Richie Rich Digest Magazine #22

In "Richie Rich and the Bug! Part 1," Richie and his father are drugged by an electronic bug planted by a sneaky ambassador during a flight, setting off a kidnapping plot in a foreign country. Meanwhile, back in Richville, look-alikes of the Riches take over and make the shocking decision to fire Cadbury.

In "The Bug, Part 2: Richie Rich and Troubles with Doubles," the real Richie Rich faces a double trouble when an impostor takes over his father’s company, claiming Cadbury is fired and delivering a suspiciously grim report at a Rich Enterprises meeting. With the real Mr. Rich nowhere to be found, the impostor’s greed leads him to a hidden, massive piggy bank, but Cadbury, piecing together clues—like the fact that Mr. Rich never smokes—realizes something’s wrong and alerts Bascomb. Together, they uncover the deception just in time to outwit the impostor and bring the scheme to a dramatic halt.

Jo and her parents try to escape Reggie’s endless pranks by fleeing to a remote cabin, but even there, his mischievous tricks find them—no matter how far they run. Written by a longtime humor writer and illustrated with lively, exaggerated art, this lighthearted gag strip captures the chaos of a kid whose jokes always land, no matter the distance.
