Jughead #9
In "The Forest Prime Evil," Jughead's art project takes a deliciously surreal turn when his edible self, "Grubhead," wins first prize at Riverdale High’s final project showcase—beating out Dilton’s baffling algorithm. After spotting a mysterious new Pop’s mascot in a hamburger suit, Jughead finds himself caught in a whirlwind of fantasies and awkward crushes, leading to a surprisingly heartfelt date with the lady inside the costume, who reveals her name is Sabrina. Written by Ryan North and brought to life with vivid charm by Derek Charm (art and cover), this quirky, offbeat story captures the absurdity and sincerity of teenage feelings with a side of hot dog.
In "null," Jughead’s art project—a life-sized, edible replica of himself called Grubhead—wins top honors at Riverdale High’s final exhibition, leaving Dilton’s abstract algorithm in the dust. When a mysterious new mascot in a hamburger suit appears at Pop’s, Jughead finds himself drawn to her, spiraling into a mix of daydreams and nervous energy as he tries to figure out if his feelings are real—or just a side effect of too many fries. As the line between fantasy and reality blurs, he tentatively asks her out, setting off a whirlwind of advice, jokes, and awkwardness from the gang. The lady in the suit, it turns out, is Sabrina.
