Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #172
In "A Date with Jughead!", Archie stumbles into a quirky scheme when Snapsy Soda Co. offers free drinks for photos they like—leading to a goofy portrait with one of Veronica's sweaters that Archie now desperately wants to keep hidden. With a mix of awkward charm and classic Riverdale mischief, this 2006 issue captures the humor and heart of the series, written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli. The cover, also by Rex Lindsey and Rich Koslowski, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
