Richie Rich's Funtime Comics #29016
In "Root of All Evil," Dot finds herself behind the wheel of her Uncle Speedy’s race car at the Midget Auto Races when engine trouble strikes just before the start. With no time to spare, she jumps in to help—and ends up speeding down the track, racing past competitors in a wild, uncontrolled dash that ends with a surprising finish and a new course record. The story, illustrated with crisp energy by Steve Muffatti, captures the chaos and charm of a high-stakes race gone unexpectedly right. The cover, by Warren Kremer, perfectly captures the moment of kinetic surprise.
