Archie's Pal Jughead #28
In "Worry Wart," Jughead faces off against Reggie in a silly but stubborn contest of endurance, where the challenge is to carry a heavy object on one’s head—only this time, Reggie thinks he’s outsmarted his rival with a Thermos bottle. But Jughead, ever the quiet underdog, walks away with a thick rubber hot water bottle on his head, proving that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Art by Samm Schwartz brings the classic Archie charm to life, capturing the lighthearted rivalry with precision and wit.

Reggie thinks he's fooled Jughead by out-balancing him using a Thermos bottle to balance on his head and only dropping it three times. He is pleased to announce that this is the gimmick that will win him the bet and that Jughead isn't allowed to use the same Thermos bottle. Jughead was carrying a hot water bottle home from the drugstore and walks easily with the thick rubber bag on his head.
