Moe Money!
Moe could use a little bartenderly advice of his own when his past, in the form of
the long lost Syzslak clan, catches up with him. But will this lost and found saga
reunite Moe with the family he longs for, or will it prove to be another opportunity
for life to kick him in the teeth?

That's Moe dressed as Richie Rich, of course, leading us to surmise that perhaps
they copied a Richie Rich cover. Found plenty of cover images of Richie Rich swimming in,
standing on, shoveling, hauling, thatching roofs with and otherwise using money in creative
ways but after checking hundreds of covers in two dozen series no simple wheelbarrels of money.
