Archie's Pal Jughead #64
In "Sticks and Stones Will Break My Bones, But Luck Will Never Hurt Me!", Jughead's latest scheme takes flight when he buys a parakeet and tries to teach it to talk—only to find the bird's vocabulary is far more colorful than he expected. When Mr. Weatherbee dismisses the girls’ request for a bird feeder, the parakeet’s sudden, repeated phrases from the schoolyard start making the principal question his own sanity. Art by Samm Schwartz brings the whole chaotic, feathered farce to life, with Schwartz also handling the cover.
