In "Town Talk by Walt Willard," Archie, Betty, and Jughead set out to find a dog for the school's production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," leading to a chaotic mix-up at the dog catcher's lot. Bob Montana's signature art brings the classic trio's misadventures to life in this 1941 Jackpot Comics issue, where a stray dog's surprise dash into the audience sends the show—and the Mayor—into full-blown chaos.
