Archie's Pal Jughead Annual #1

In "Mask Me No Questions," Jughead hatches a prank so classic it’s practically a tradition: he convinces Reggie to dress as him for a costume party, then calls Moose to enforce the dress code. With a smirk, Jughead promises to show up uncostumed—and dares Moose to throw him out. When Moose sees Reggie in the disguise, the joke turns physical, and the chaos unfolds in true Archie-style humor.

In "To Bear or Not to Bear," Jughead’s friends Archie and Reggie convince him to dress as a bear for a picnic prank on Betty and Veronica—only to panic when a real bear shows up and knocks out Reggie. With the girls watching, Jughead’s lack of a costume becomes the least of their worries as the gang flees in a frantic scramble.

In "It's Hop to You," Jughead’s bold claim to hypnotize Mr. Weatherbee into thinking he’s a kangaroo leads to a hilariously deadpan showdown in the classroom—where the principal’s slow, deliberate exit leaves the entire gang wondering if the prank was ever real at all.

In "Fresh Heir," Jughead’s sudden inheritance from an uncle sparks a scheme from Reggie, who showers him with malteds and cash, hoping to curry favor. When the truth comes out—his uncle is very much alive—Reggie tries to recover his money by selling a cow to Jughead, only to face the consequences when the bovine remains more popular than expected.

In "Mind Over Manner," Jughead takes it upon himself to teach Souphead the art of chivalry, starting with a series of well-intentioned but wildly misguided gestures—helping a woman cross the street (despite her waiting for a bus) and chasing a flying hat (only to flatten it). When Souphead later shows off by assisting an elderly lady across the street, Jughead beams with pride—until Souphead reveals the lady was his teacher, making the act more about "politics" than kindness.

In "An Old Spinnish Custom!" from Archie's Pal Jughead Annual #1 (1953), Jughead shows off his diabolo skills to Archie, who tries and accidentally sends the yo-yo flying through a hedge—right into Veronica. When Archie tries to pin the blame on Jughead, the truth slips out as the two walk away, leaving Jughead sheepishly asking for his sticks back. With Veronica storming off, Archie ends up taking up the diabolo from a tree limb, much to Jughead’s amusement.

In "Take It or Weave It," Jughead’s knack for basket weaving earns him unexpected admiration from Betty and Veronica—until Reggie and Archie seize the chance to prank him. They orchestrate a phone call pretending to be a customer, tricking Jughead into delivering thirty baskets to a mysterious address, where the woman not only accepts the order but asks for more for her husband’s offices.

In "A Friend in Need," Archie’s plans to take Veronica to a football game fall through when she’s busy, leaving Jughead eager to go—until Archie asks Betty instead, only to be turned down. When Betty explains her "no" is part of a sorority initiation, Jughead offers to help uncover the reason in exchange for the extra ticket. With Archie now stuck honoring his promise, he finally gets his revenge by tying up Jughead and dragging him to the game in a bag.

In "It's for Reel," Mr. Weatherbee treats Archie and Jughead to a screening of nature films, only to drift off during a nap in a nearby storeroom. Left alone with the projector, the boys set up a makeshift screen and continue watching—until a sudden scare on the film sends Mr. Weatherbee fleeing through the wall in panic.

In "Nothing But the Latest," Jughead’s uncle Bibbo leaves him in charge of a house packed with the latest gadgets, prompting Jughead to toss out his old books—especially a prized antique edition of *Canterbury Tales*—in favor of shiny new ones. When Bibbo returns and sees what happened, he’s furious, hurling the discarded book in disbelief and quipping that Jughead’s the first person ever hit by a "flying Chaucer."

In "Hearts and Spades," Betty and Veronica head off to summer camp, leaving Archie and Reggie behind—until Jughead convinces them to join by turning an empty lot into a makeshift farm. When machines destroy their crops the next day, the boys pivot with a wildly absurd plan: charging kids to hurl vegetables at Jughead’s face.

In "Soup to Nuts," Archie and Jughead lend a hand building booths for the school bazaar, each hoping for a sweet reward—Archie dreams of Veronica’s favor, while Jughead’s heart is set on Betty’s cooking. But when the truth behind their respective booths comes to light, their plans take a turn neither expected.

In "Tricky Business," Jughead is torn between attending Veronica’s cousin Bruce’s magic show and cashing in on his raffle ticket, #23—only to find himself unexpectedly stuck watching Elliot perform tricks instead. When Veronica and Bruce return, claiming the raffle winner was missing but Elliot’s ticket was drawn next, Jughead’s night takes a delightfully puzzling turn.

In "On the Surface," Jughead amuses himself and the gang by pretending to walk on water using stilts, fooling Reggie into thinking it's the shoes that do the trick. When Reggie bets Archie he can do the same, he learns the hard way that the real magic is in the stilts—not the footwear.

In "The Mower the Merrier," Jughead’s latest attempt to avoid mowing the lawn backfires spectacularly when he rigs a push mower with an old motor, sending it careening through Mr. Weatherbee’s yard and into his house. The chaos leaves the principal furious—and Jughead’s hat, perched on his head, the unfortunate victim of his own invention.

In this classic 1953 humor tale from *Archie's Pal Jughead Annual #1*, Souphead’s oversized box kite takes off with him in the wind, sending Jughead into a panic—only to be relieved when Souphead returns unharmed. Overjoyed, Jughead promises to grant Souphead’s every wish, and when Souphead asks for the biggest kite in Riverdale, Jughead delivers… with a surprising twist.
