It’s time for some Reggie stories! Why Richie is so nice to him, I will never understand, but I suppose it’s not as if Richie has such a huge pool of friends to draw from. If Freckles, Peewee, and Gloria are busy, all he has is Reggie!
I wonder if Richie had to pay these Harvey folk off to attend the party because I doubt anyone truly wanted to be there for Reggie’s sake!
And now, a super fun snowball fight!
Speaking of paying people off, I wonder if Joe helped Reggie out for free? It appears Richie didn’t pay Jimmy, but methinks there must have been something in it for him. Perhaps a new stadium!
My baseball knowledge is extremely limited, but are the names “Joe Retch” and “Jimmy Harrison” puns on some actual baseball player names? I can’t find any information on the greatest rapid-fire anybody on the web.
Are you a fan of the Richie/Reggie fight stories?

You have to love the “arms races” Richie and Reggie have. Reminds me of the water gun fight they have in the Ja-Ru Video Set:

And isn’t it amazing how quickly baseball players can drop everything and show up to participate in this fight? Or did the fight last over several days?
Good point, I am going to go with the several days aspect, although these kids could afford to charter the Concorde to get the players! Wow, the Concorde. I can’t remember when I last said that!
I remember a Richie-Reggie fight that escalated out of control to where they were actually about to fire missiles at each other. Their dad’s had to put a stop to it, and at the end, both git spanked.
That sounds interesting, I will look for it!
It would have been funnier if Richie said “of course you know this means war.”
The snowball fight kind of reminds of an old Donald Duck cartoon.
If you are wondering why Richie is nice to Reggie in spite of Reggie’s bad behavior, I think it’s because Richie knows the importance of family, and Reggie is his cousin after all.
That’s a really good point. I guess Reggie is the closest thing he has to a brother.
