Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #144

In "Odd Man Out," Jughead’s antics at Pop Tate’s are the main draw—until Cornthwaite starts outdoing him at Segarini’s, stealing the crowd with his exaggerated goofiness. Jughead quickly realizes Cornthwaite’s antics aren’t just for laughs—they’re a clumsy attempt to win Jillian’s attention. With a mix of wit and charm, Jughead sets things right, bringing the two together in a moment that quietly changes the balance of the town’s favorite hangout.

Jughead’s latest scheme hinges on a simple request: a loan from Archie. When that’s a no, he circles back through the gang—each friend politely (or not-so-politely) turning him down. With his usual grin intact, Jughead delivers a cheerful, unbothered update to Archie, making it clear the next round is his turn.

In "Odor of the Day!", Jughead’s latest culinary experiment—buried to ferment for three days—draws Reggie’s curiosity, leading him to dig up the crock with wildly unexpected consequences. The story unfolds with classic Archie humor, turning a simple prank into a nose-tickling catastrophe.
