Archie's Pal Jughead #48

In "Paid In Fool," Jughead spins a wild scheme: he becomes a paid romantic escort, transforming himself into whatever fantasy a girl imagines—complete with disguises and dramatic flair. With Reggie as his reluctant apprentice, the duo's money-making hustle takes a risky turn when Reggie tries to stir up trouble by setting up Midge and tipping off Moose, all while Jughead’s latest client remains blissfully unaware of the chaos brewing.

In "Tricks of the Trade!" from Archie's Pal Jughead #48 (1958), Betty tries to spend time with Archie, who’s in need of an old turtle for a science project—so Jughead comes up with a clever (if mischievous) plan to make a regular turtle look ancient by writing something on its shell.

In "Foxy Proxy," Reggie’s attempt to sneak around by sending Archie as his stand-in to a meeting backfires when Veronica falls ill, forcing Jughead to pick Midge as her dance proxy instead. Now trapped in a web of mistaken identities, a panicked Reggie scrambles to convince Moose he’s only pretending to date Midge—until he finally resorts to paying Jughead to take over the role when Moose returns.
