[edit] Little Dot's Uncles & Aunts
No info in the article, it does not appear to warrant a seperate page. Any further info on these side characters could go in the main article Little Dot. GHits for these characters:<40. Lomedae 12:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

- Keep notable comic book, a spinoff from the main Little Dot series, which ran for 13 years from 1961 through 1974. Thirteen years is an eternity by comic-book standards, and especially for a comic not by the big two (Marvel & DC). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting point. My mind is changed enough to feel it merits a redirect to Little Dot. How much is there to say about this particular comic, though? It's a spin-off of a spin-off, and I wouldn't say 13 years is particularly long at all for comic books. 37 Google hits is not inspiring, either. Your thoughts? Kafziel 13:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'd say there's at least enough to say about if for a full-length non-stub article. To start with, there's the task of describing the more prolific aunts and uncles themselves (if you're not familiar with Little Dot, she had hundreds of aunts and uncles, all of whom were obsessed with one particular thing). It's hardly unprecedented to have an article on a children's/humour comic, there are dozens of them, in fact. As for 13 years, it is definitely quite a long time for a non-Marvel/DC book to be published. Spawn, Cerebus, and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories are a few other examples. Bone (comics) made it to 13 years too, but that was with a highly irregular publishing schedule. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe you're right about the 13 year thing, and I was just unfairly comparing it to the likes of Archie or Little Lulu. It just seems to me that the Little Dot article is plenty small enough to fit information on the spinoffs. And unless there have been published lists and descriptions of all those aunts and uncles (I can't find any, but maybe they're just not online), it kind of necessitates a pretty big amount of original research and unverifiable information. Making it a subsection of the main article removes some of the pressure to contribute O.R. for the sake of expansion. Kafziel 18:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
