Richie Rich #111

When Richie Rich picks up a seemingly ordinary fly swatter, his father’s sudden panic sets off a chain of surprises—especially when the swatter proves to be anything but ordinary. What starts as a curious demonstration on the estate grounds quickly turns into a high-stakes chase when two crooks steal the weapon after witnessing its power.

In a story from *Richie Rich* #111 (1971), Nurse Jenny worries she’s become unnecessary on the Rich estate, where everyone’s always in perfect health. To keep her around, Richie cleverly challenges her with riddles from a book, turning her daily routine into a game of wits.

When two bumbling crooks steal a dangerously powerful fly-swatter, they kick off a wild car chase with Richie and his dad, turning the streets into a high-speed obstacle course. With a few clever gadgets and a bit of luck, Mr. Rich’s car stays on the road—while the crooks’ own misuse of the swatter backfires in increasingly hilarious ways. In the end, the Riches’ quick thinking and a little gadgetry keep the chaos from spreading further.
