Archie's Pal Jughead #49

In "Stripe Gripe," Jughead takes on the task of painting a school wall stripe—only to try it on roller skates, leading to a chaotic, messy streak across the hall. Mr. Weatherbee, fearing distraction from a new girl, soon regrets his choice as chaos unfolds.

In "My Favorite Fiend," Jughead’s only goal is winning the big raffle prize—a television—by selling the most tickets, all while planning to offload it on a few buddies. His friends, determined to keep him from triumphing, outdo him at every turn, but their efforts only lead to everyone hitting 50 tickets… until Jughead pulls ahead with 80. When Mr. Weatherbee reveals the real winner isn’t just a prize, but a surprise for the kids at the children’s hospital, the twist lands with quiet heart.

In "A Bird to the Wise," Archie gifts Jughead a talking bird, only for Jughead to cook and eat it—prompting Archie to lament its multilingual talents. Jughead, unfazed, wonders why the bird didn’t speak up if it could talk in three languages.

In "Don't Kid Me," Jughead finds himself caught in a prank gone wrong when Archie and Reggie claim he’s hiding a kid in the tool shed—only for a real child to show up, thanks to a misunderstanding with Peanuts. The chaos unfolds as the girls confront Archie and Reggie, leaving the trio scrambling to sort out the mess.

In "Fizzician," Jughead spins a tale about sodas packing on the pounds, convincing the girls to hand over their drinks after a scale claims they’ve gained ten pounds—though Pop’s quick check reveals the scale’s off by a hefty margin.

In "Joker's Wild!" from *Archie's Pal Jughead* #49 (1958), Reggie tries to pull off a prank by faking an injury to score a soda, but when Archie sends him to Jughead for a better joke idea, the truth about Jughead’s own recent "illness" comes out—revealing that the legendary "measles" act wasn’t just a ruse.
