Richie Rich #248

When Lotta can't fit into her swimsuit, Mr. Plump takes her to the doctor, who prescribes a special formula to tame her appetite. But late at night, the medicine backfires—Lotta’s cravings spiral out of control, and she transforms into a ravenous food monster, raiding fire hydrants across the city.

In "You Misunderstand Me," Richie Rich finds himself caught in a mix-up when Gloria, furious over a misunderstanding, thinks he's been dating someone else—only to learn the truth: the girl in question was just a child actress playing a role in a soap opera. Written by the team behind the series, this lighthearted five-page tale captures the chaos of teenage crushes and mistaken identities with a classic touch.

When Lotta’s hunger strikes again and she accidentally overdoses on the appetite-suppressing formula a second time, her antics escalate—this time with a spree of fire hydrant thefts. Now on the run, she vows revenge on her doctor, while Mr. Plump finds himself in court, facing a judge who demands he pay to replace the stolen hydrants.

In "Let Us Play," Richie Rich’s endless fun with his oversized robotic animals lands him in trouble with the principal, who’s baffled by his lack of studying—until he gets a hands-on demo of just how entertaining the toys really are.
