When asked later what Richie wants to be when he grows up, he says he wants to become a butler just like Cadbury.

Indexer Notes
Although this reprint is not of Cadbury's first appearance, this story is the first time that both the reader and Richie see that he is a man of action. It begins the close association Richie will have with Cadbury going forward and opens the door for the role Cadbury will play in future action-oriented adventures.
