Disclose Notes: The story in which Max imagines himself, written in 1899 as "Little Black Sambo", was very popular for a good half-century but now both the story and the term "sambo" are considered by many to be racially offensive. More detail on the story and its controversial history can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Little_Black_Sambo]. Presumably, public sentiment against the story was not yet widespread enough for the Harvey editors to be aware of it when the story was first adapted for Little Max in 1955 and reprinted again in 1961.

Attol is the opposite of Lotta in every way and does not approve of Lotta's unladylike demeanor. Her comments begin to frustrate Lotta and eventually they come to blows. Lotta steps back through the mirror to where she is sleeping, and upon awakening, she is relieved to see that the mirror is not really magic - or is it?
