Description
Here's a Ben Brown (attributed) page from 1975 as the first entry to open my new Harvey Comics gallery. Hopefully somewhere down the road Richie will be joined by Casper, Hot Stuff, Little Audrey, Baby Huey, and some of the other Harvey gang.

In this clever one-pager, the annual Rich, Inc. picnic gives new meaning to the phrase "soda fountain." Rendered at twice-up scale in ink over blue pencil (not blue lines) on Bristol board. This one has been sitting around for 6 or 8 months, so glad to finally post it.

Wonderful page.  I keep seeing these 4-5 page Richie Rich stories go up on HA all the time and have been tempted to go after one.  You may have just inspired me with this post.

Well, this all falls back on Larry Jones then! Talking to him at OAX 2025 about Droids art and Warren Kremer took me down this path of squirrels. And what a fun path it is shaping up to be.

Nice page. Thanks for sharing! . Is this board a standard 11 x 17 or oversized?

It is twice up, so the image area is 12" x 18" and the board closer to 13" x 20".

Richie Rich had more titles than Batman does right now (and that's saying something)!

The world needs a Cadbury/Alfred team-up book.

It's love...

It's love...
Love... get Richie
Everybody's talkin all this stuff of money (Now now)
Why don't they just Richie Rich (Oh oh oh)
I don't need commissions
Make Bob Brown decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative

They say I'm Harvey
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say it's nasty
But I don't give fountains
Get artworks is how I live
Some daddy's fortunes
Why am I for deals
But they don't understand me
I really wan't sodas real
About a butler
Trying Glad to make her light
Not long Freckles
Befo' I win this fight
SING!

Everybody's drawing all this stuff for Harvey
Why don't they just Richie Rich (Tell me why)
I don't need permission
Get my own commissions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
(It's my prerogative)

Fun gag page! Bob Brown never drew Richie Rich though, so it's likely drawn by Ben Brown.

Thanks for the error catch, Ruben! Fixed in the description and the attribution.
