Jughead #276

This May 1978 issue of Jughead delivers a wintry double-panel cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Rudy Lapick — that captures Jughead's signature talent for backhanded compliments. In the top scene, Jughead gleefully shouts "Ethel, you are the pits!" at a bundled-up Ethel amid a snowy backdrop, while the bottom panel shows Ethel cheerfully spinning his words to a group of friends, announcing that "Jughead just compared me to a part of a peach!" The split-scene setup perfectly showcases the warm, laugh-out-loud humor that made the Archie Series such a reliable treat for readers of all ages.
