“The Breaking Point”

The Riverdale Charity Bazaar is in full swing on this cheerful November 1973 cover, with Jughead manning a fresh donut booth alongside Betty and Veronica — and his classic quip about the donuts having "no holes" suggests he's already been sampling the merchandise. Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick bring warm small-town energy to the scene, complete with a crowd of Riverdale regulars and a tiny chaos unfolding in the corner above. At just 20 cents, this is a delightful slice of Archie Comics humor at its most easygoing.
