Richie Rich Jackpots #53

In "The Instant Traveler," Keenbean’s latest invention zaps Reggie to a South Pacific island, where he’s nervously greeted by a tribe that seems ready to—well, not actually harm him. But when Richie and a police officer show up to save the day, it turns out the whole thing was just a prank, all thanks to a little misfired machine and a lot of mistaken identity.

Richie Rich, ever the prankster with a filing cabinet full of tricks, decides to spice things up by sending a seemingly innocent filing cabinet to Reggie—complete with a jack-in-the-box surprise meant to catch him off guard.

In "It's How You Look at It," a meteor crash on the Rich estate unearths a diamond statue of an alien president, prompting a pair of visiting extraterrestrials to reclaim it—only to reward Richie Rich with a diamond statue of their own. When a third alien arrives seeking the original, he flees upon seeing Richie’s likeness, leaving behind a mystery in the sky.

In "The Smartest Ape, Part 1," Reggie, inspired by a science experiment, dons a monkey costume and tries to impress the lab’s resident apes—only to be quickly labeled the least intelligent until he impresses them with a neat trick sorting blocks alphabetically. But even that clever move doesn’t stop the older ape from giving him a playful (if painful) lesson in jungle hierarchy.

In "The Smartest Ape, Part 2: Reggie Goes Ape," Reggie, determined to prove he’s more than just a lab monkey, tries to outsmart the scientist by drawing a picture of Richie and whistling Dixie—then attempts a daring escape, running like a human at breakneck speed. But when his plan goes awry, the results are anything but clever.
