Richie Rich Fortunes #52

In "Richie Rich and Pal," Keenbean builds a high-tech robot playmate for Richie, designed to excel at sports—though the machine can't speak and stumbles at every game. When a robbery attempt turns the robot into an unexpectedly effective guard, Richie finds himself with a companion who’s more useful than he ever expected.

In this quirky 1980 tale from *Richie Rich Fortunes* #52, Richie spins a playful tale during a TV interview, claiming his old west town stands out because it’s home to a gold nugget café—literally inside a massive, real gold nugget.

In "Mr. Sloppo," Jo finds himself unexpectedly roped into mediating a neighborhood dispute when Mr. Rich asks him to clean up the messy estate of his disorganized neighbor, Mr. Sloppo. What starts as a simple request takes a chaotic turn when a sudden gust of wind flips the situation—leaving the once-pristine Rich property in complete disarray.

In "Supersnob," Reggie’s sudden obsession with snobbery takes a hilariously misguided turn when he boasts about acing a nonexistent snobbery course—only to learn the hard way that being a snob is actually a curse. Mr. Snobwell’s revelation and Chef Pierre’s pie-tossing comeuppance deliver a perfectly silly, slapstick punchline in this short, sharp 1980 comic gem.
