Occupy Richie Rich

Having infinite money means never having to wear pants. Read from the beginning

Briefly rising from the dead to post this rich assemblage of features: A visual representation of how many servants work in the Rich mansion and the dumb shit they called to answer for, Richie with a fucking iPhone, and Reggie’s phone number literally being “EVILKID”.

Big ups to the still-alive and still-posting Richie Rich Comics Fan Club on wordpress for the scans, which were accompanied by a fairly interesting interview regarding the attempted reboot.  Check that shit out.

Okay back to my labyrinthine subterranean tomb to enter a meditative state until the revolution comes.

Now that we know that this blog is dead, are you going to shut it down? I hope you won't, because I might want to browse through the blog again.

I have no intention of taking the archives down, no.  It will stay up as long as tumblr does, or I guess until I get a copyright notice. :V

Hey... I was wondering if this blog is dead or not?

This blog is as dead as a doornail.  Mind, I don't mean to say that I know, of myown knowledge, what there is particularly dead abouta door-nail.  I might have been inclined, myself, toregard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.  But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed handsshall not disturb it, or the Country's done for.  Youwill therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that this blog is as dead as a door-nail.

New series has Richie earn his wealth through inventing eco-friendly tech. This is blasphemy and must be stopped.

Richie Rich having earned wealth is hardly Richie Rich at all.

There are nowhere near enough dollar signs in this promo image or logo. >:|

The latest salvo in DreamWorks Animation’s attempts to “exploit” the Richie Rich IP. It’s too bad Mr. Peabody & Sherman flopped; maybe we could have gotten more Rocky and Bullwinkle stuff instead of this dreck.

oh nooooooooo

[occupyrichierich]

What do you think of the Richie Rich Movie?

I haven't seen it.  The plan was to at some point livestream and comment on it with some friends but my hiatus happened before that.  I am thinking about starting back up for halloween or christmas but shhhh keep that under your hat.

The Richie Rich collection retails at prices that only the poor little rich boy himself could afford: tanktops cost $62, hats $70, wallets $110, sweatshirts $158, and backpacks $200.

there's really nothing I can add to this

anonus:

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this, but DreamWorks Animation owns the rights to Richie Rich now and has licensed his likeness out for this junk.

oh my god

It’s funny because actual real people stories are filled with sickening horrific atrocities

This is a panel of Mr. Rich inviting Cadbury to bed. Look at those eyes.

"we’re all too old for this type of dream, long as we all dreamin lets have a consequence-free three-way”

heyyyy, I was visiting a friend with some medical problems and a not-great living situation for the latter part of this week, and this mwf thing is actually not better than filling the queue for me. (in my defense I would note that my average posts per day over the past two and a half years not counting askbox replies or meta stuff is still slightly above 0.5.)

I think after two and a half years and over 500 posts wringing blood from this stone that I need a break for a while.  I am deeply, deeply grateful that a thousand people thought me ranting about children's comics was worth clogging their dash with (somehow including comics curmudgeon, personal hero of mine, and being-mean-about-comics-on-the-internet gold standard josh fruhlinger, which is insane).

if I had ever monetized this thing in any way I would totally do an oprah-esque ERRYBODY GETS A NEW CAR type give-back deal, but I never felt comfortable with that for various reasons.  if you want or ever wanted to throw a coin in my virtual internet upturned busker hat to show appreciation, please instead donate to Polaris Project to fight forced labor and other forms of human trafficking,

I may pick this back up again someday (the interior actual comics are still rich with untapped wacky awfulness), and I'll make a necro post here if I start another humor writing project.  (you may or may not have missed Check Your Local Listings.)  until then, thanks super a lot for sharing all this weird nonsense with me.  it's been rad.

What's the deal with Richie's Casper crossovers having to all be "a dream"? Have you figured out a reason why the writers insist on maintaining Richie's ignorance of magic and crap? It better be a good reason (although I should know better), because even as a faux-reader, these "I must be dreaming" contrivances are driving me fucking nuts.

You and me both, friend.  I have yet to see any stated explanation at all, let alone a remotely satisfactory one.

In my day to day life I too often preface entering a building by saying "Oh boy, I'd sure like to fool around in there!"

"Billionaires stick together!  Why we'll just let him out of the safe we imprisoned him in for several hours and tell him that with all the money we stole from his folks we're now billionaires too, and we'll be pals for life!"

Sound logic.

[occupyrichierich]

EVEN RICHIE noticed the hamhanded naming scheme of the villains du jour.  That giant fucking head must be pulling its weight.

Seriously the relative proportions here are freaking me the fuck out.
