Jughead #282
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Hop It," Jughead finds himself playing the Prince in the school play The Princess and the Frog, but when the cast’s Princess falls ill, Betty’s playful suggestion that Veronica step in sends the usual schoolyard dynamics into a whirlwind of teasing and unexpected tension. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Samm Schwartz’s expressive art and Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors, this 1978 slice of Archie nostalgia captures the charm and chaos of high school theater with a side of classic rivalry. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly captures the lighthearted drama of the moment.
In "Hop It," Jughead finds himself playing the Prince in the school play *The Princess and the Frog*, a role that’s more than a little out of his comfort zone. When the girl cast as the Princess falls ill, Betty’s playful suggestion that Veronica step in sends a ripple through the cast—and possibly the entire production.
In "Pass It On," Archie hands Jughead a note for Veronica about meeting after school, but Reggie steals it and passes it to Moose with the plan to ruin the rendezvous. As the note travels through a chain of misdelivered messages, chaos unfolds—each step further from the original intent.
In "The Jolly Woodsman," Archie teams up with Jughead for a weekend camping trip, but Veronica isn’t about to let her rival steal him away for so long—so she plots a series of clever (and hilariously petty) sabotage schemes to ruin the outing. With Archie’s enthusiasm and Jughead’s laid-back charm on full display, the real challenge might just be surviving Veronica’s quiet campaign of mischief.
