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 or when it was reprinted.

Little Max
Little Max; Casey
Max and Casey visit the town dump to see what they can salvage. Casey is perplexed when Max finds an old slipper and searches for its mate, since the slippers are much too large for Max. Max finds the second slipper, then rushes home, collecting some dirt and discarded flowers along the way. The perplexed Casey follows along to see what Max is up to and can't believe Max's ultimate goal - creating a small indoor garden by nailing the slippers to the wall as plant holders.
