Archie's Pal Jughead #119
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Statue," Jughead stumbles upon an ancient Egyptian statue at the museum and—true to form—brings it to life with a bit of curiosity and a lot of grease. What follows is a delightfully absurd chain of events as the newly animated statue, clad in what can only be described as museum-accurate ancient garb, tries (and fails) to intimidate Betty and Veronica, only to finally scare Midge—until Moose steps in with a single, decisive punch. Samm Schwartz’s distinctive art brings the whole chaotic, humorous escapade to life, from the statue’s awkward movements to the exaggerated expressions of the gang.
In "The Statue," Jughead stumbles upon an ancient Egyptian statue in a museum and—true to form—brings it to life with a mix of curiosity and hunger. What follows is a delightfully absurd chain of mishaps as the newly animated statue, clad in mismatched ancient garb, attempts to navigate the modern world, only to be baffled by everything from hamburgers to high school drama. With Betty and Veronica laughing at his outfit and Midge briefly startled, it’s up to Moose to restore order with a single, decisive punch.
In "Trash Treasure," Jughead's old sweater becomes an unexpected project when his mom buys new paint—prompting him to offer help sorting through the trash, just to make sure his favorite sweater doesn’t get tossed.
In "Baker's Dozen," Jughead’s clumsy stumble sends a pie flying straight into Reggie’s face, sparking a full-blown pie fight at the local diner. As chaos unfolds and everyone gets a taste of the delicious treat, the sudden hunger leads the whole group to settle in and enjoy the pies they’ve just thrown.
In "Plant Pirate," Archie and Jughead take a mischievous detour when Mr. Weatherbee accidentally ruins Miss Grundy’s prized soil, leading to a slapstick chain of plant rescues. With the final geranium landing squarely on Weatherbee’s head, chaos blooms in the most unexpected way.
When the "United Girls Against Jughead" enlist a computer to find Jughead’s soulmate—hoping to reform his girl-avoiding ways—they accidentally fry the machine with their very first query. The whole scheme backfires in classic Archie-style chaos, leaving the girls stunned and the computer smoking.
