Jughead #223

In "Dig We Must," Jughead’s latest scheme to convince Mr. Weatherbee that there’s treasure buried on school grounds lands him in hot water—again. With the principal recalling every fake map and wild tale from the past, Jughead must think fast to convince him this time is different.

In "A Tooth for a Tooth," Jughead gives Reggie a surprisingly bold piece of advice: to settle things with Moose by facing him head-on. Taking the suggestion literally, Reggie musters the nerve to confront Moose about his persistent teasing—especially when it comes to Midge—on the spot.

In "Sleepy Time Guys," Jughead and Archie lament the dull state of Riverdale—complete with fires, robberies, and escaped wild animals—while blissfully ignoring the chaos around them, proving that even in the midst of mayhem, their biggest concern remains finding a good meal and a quiet nap.

In this classic 1973 tale from *Jughead* #223, Jughead’s loyal dog Hot Dog shadows him to school with unwavering devotion—much to the confusion of teachers who chalk it up to canine loyalty. But Archie, ever skeptical, wonders if there’s more to the dog’s behavior than meets the eye, especially since Hot Dog seems oddly determined to stay close to his owner’s side.
