Jughead #266

In "Stunted Scheme," Jughead faces a surprisingly sticky situation when his Spanish teacher assigns his daughter to tutor him—just to keep his grades from tanking. With Betty and Veronica quick to jump to conclusions about the tutoring sessions, the usual rivalry takes a playful turn as the whole school starts whispering about a new romance. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Samm Schwartz’s sharp, expressive art and Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors, this 1977 classic captures the sweet chaos of high school with a wink and a grin. The cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and Jon D’Agostino perfectly captures the moment’s awkward charm.
