Jughead #258

Jughead #258 from 1976 captures everything lovable about Riverdale's most dedicated napper — there's Jug himself, blissfully stretched out in a hammock with his dog Hot Dog curled up below, completely unbothered while a friend pushes a lawn mower just inches away. Archie and a blonde companion peer over the fence, horoscope in hand, delivering the perfectly timed punchline splashed across the cover in bold speech bubbles. Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick deliver a warm, sunny backyard scene that makes this cheerful 30-cent issue a fun snapshot of Archie Comics at their most charming.
