Story by Dan Soto. Another ToonMZ parody exclusive. What happens when Richie Rich gets older and fat? Probably this.
Capitol Hill
Washington, DC
At the behest of key Republican Senators, Richie Rich, the world’s richest kid, flew to Capitol Hill yesterday to testify before the Senate on behalf of the 1%. With his best friend, his dog, Dollar, sitting faithfully beside him, Richie adamantly defended the 1%.
“I made my money the old fashioned way” he exclaimed in his unmistakable high-pitched voice. “I inherited it!” He went on to explain, “These 99%-ers have no idea how hard it was on me growing up with the unlimited amount of money I had at my disposal. I’ve earned the right to be proud of my 1% status. That’s something you 99%-ers will never, ever understand. Right, dollar?”
After the Senate hearing, Richie flew all Senators and staff members to Disney World in Paris for fun, games and dinner with Mickey and Minnie.

Instead of Richard Rich, I’d call him ‘Dick’.
Dick Rich? That would be a wonderful way to be also.
If I was Dick Rich, I wouldn’t take crap from anyone.
If you were dick rich you wouldn’t need that penis extender 😉
(oops sorry bearman, I couldn’t help myself)
I can’ take it Myra!! haha
It’s better than being called Dick Poor 🙁
You “can take” what, Bearman?
The abuse you all dishout to me
I was so convinced this was true I Googled it.
My information is so fast Google doesn’t have time to post it.
You out-google google? I bow to your greatness.
No groveling necessary
I wanna be in the 1%. Is there a category below the 99%? I think I’m slidin’ there fast.
Yes…it is called dead. Please stay with us
I’m hangin’ on but sometimes I feel like I’m slippin’. When I unload the groceries (and there ain’t many) from the car I have to take a nap before I do anything else.
Does that include actually taking the groceries in the house?
The thing is that anyone that inherited all this money would defend having it. If I was in the 1% I’d be smiling all the way to the bank. Just saying, and I’d bet everyone else would too if they were in the 1%.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I would pay people to smile for me.
I work for chocolate.
I would pay someone to buy you chocolate so you would smile for me.
I just wanna live a life where the price of gas has no effect on me whatsoever. If i reach that status, I know I’d have made it. 🙂
Iran?
I walked. For an I Pad.
And not have to check the price and make a decision even on small purchases.
Like at the gas pump?
That is not a small purchase.
Red.
First time ever a few weeks ago it actually cost me more than $50 to fill up.
Geez, look how obese Richie has become! He really has become a ‘fatcat’!
All that “rich” foods he eats
D’ohhhhh! Wonk wonk!
I’m cool like that.
I am surprised Dollar is still alive. With all that money I’m sure Dick Rich could afford his own gym & a personal trainer.
Problem is he pays others to work out for him so he doesn’t really get any benefits.
Those darned rich people get it way too easy!!! Die from a heart attack Dick Rich & see if we care!!!
Maybe that have machines that move you
But I thought at the end of the movie Richie Rich grew a heart. lol
What movie were you watching?
Annie?
The sun will come out tomorrow.
This is great, I’m sure scroog mcDuck would have something to say for the 1%’ers as well! I’d love to see more “where are they now” old cartoon characters, I wonder if casper would be dead…again.
Funny you should mention Caspar. I was thinking of doing on one him where the Ghost Hunters ACTUALLY find a ghost.
I’m glad Mr. Rich has kept his same haircut over the years.
I was going to make it look like his dads but then he would look like his dad.
I could quite happily marry Dick Rich because within 2 years I would take him to the cleaners and he’d be soon hanging with the 99%ers at Walmart. It’s for the best. I am concerned for his health!
He is smarter than you and would make you sign a prenup
Tsk, tsk Bearman, there are ways and means around a pre-nup 🙄
You would find them.
What percentage of people are the 1% due to inheritance? That would be interesting to know….
Also, why do rich people have weird haircuts?
When you are rich it isn’t weird, it is eccentric.
And you believe everyone will follow suit to be like you so it will no longer be weird.
Red.
At least that money is recirculating.
I could use a few more pennies.
🙂
Get em while they still make them.
I like how Richie gained some weight over the years.
Haven’t we all?
This makes me sad…only because as a child, I dreamed of one day becoming “Mrs. Rich”.
You can be but you probably won’t squeeze anything out of that miser
I work for…I’m thinking. Oh yeah, I’m retired.
I am tired today and probably will be retired tomorrow
I worked hard to be born in the right family! And to find a bow-tie this big.
Those things can choke.
That’s funny out googled google. I’d say that’s a compliment. I remember Richie Rich comic books back in the day. Sad I’m old enough to say back in the day. Gee I’d like to go to Paris, but not like that.
You could be 12 and still say back in the day though.
That’s hee-haw-larious, Bearman! Richie Rich always had it too good! This drawing is a better than the gold bullion in Richie’s smallest piggy bank!
Thanks Mark….how much is that bullion worth?
Wait, Disney World in Paris? I thought it was Disney Euro somewhere in France.
I think when it started they called it Euro Disney. Then the changed it to Disneyland Paris.
The Occupy Richie Rich Residence has begun.
Thanks for stopping by Trick!!
