Archie's Pal Jughead #88
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dependable," Jughead's casual suggestion that Archie ditch a date with Veronica for a fishing trip seems harmless—until Veronica's unexpected reaction sends Archie spiraling into a wave of jealous overthinking. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz (who handled pencils, inks, and letters), this 1962 classic captures the timeless tension between friendship, romance, and the small decisions that can unravel a day. The cover by Samm Schwartz perfectly encapsulates the story’s lighthearted yet anxious energy.
In "Temptation," Jughead convinces Archie that ditching a date with Veronica to go fishing is no big deal—after all, it’s just a quick fix. But when Veronica doesn’t react the way they expected, Archie spirals into a whirlwind of jealous overthinking, leaving him scrambling to untangle his own mess.
In "Misses 'n' Missiles," The Brain—former foe of Jughead and now a self-proclaimed mastermind—challenges a friend to a bet: she’ll use nothing but her wits to convince Jughead to let her drive Archie’s beat-up jalopy. With a mix of logic, charm, and a dash of mischief, she sets out to prove that brains can outdrive brawn, all while navigating the chaos of a car trip that promises more than just a ride.
In "Proof Positive," Jughead finds himself caught in a prank when Betty and Veronica tease him about his supposed lack of interest in girls—so he reluctantly lets them catch him handing flowers to Midge, hoping to prove a point he never really meant to make.
