In "Sock It To Who?.. (Whom?)" from Josie #36 (1968), the flamboyant musician Clyde Didit—aka "Orbit," complete with sunglasses and a wardrobe that defies fashion—sets his sights on Josie, much to Pepper’s dismay and Josie’s mixed feelings. As Clyde’s signature tune "Sock It To Me" echoes through the story, every attempt at romance ends with someone literally socking him—hard. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s inks, the cover by DeCarlo and Lapick captures the chaos perfectly.

In "Sock It To Who?.. (Whom?)", Josie faces off against Clyde Didit—aka "Orbit," the flamboyant musician with questionable style and a hit song that always backfires. Every time he belts out his signature tune, someone inevitably socks him in the face, much to Josie’s amusement and Pepper’s quiet satisfaction.

In "Bottoms Up," Jo and her friends find themselves in a whirlwind of chaos when Alex's brother gets a well-earned kick, Melody delivers a cryptic note meant to be unforgettable, and a stolen hearse sets off a wild taxi chase with Josie and Alex hot on its trail. Archie and Jughead make a brief cameo, unimpressed by Clyde Didit's off-key singing.

In "Endsville," Melody’s world spirals into apocalyptic panic after spotting a preacher’s sign warning of the end times, while Pepper grapples with Sock’s stubbornly casual attitude—her feelings for him, it seems, still unacknowledged. The story unfolds with the kind of quirky, heartfelt humor that defines Josie’s world, where teenage worries and absurd fears collide in perfectly mundane ways.
