Archie's Pal Jughead #110
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Catalyst," Jughead's latest culinary experiment—a two-foot-long hamburger—lands him in hot water when Pop kicks him out, but the oversized sandwich soon proves its worth when Jughead uses it to fend off a hoodlum. With Betty by his side, the duo turns the massive meal into a surprisingly effective weapon against a pair of troublemaking hooligans, earning a surprising new name for the sandwich and a second chance at Pop's shop. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Samm Schwartz—whose distinctive art defines the entire issue, from story to cover—this 1964 classic blends humor, heart, and a touch of chaos in a single, memorable meal.
In "The Catalyst," Jughead's chemistry teacher declares him a real-life catalyst—someone who triggers reactions in others. As Jughead walks the halls explaining the concept to Archie, every person they pass suddenly starts arguing, turning the school into a chaos of squabbles. When he finally guides a visitor to Mr. Weatherbee’s office, the visitor reveals a surprising twist: he’s a robber, and he’s just stolen the school’s payroll.
In "Profit Sharing Plan," Jughead stumbles upon Pop’s unusual eclair deal—two for a quarter—when a customer balks at the price. Seeing an opportunity, Jughead steps in with a dime to take the second eclair, turning a simple snack into a moment of impromptu negotiation.
In "Litter Perfect," Jughead’s sudden act of tidiness catches Reggie off guard—until he learns Jughead lost a contest prize of fifty dollars, not cash. Reggie’s frantic search through the trash only deepens the mystery, turning a simple cleanup into a hilarious misadventure.
In "Bread and Batter," Jughead’s oversized hamburger—created after being kicked out by Pop—becomes an unlikely weapon when a lone hoodlum threatens him outside the shop. When two more troublemakers crash the Chok'lit Shoppe, Jughead and Betty use the giant burgers to defend the place, turning the tables in a surprisingly tasty showdown. Pop, impressed by the chaos and the heroism, declares the sandwich a permanent menu star: the "Jughead Burgerino."
In "Photo Finished," Jughead is shocked to discover he’s missing from the grade school photo, sparking a panic that leads him to search for his graduation certificate—only to find it’s gone. Without proof of graduation, he’s forced to take a test he’s unprepared for, and when he fails, he’s told he must repeat fifth grade.
