Jughead #274

Jughead's winter ingenuity is on full display in this March 1978 entry from the Archie Series, as the cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli — shows a bundled-up Jughead gleefully snowshoeing through a snowy ski-resort scene, having apparently repurposed a pair of tennis rackets as makeshift snowshoes. Archie and Veronica watch from a cozy lodge doorway, puzzling over the caption "That's odd! I wonder why Jughead borrowed two of my tennis rackets?" — a perfectly absurd setup that captures the character's lovable, offbeat resourcefulness. It's warm, funny, and exactly the kind of lighthearted winter charm that made this series a perennial favorite in 1978.
