Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #183
In "The Magic Touch," Jughead and Betty team up to cook a dinner for the Booster Club, but a series of unfortunate spills—first Betty with a casserole, then Jughead with beans—leads to a chaotic mix-up. When Betty returns and overhears Archie and Reggie miming slips, she misinterprets their antics and retaliates with a splash of coleslaw. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski and colors by Barry Grossman, this lighthearted moment captures the humor and heart of the classic Archie cast. The cover, by Rex W. Lindsey, perfectly frames the scene’s comedic tension.
