Archie's Pal Jughead #31

Jughead's eternal battle with an empty stomach — and an empty wallet — takes center stage in this August 1955 issue, where the cover panels show him loudly protesting a 60-cent bacon and tomato sandwich to a diner counterman, only to get the perfectly deadpan retort that prices drop when the bacon runs out. Four comic strip panels walk you through the whole absurd negotiation, culminating in Jughead's wide-mouthed, crown-topped outrage that captures everything lovable about Archie's perpetually hungry pal. With the interior story titled "Larceny and Old Lace," this is a fine slice of mid-fifties Riverdale humor at its most relatable.
