In "Jingles' New Job," Jughead's thoughtful gift for Hot Dog takes an unexpected turn when Veronica spots a striking resemblance between the dog's sweater and her own new, high-end one.

Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale features a standout cover by Bill Golliher and Jim Amash.
