Archie's Pal Jughead #29
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Socks Alive," Jughead stumbles into a peculiar pitch from a merchant who insists on selling a collapsible doll carriage—only to hilariously undercut the idea by pointing out his cousin doesn’t own any collapsible dolls. Samm Schwartz’s expressive art brings the absurdity to life in this classic 1955 slice of Archie humor, where even the most mundane purchases become a playground of wit.
In "A Very Doll Gag," Jughead's trademark wit takes center stage as a merchant tries to sell him a collapsible doll carriage—only for Jughead to deliver a perfectly deadpan punchline that flips the pitch on its head. The story’s humor hinges on a simple, clever misunderstanding, showcasing the classic absurdity that defines Jughead’s world.
In "For Friendship's Ache," Jughead faces a trio of requests—Archie’s plea for cash and Reggie’s demand for help with algebra—both of which he politely turns down. When a passing salesman offers a surprising suggestion, Jughead finds himself at a crossroads between loyalty and... dog leashes.
