Richie Rich and Warbucks

[Vic Pratt]

Daddy Warbucks is the bald-headed, rough tough
adventurer millionaire of Harold Gray's excellent
Little Orphan Annie newspaper strip. Warbucks is a
kind of rugged individualist reflecting Gray's
right-leaning politics...but don't let that put you
off-though prone to moralising, Gray is a unique and
gifted cartoonist, that you chaps ought to
investigate...the strip is currently appearing in that
fine magazine Comics Revue.

As for Richie Rich, I have nothing good to say about
him. He's some creepy weedy little spoilt rich kid,
wearing some dumb velvet pantaloons and bow tie. By
rights all comics featuring the little milksop should
be shredded.

But neither of these rich folk have a string
collection to rival Mc Duck. He should be at the top
of the list.

Cheerio
