Richie Rich & Jackie Jokers #24

In "The Halloween Party," Richie and Jackie throw a festive celebration full of tricks and treats, where a game of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" takes a surprising turn when Pee Wee accidentally pins the crook to the wall. Chaos unfolds when Mrs. Katz ends up with a jack-o'-lantern on her head, startling the thief into fleeing—only to be caught by the police. Meanwhile, Mrs. Katz wins best costume without even entering the contest.

In "Just Throw Money," Jackie takes the stage for his stand-up routine, cracking a joke about a trip to the doctor—only to be met with silence. After quipping that if people don’t like the jokes, they should just throw money instead, he’s instantly proven right when Richie Rich tosses a stack of cash straight at him.

In "The Confidence Game," Jackie’s stage nerves hit a low after a disastrous performance, but a well-meaning scientist steps in with a wild invention: the first electronic theatre audience. When the laughter button malfunctions and spirals out of control, Jackie’s confidence soars—though the resulting sonic chaos might just keep the Riches up all night.

In "The Baseball Game," Jackie Jokers and his mischievous clones take the field in a hilariously absurd showdown against a visiting team that’s doomed by their literal take on baseball slang—like going on strike when the umpire calls one. Written with playful wit and drawn in the classic, energetic style of the era, this five-page gem turns the diamond into a stage for slapstick chaos.

In "Hard Cash," Uncle Titus teases Richie with a lavish mattress he claims is worth a fortune, sparking the boy's imagination—only for Richie to discover the luxurious lie when he lands on a pile of coins instead of cash. The story plays on the surprise of expectation versus reality, all in the classic, lighthearted spirit of the series.

In "The Hoofer," Jackie Jokers convinces Ben Booker he's got the moves to make it big in showbiz—despite the dry spell. Posing as a variety of workers, Jackie hams it up to land a gig, finally landing a job that’s more hoof than stage.
