Archie's Pal Jughead #22

In "Easel Said Than Done!", Reggie tries to win Veronica’s favor with his art, but Jughead quietly plants seeds of doubt in Archie’s mind about the portrait’s authenticity—leading to a messy, memorable showdown when Veronica finally takes a swing at the canvas.

In "Dixie Doodles!", Jughead dons a flamboyant disguise as the Southern belle Agatha Culpepper, complete with a fake accent and a whole lot of charm—enough to fool Moose into thinking he’s meeting Midge. When the prank backfires spectacularly, Jughead finds himself on the receiving end of a beating, explaining to Archie and Reggie how Midge wasn’t fooled and took his antics very personally.

In "Speech-Less!", Jughead takes on Reggie in a tongue-tied challenge, wagering he’s read every word of Reggie’s endless monologues—right down to the dictionary. With a straight face and a stack of print, Jughead flips open the ultimate reference, turning Reggie’s usual bluster into a literal word-for-word showdown.

In "Real Gone Guy," Jughead’s infamous grammar slip lands him in detention when Miss Grundy makes him write "gone home" a hundred times. After finishing, he finds her gone and leaves a note with the very mistake he was supposed to correct—just to see what happens.

In "It's All Mental," Jughead's famously unshakable love for hamburgers takes center stage as Professor Snodgrass attempts a word association test—only to be met with relentless, single-minded replies. When Mr. Weatherbee sends him to lunch and Jughead returns, his fixation remains as unwavering as ever.

In "The Lawn Ranger!", Wilbur’s obsession with daydreaming while mowing the lawn leaves his yard in shambles—until his dad takes matters into his own hands with a pair of blinders. The comic captures the classic teen humor of the era, turning a simple chore into a surprisingly surreal mishap.

In "What the Doctor Ordered," Jughead dreams up a sundae so colossal it defies reason—Pop Tate, ever the indulgent host, builds it to order for just a dollar. The final touch? A key on top, so Jughead can lock up the shop once he’s finished eating.

In "Tape a Chance!", Jughead tries a clever shortcut by recording his lessons on tape and playing them while he sleeps—only for Reggie to sabotage the plan by swapping the tape with a crooner's old music. When Reggie ends up taking a chemistry test, he’s shocked to find Jughead effortlessly winning over the girls in History class, all while serenading them with the very song he’d accidentally recorded.

In "Cat and Mouse," Archie tries to dodge a date with Veronica at the Cat Show by faking a fight injury, thanks to Jughead’s questionable advice—only for Reggie to copy the trick to avoid the same fate. Now left holding the bag, Jughead ends up stuck going to the show with Veronica, while the real chaos unfolds.
