“Backfire”

In "Backfire," Jughead finds an unlikely kindred spirit in Judy, a girl who shares his disdain for the opposite sex—though their mutual aversion takes an unexpected turn when a clumsy kiss leaves Judy smitten and Jughead completely unfazed. With Samm Schwartz handling both art and inks, this 1961 classic captures the awkward charm of teenage misfires, all wrapped in a cover by Samm Schwartz.

Jughead meets Judy, who dislikes boys as much as Jughead dislikes girls. The two hit it off, but make the mistake of kissing, which has no effect on Jughead, but makes Judy fall in love with Jughead. That doesn't work out.
