Jughead #185

In "Merry Go Round," Jughead faces a new kind of hunger—this time not for food, but for a way out of a sticky situation. When Pop raises hamburger prices, Jughead refuses to pay, only to find himself in a bizarre trade with Big Ethel, where the cost of a burger comes with a price he’s even less eager to pay. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1970 classic captures Jughead’s trademark stubbornness and comedic misadventures in a single, memorable ride. The cover by Bob White perfectly captures the lighthearted, slightly absurd tone of the story.
