Whole Lotta burgers going on!

Today we look at a story from Harvey Comics' heyday.  This Little Lotta (yeah, right!)story appeared in Richie Rich Millions #13 (dated June 1965).  True to her character, Lotta salivates like Pavlov's dog at the thought of consuming mass quantities of food, especially if it's offered to her for free!  Sit back, pull up a feeding trough, and get ready for hi-jinks galore as Lotta attempts to bankrupt a small eatery on its first day of business!


GANGWAY, EVERYONE!!!  Lotta will not be denied, and if that means you become a permanent part of the pavement because you didn't heed the warning, so be it!  Good thing the manager opened the door in the nick of time or there would be shards of  glass all over that place.  Hey, at least she said "thank you" before snatching a stack of burgers!


Too bad, Dot!  Lotta's gonna scarf down that last one on the tray!  As the saying goes, you snooze, you lose!


How resourceful of you, Lotta!  You might, I don't know, burn a few calories going back and forth!  I suppose you got enough exercise for the day hauling ass to that burger joint to begin with!

Ha ha ha!  Oh, Dot, you're such a card!  Implying that your hefty friend ate one of the metal trays.  On the plus side, that tray is probably much lower in cholesterol and an important source of iron.  But if Lotta is to win that prize, she needs to save room for those burgers, or she'll "put on 20 pounds trying."  Suuuure!  I see a disability scooter in her future...


Is it just me, or is that manager a bit overdressed for a burger joint?  C'mon, it's not the Brown Derby!

And no, Lotta, he didn't make a mistake; take the hint!  There's other people there who'd like to eat, too!

And how did she get that tray?  She didn't have it when she was "escorted" outside.  Was it lying in the street?  Or did she have it hidden somewhere on her body?  Either way, GROSS!!!


Wow, how many has she had so far?  Why aren't all the other customers bitching to the manager about her cutting in line, scheming, and gluttony?

And notice Chubby Tubbs there taking his father's hamburger!  He didn't even ask his dad something like "You're not gonna eat that, are you?"  Lotta doesn't see a problem with that; no, her beef (no pun intended) is it's unfair that someone isn't waiting in line for HER to fetch her hamburgers!  Hey, Dot!  HINT HINT!


OK, now we're getting into property damage!  And the kitchen chef is not fazed at all either by Lotta's yanking the door out of the wall or her strolling through the kitchen like she owned the place!  How gullible is this guy?  Try pulling that stuff on Gordon Ramsay, Lotta; he would bark at you to get the f#(k out!


You mean someone was keeping count?  125???  I don't think that many hot dogs were ever consumed by one contestant at Nathan's 4th of July contest.  This girl should be hanging her head over a toilet by now!

And what's with that look Lotta gives the manager as she declares "I'm still hungry?"  I think I'm beginning to understand why Catholics consider gluttony one of the seven deadly sins; you mess with Lotta during one of her feedings, you might end up dead!

And there's her door prize....literally!  Lotta shouldn't be surprised, though!  It's not like they falsely advertised.  And considering you wolfed down over 100 hamburgers without spending a dime, you really don't have a thing to complain about!

BTW, I've heard on clip-on bow ties, but clip-on hair ribbons?  That thing is not too secure on her head if it can fly straight up so easily.  Or....may it IS a bow tie!  Like the one Richie Rich wears!  You been raiding his wardrobe, Lotta???

ANNNND...that concludes this post!  I'll have another one for you in a couple of days!  Till next time!

Excelsior!
