Jughead #221
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Water Boy," Jughead faces his biggest challenge yet: diving into Veronica's pool—on purpose. Despite his usual habit of tumbling in fully clothed, the thought of doing it intentionally proves harder than he expected. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by artist Harry Lucey, inks by Chic Stone, and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1973 classic captures Jughead’s signature awkward humor. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment’s tension with a 20-cent price tag and a timeless Archie Comics flair.
In "Water Boy," Jughead’s ongoing misadventures take a splashy turn as he finds himself perpetually plunging into Veronica’s pool—fully clothed and utterly unprepared. This time, though, he’s determined to dive in on purpose, but something’s stopping him from making the leap.
In "Laugh It Up," Jughead and the gang launch a silly experiment to see what happens when they laugh for no reason—just to watch others react, wondering who’s really the joke. Written with classic Archie humor, the story captures their usual chaos, all in good fun.
