Toddler's Roundtable
I recently came across this, a pre-CdS Toddler's Roundtable cartoon that features preschoolers. A few of the references are a little dated but it's hold up OK. And the kid stage right is clearly a proto-Dill.
Y'know what's really scary about this? After spending a good 40 years of my life watching Sunday morning news-talkies on TV to gather cartoon material, the whole idea that humanity peaks at the age of 18 months totally makes sense.
Laugh if you want, but these preschoolers' discourse actually sounds more intelligent than current-day Sunday morning talkies. They ought to get that Stinker kid to host "Meet The Press".

I nearly fell off my chair laughing. I love it.
DEFINITELY proto-Buckethead!
