Richie Rich Cash #38

Harvey's "Poor Little Rich Boy" is back for more money-flavored fun in this January 1981 issue of Richie Rich Cash. The cover sets the cheerful tone perfectly: Richie and a freckled red-haired pal look on with wide-eyed surprise at a menacing, living dollar-sign creature — a "Scare-Dough," as its speech bubble proudly declares, promising to keep the "Spar-Doughs" away, with bundles of cash sprouting from its head like a scarecrow in a money patch. It's exactly the kind of clever, pun-packed silliness that made Harvey Comics a beloved staple of the era.
