Archie's Pal Jughead #81

In "Where's Charlie?", Jughead’s skepticism about alien tales takes a bizarre turn when a bus stop sign starts speaking to him—only to reveal itself as a friendly, shape-shifting alien he cheekily names Charlie. The alien delights in playing tricks on Archie and Veronica, turning the usual teen antics into something delightfully out of this world.

In "Date's the Limit," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly roped into a date with Sally, all as part of a scheme by the U. G. A. J. to get him interested in girls. Though Sally tries her best to make it memorable, Jughead remains blissfully distracted—just like always.

In "The Blob," Jughead’s latest science experiment goes hilariously awry when a red, jelly-like substance comes to life, mimicking his friends in outline form and devouring every morsel in sight. As it grows bolder, the creature attempts to imitate Archie and Veronica in a dramatic embrace—only to accidentally strangle itself off-panel.

In "Snacketeer," Jughead’s latest snack-fueled raid on the Lodge refrigerator leaves Mr. Lodge scrambling to restock—only to find his pantry empty again when Jughead shows up. This time, the wealthy patriarch isn’t having it: he’ll only let Jughead in if he’s already eaten a full meal.

When teenage movie star Wednesday Thursday hits Riverdale for the prom, her fading fame makes her manager desperate for a comeback—so he enlists Jughead Jones to escort her, hoping a photo-op with the town’s most legendary slacker will reignite her star power.
