such as t-shirts and a 2003 maquette statue. Unlike most Harvey properties she hasn't had an animated cartoon.
