Harvey Collectors Comics #8

In this lighthearted 1976 tale from Harvey Collectors Comics #8, Jo’s mischievous friend Reggie stumbles into Richie’s lab and accidentally knocks over a strange potion. When Cadbury drinks it by mistake, he suddenly transforms into a wild, furry beast—causing chaos for both boys before the effect finally fades. A silly, slapstick twist on a classic tale, perfect for young readers.

In "Be Careful What You Eat," Cadbury’s curiosity gets the better of him when he samples a mysterious fruit, only to balloon up and pop like a party favor—only to repeat the same fate when Mr. Rich takes a bite. As the two inflate and deflate in comedic succession, Richie, wise to the fruit’s tricks, hurls them into the river, sending them floating downstream—right into the jaws of waiting hippopotami.
