Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #96

A sunny beach setting sets the scene perfectly for this September 1997 issue, where Jughead — crown firmly in place, wearing his "POW!" tank top — triumphantly clutches a note while a bemused Archie and a laughing blonde in a bikini look on near a hot dog stand. The cover gag says it all: asked if he got her phone number, Jughead proudly declares it's actually the number of her hot dog supplier. Rex W. Lindsey's cover art captures Jughead's food-obsessed priorities with warm, breezy charm that makes this one hard to resist.
