Archie's Pal Jughead #26

A classic slice of Riverdale wit from 1954, this issue finds Jughead sitting across from a cheerful blonde at the malt shop, defending his girl-avoiding philosophy with characteristic deadpan logic — his crowned beanie firmly in place and a towering ice cream sundae within reach. In the background, a lovesick Archie swooning over a girl makes the perfect counterargument to Jughead's case. Bill Vigoda's clean, expressive linework captures the warm, breezy charm that made these Archie Series comics such a delight.
