Jughead #266

Jughead hatches a wild plan to win a Bonsai tree from Moose, claiming it’s cursed with a terrifying contagion—just to get his hands on it for Miss Grundy. With a mix of clever lies and exaggerated dread, he tries to convince Moose the tiny tree is anything but harmless.

In "The Latin Flavor," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly paired with his Spanish teacher’s daughter for tutoring—just as Betty and Veronica spot them together and jump to conclusions. The moment sparks a flurry of playful misunderstandings, all set against the familiar backdrop of Riverdale’s high school chaos.

In "Chew Chew Baby," Veronica sets a trap for Jughead, spinning a tale about a gum company donating basketballs to orphans if enough wrappers are collected. Obsessed with proving her wrong—and fueled by his love of food and fairness—Jughead goes all in, collecting wrappers with relentless zeal. His effort catches the eye of the real Chewy-Dewy company, who seize the moment for publicity, turning the prank into a genuine campaign. The result? A surprise twist that leaves Jughead celebrated and Veronica stunned.
