In "Baby, It's Cold Outside," Archie and Jughead face a chilly dilemma when they bring home a pig they won at a contest—only to find Archie’s dad firmly against keeping it indoors. With the temperature dropping and no easy solution in sight, the duo sets out to find a proper home for their unexpected guest, all while navigating the usual mix of friendship, humor, and small-town chaos. Written by Dan Parent and illustrated by Bill Golliher, with inks by Jim Amash, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli, the issue’s cozy, heartfelt tone shines through. The cover by Jeff Shultz captures the moment perfectly.
