Lighter lid

[Jonathan Lighter]

My recollection of Hatlo's oeuvres is far less vivid.  All I can remember is the Hatlo hat and that Iodine wore a red ponytail with a big bow.

She was kind of like "Little Lulu," but more working-class, IIRC.

Did you ever see the movie based on the cartoon in which it was
revealed that "Iodine" was actually named "Diane"? Hatlo's work
introduced me to "inkum" sc."tax" as a possible pronunciation of
"income." and I'll never forget Uncle Lushwell and Mr. Bigdome, though
I have forgotten the name of her mother. Her dad was Henry Tremblechin,
"Trimble" in the movie.
