Birthed into existence as an insert with
City Limits Gazette # Overwhelming sadness of the monkey trapped in the garage (Sept. 1992).
For some reason I became obsessed with the fact someone ran around big comic book conventions wearing a giant cartoon head in the image of Richie Rich. This was a topic that would occasionally come up in
CLG. After awhile I was convinced the person who was parading around in that getup was cartoonist and comix scholar, Bruce Chrislip. That's him in the comic, so it is almost proof this is true.
Bruce himself denied he masqueraded as Richie Rich, so we just have to take what he says at face value. Heh-heh, get it? Face value? Anyway, I did write to Harvey Comics asking about the personnel and specifics of the giant Richie Rich head, but for some reason my query was ignored.
