Archie's Pal Jughead #23
In "Dots the Trouble," Jughead, Archie, and the gang are thrown into a minor crisis when Dilbert’s perfect 100 on a test slips to a 99, sending him into a spiral. George Frese’s expressive art captures the classic humor and high-stakes drama of a high schooler’s emotional meltdown over a single point, as Archie and Jughead race to help—only to discover the real culprit is a simple aspirin.
