A Rkchie Rich story in which Richie's mean cousin Reggie shrinks Richie and his girlfriend Gloria to microscopic size. After the ray is reversed, they grow to about ten feet tall, then they take turns spanking Reggie. (It turned out to be a reprint from 1967. (Before my time.) That would explain why Gloria's blouse was red instead of its usual white.)

Looking for this was a pain but it's in the Archive, reprinted several times into the 1990s but this is the original. I remember a Filipino komiks book where a bumbling scientist also invented an Enlarger and Reducer pair of devices then accidentally shrunk his supermodel daughter during a demo, could be the writer picked that up from this story.

Thanks for the effort digging that up! This is what I love the forums for!

In Richie Rich and Casper #10, Wendy the Good Little Witch's Christmas gift to Casper, given to her by her three mean aunts, is a genie's lamp that turns out to have a "meanie genie" in it. At the end of the first part of the story, the genie shrinks everyone in the Rich mansion (including Richie's mother and a visiting aunt) and imprisons them in his lamp. Not as good as "Reggie Thinks Small", but at least it has SW content. I read at least four other shrinking-themed Richie Rich stories back then (though Harvey published an embarrassing number of Richie Rich titles in the 1970's), but only Richie and other male characters got shrunk.

I found this issue on the Internet Archive, but I don't know how to link to it.

Someone posted this cover on the MeTV Toons Fans Facebook group:

The topic was Supergirl not being in Superfriends (the TV show). One of the comments was that Supergirl wasn't in Superfriends, but the bottled city of Kandor was, though they didn't say which episode. I wonder if that's a different episode than the one in which an entire city is shrunk while the Wonder Twins are in it? ("I feel like I'm shrinking!" "The whole city is shrinking!")
