Jughead #211

Jughead #211 from December 1972 delivers a thoroughly charming two-panel cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, capturing Jughead and Archie caught in the chaos of a freshly bathed, very wet dog making a break for freedom — much to the horror of a frantic woman nearby — while the bottom panel finds our hero at a dry cleaner's counter cheekily asking "How much to dry clean a person?" Samm Schwartz handles the interior art and writing duties alongside Frank Doyle's script for "I Gotta Be Me," promising the kind of lighthearted, situational humor Archie fans have always loved. At just 20 cents, this is a delightfully silly slice of early-'70s Riverdale life.
