Jughead & Friends Digest Magazine #23

In "The Real World?", Jughead's trademark goofiness draws crowds to Pop Tate's, but when Cornthwaite starts outdoing him at Segarini's to impress Jillian, the diner's regulars start drifting away. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2007 digest tale explores the line between performance and authenticity—while keeping the charm and humor that define Riverdale’s most laid-back resident. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith captures the moment with a playful, expressive flair.
