In "Leave Me Alone," Jughead #187 (1970) delivers a classic Archie-style twist on a familiar tale, with Betty en route to her grandmother’s house carrying a basket of treats. Reggie, ever the schemer, tricks Granny Cooper out of the house with a clever ruse, setting his sights on Betty—only to be interrupted by Jughead, whose true intentions remain delightfully unclear. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated with signature flair by Samm Schwartz, the story’s charm lies in its playful tension and the cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the moment perfectly.
