unreferenced date February 2012 The Bumpkin Billionaires was originally a comic strip in the United Kingdom UK comic book comic Whoopee comic Whoopee . It first appeared in issue 1, dated 9 March 1974. The main characters in the story were a family of four country yokel s &mdash Ma and Pa and their children Billy and Daisy &mdash who had come into a great deal of money possibly inspired by The Beverly Hillbillies . As the saying goes, however, money does not bring happiness and this particular family saw their wealth as more of a curse than a blessing. They aspired to returning to the simple life of paupers and were desperate to get rid of their money. Thus they would come up with an endless number of Get rich quick scheme get poor quick schemes , much to the distress of their long suffering bank manager. The stories usually ended with the Bumpkins plans backfiring, leaving them either as well off as they were before or even more wealthy, much to the delight of the bank manager. This proved very popular with kids. When Whoopee merged with Whizzer and Chips in 1985, the strip went with it, becoming part of the Whizzer section. Likewise, when Whizzer and Chips merged with Buster comic Buster in 1990, the strip continued there. It remained in Buster until the comic s last issue at the beginning of 2000, though, as with all other strips by this time, it had by now become a reprint. it was drawn by Mike Lacey throughout except for the last years in Whizzer and Chips by Jim Hanson.
