Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #145

A sunny beach day sets the scene for this 2002 issue, with Jughead sprawled out on a towel next to a dark-haired girl in a swimsuit, looking thoroughly unbothered while she poses the burning question: "How do you jump start a DATE?" Behind them, a shirtless Archie works on a red convertible with a blonde girl watching, while other beachgoers play in the background. Rex W. Lindsey's cover captures the classic Riverdale gang dynamic perfectly — Jughead's legendary indifference to romance on full, sunny display.
