Uh oh, this looks like a dilemma that Richie won't be able to spend his way out of! Let's hope Casper cas some connections on the other side to help out!

Looks as if Richard Rich, Sr. will be making the acquaintance of fellow Harvey character Hot Stuff, next issue. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd have to agree. It looks like Richie's dad cas--I mean, has--had it!
DeleteWhat if Richie Rich put his wealth into cryptocurrency? LOL!
ReplyDelete@my namesake: shouldn't that be "What if Richie's dog put his wealth into Krypto-currency?"
Delete@both Anons: double-groaner!
DeleteImagine an all-dog team, made up of Dollar, Krypto, Lockjaw, Hot Dog, Pluto, and Snowy... Maybe led by Scooby Doo?
DeleteAce's Dogs of War might have something to say about that.
DeleteI've always suspected that Richard Rich Sr wasn't actually the goody-goody, squeaky-clean heroic type his son sees him as. I'm sure he's got a lot to answer for.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, what if he obtained his wealth as the result of a deal with Hercules' uncle from Hades? I guess that would make him a...Pluto-crat!
DeleteOr maybe Scrooge McDuck simply used his infamous lucky coin to get out of trouble with the Spectre.*
Delete*See STF #3400 @ 8/4/2021.
He got his start by selling 'Grit', according to an advert for doing so that was in one 1970s comic I re-read recently.
DeleteRich Sr may have dealt with Thomas Wayne..this may not be as one sided as it looked. Casper meets the Spectre? That is different. I want to read this a lot!!
ReplyDeleteOr, he may have dealt with Howard the Duck's old foe, Pro-Rata the Financial Wizard. With the two of them conspiring to bedevil the Baxter Building on yesterday's cover.
DeleteI wonder what Bart Simpson would say about this issue, since he thinks Casper is in fact Richie’s ghost!
ReplyDeleteHe'd say to the Spectre: "Don't have a holy cow, man!"
DeleteI mean, back in the '70s, there was a whole "Richie Rich and Casper" ongoing comic book series showing us their adventures together (which Richie always thought were dreams).
DeleteI would have expected him to come for Reggie.
ReplyDeleteThe Super-Teens of Riverdale might have something to say about it.
ReplyDeleteWrong Reggie. But, I'd love to see the Spectre go up against Sabrina the Super-Witch (sometime ally of Capt. Hero and Pureheart)!
DeleteI meant Reggie Van Dough, Richie's jerk of a cousin. He's usually the one up to some michief.
DeleteWhich only goes to how much in common he cas---I mean HAS---with Reggie Mantle.
DeleteIs Casper Richie's ghost?
ReplyDeleteWell, if the Jetsons' mechanical maid Rosie can be ret-conned as a glorified cyborg (human brain in a robotic body), I suppose a case for making Richie Rich Casper's reincarnation could be feasible.
DeleteI'd never appreciated that Caspar and Richie have the same face. Add another vote to the "Caspar is Richie's ghost" tally.
ReplyDeleteFrom a previous life. A la Victoria Winters meeting the "ghost" of Josette in Tim Burton's DARK SHADOWS.
DeleteOr Victoria actually being the daughter of Elizabeth Stoddard, as was from what I gather something they had planned before Barnabbas took over the series.
ReplyDeleteLike the exact quantity of licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world will never know!
