Richie Rich Digest Magazine #23

In "Protective Pranks," Richie and his loyal friend Cadbury test out a new batch of anti-crook gadgets on a suspicious stranger—only to discover the "thief" was actually Mr. Rich in disguise, turning the tables in a clever, lighthearted twist.

In "Sonny and Paw," Jo and her dad, a pair of bumbling burglars who take every word literally, accidentally turn a heist into a comedy of errors. When the duo’s absurd antics land them in Mr. Rich’s clutches, the billionaire marvels at how the son’s literal-mindedness outdoes even his previous record for silliest crook.

In "Light Reading," Mr. Rich is on the edge of solving the mystery in his novel—until the light bulb blows, plunging him into darkness. With the book misplaced by Chef Pierre in the library’s endless shelves, Mr. Rich’s suspenseful hunt for the culprit takes a comical turn, even as the light is restored.

In "Poor Showing," Richie Rich tries a new kind of generosity—choosing not to spend money on Gloria, thinking it’s for her own good. But when she reacts with disappointment, upset that she’s already bragged about his usual generosity to her cousin, Richie finds himself baffled by her reaction.
