Jughead #206

Jughead Jones is at his most charmingly oblivious in this July 1972 issue, standing at a watch and clock shop counter with a bemused shopkeeper holding out an alarm clock and asking what's wrong with it — Jughead's deadpan reply says it all: "It keeps going off while I'm asleep!" Archie looks on with an amused grin while a blonde companion stands nearby, and a small running gag plays out across the top of the cover with a breathless figure dashing past two onlooking girls. Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick deliver a warm, funny cover scene that perfectly captures Jughead's unique relationship with sleep, logic, and the rest of the world.
