Oh Richie, you poor little rich boy, how my heart bleeds for you. I wish we all had your problems. I know that poor Richie’s tree is nothing compared to yours at home, but nevertheless, happy holidays from Harvey Comics! Richie Rich #8. (Personally, I subscribe to Bart and Lisa Simpson’s theory that Casper is Richie Rich’s ghost.)

cover, Richie Rich #8

8 Days until Christmas!

The entire Advent Calendar is available here.

Why is Richie Rich the “poor little rich boy”? He has a loving family, a loyal pet, good friends and a snappy fashion sense. What is so “poor” about him?

    As we all know, rich people are all profoundly unhappy and wish they could enjoy the simpler pleasures that poor folks take for granted.

    Only thing poor about Richie Rich is his sense of tact. “Hello, my poverty-stricken friends! Just stand there and look on in awe as I flaunt my immeasurable wealth in front of you. Say, have you seen my handkerchiefs made from real gold thread? I just throw them away after I use them….”

    Call me crazy, but I think that whoever came up with that tag so long ago was using sarcasm. And I’m not being sarcastic!
