Jughead #319

Jughead's deadpan wit is on full display in this 1981 issue, where Dan DeCarlo's cover finds Archie cheerfully spinning a basketball on his finger and declaring that practice makes everything easier — only for a yawning Jughead, books in hand and barely out the front door, to exempt one very particular morning routine from that rule. The small vignette at the top of the cover hints at more comedic chaos involving the gang, setting a perfectly light tone for the issue within. With interior art and story by Samm Schwartz and Kerry King respectively, Jughead #319 delivers the kind of easygoing suburban humor that made this series a staple of early-80s all-ages comics.
