Jughead #161
In "The Frame," Jughead #161 (1968) delivers a classic slice of Archie Comics charm with a moment of near-mishap and a wink to the reader. Archie’s distracted by Veronica on the curb, leading to a comical bike crash that lands him on a car hood—only to discover both he and the driver rely on Bendix brakes. With art by Harry Lucey and a cover by Dan DeCarlo, the issue blends slapstick and subtle humor, ending with Veronica offering a quiet, knowing safety tip to the audience.
In "The Frame," Jughead dreams of entering the outdoor art show, but his budget won’t stretch to frames. With a mischievous grin, he decides to paint his masterpiece—complete with a frame—right onto Mr. Lodge’s office wall.
