Jughead #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Proverbose," Jughead finds himself tangled in a bizarre twist when his attempt to order a flea collar for Hot Dog backfires—now the dog’s name is plastered across a flood of junk mail. Things get even stranger when Jughead enters a "Most-Interesting Bachelor" contest using Hot Dog’s profile and unexpectedly wins, setting off a chain of absurd events. Written by Hal Smith and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue features a cover by Rex Lindsey.
In "Holiday for Drums!" from Jughead #12 (1989), Jughead strikes up a friendship with a female drummer, and when she injures her wrist during a practice with The Archies, he unexpectedly steps in to cover her gig. The story follows Jughead as he navigates the unexpected challenge of playing drums in a band he’s not part of—just in time for a performance he never saw coming.
In "The Sting!" from Jughead #12 (1989), Jughead’s dramatic rehearsal for a school play about a dam bursting accidentally triggers real chaos—only this time, no one believes him when he cries out about a hive of bees loose in the school. The story captures his escalating frustration with perfectly timed, deadpan humor, as his over-the-top performance backfires in the most painfully believable way.
When Jughead accidentally uses "Mr. Hot Dog Jones" as his name while ordering a flea collar, he’s flooded with junk mail—until one form for a "Most-Interesting Bachelor" contest catches his eye. Filled with a mix of pride and absurdity, he enters using Hot Dog’s profile, unaware of the strange turn his mailroom adventure is about to take.
