“Bottle Baby”

This 1969 Archie Series gem captures Jughead at his most philosophical — sprawled lazily under a tree beside a friend, he delivers his classic retort to a golfer asking if he wants to make a "quick buck": he'd rather make a slow one. Dan DeCarlo's cover art brings the gag to life with effortless charm, balancing the "Caddies Wanted" sign and a frustrated golfer hauling his bag against Jughead's gloriously unbothered attitude. Up top, a mini-scene adds even more fun with a girl walking her dog and Jughead apparently owing someone an apology — all packed into one cheerful 15-cent package.
