Jughead #159
In "Call Me Jughead," Jughead's well-intentioned meddling leads Archie into a heartfelt letter he never meant to send—only to find out too late that Veronica had already stood him up. With a clever twist and a stampless envelope, the trio finds a way to smooth things over before the message ever reaches its destination. Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Bill Vigoda, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1968 gem features a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
In "Thin Is In," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly cast as a fashion model—only because the photographer insists on a "weedy" look. As he earns money from the gig, he treats himself to his favorite burgers, but soon his figure grows too round for the job.
In "Persuasion," Reggie tries to prove he’s not afraid of Jughead by confronting Moose, only to discover too late that Jughead’s warning about a contagious disease was the real reason Moose fled. The story unfolds with classic Archie humor, turning a simple misunderstanding into a hilarious lesson in bravado and bad timing.
In "Turnabout," Jughead’s well-meaning advice leads Archie to write a breakup letter to Veronica—only for them to reconcile just in time. When the mailman delivers the unstamped note, the trio’s quick thinking saves the day, all in classic Archie Comics style.
