Jughead #230
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Prophet and Loss," Jughead faces a rare dilemma: he's decided to let Ethel catch him in this year’s "girls catch boys" race—possibly influenced by the sheer weight of five hundred pounds of hamburger she once won. With Samm Schwartz handling art, inks, and lettering, and George Gladir scripting the antics, this 1974 classic captures a moment of unexpected strategy from the ever-hungry teen. Dan DeCarlo’s cover art, inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the race’s stakes.
In "Race Chase," Jughead casually agrees to let Ethel catch him in this year’s "girls catch boys" race—partly because he’s got a sweet tooth and partly because the prize of five hundred pounds of hamburger is just too tempting to resist. With his usual mix of laziness and logic, Jughead’s decision sets off a lighthearted chase that’s as much about the joke as it is about the run.
