Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #131

A beach-day surprise takes center stage on this October 2000 issue, as Jughead — crown-topped hat and all — finds himself swept up in a romantically bewildering moment, planting a kiss on Ethel while floating hearts and a speech bubble reveal the culprit: peanut-butter-flavored lipstick. Betty and Veronica look on with amusement from the sand behind them, making the whole scene as fun and lively as you'd hope from Rex W. Lindsey's expressive cover art. With Craig Boldman's story "Flip Flop" waiting inside, this issue promises the kind of warm, comedic Riverdale charm that made this series a perennial favorite.
