Jughead's Double Digest #17

In "Secret Pals," Betty spins a playful lie about her dance plans, claiming she’s going with the mysterious "Ring-a-Ding" Riley—though she’s not actually going with anyone. The boys, determined to keep up the ruse, quietly conspire to make sure Riley actually asks her to the dance.

In "The Great Food Race," Archie and Jughead stay late at school to finish a science project, only to find themselves in a sudden power outage. With the lights out and the cafeteria in chaos, Jughead’s immediate priority isn’t the project—it’s the food lockers.

In "Gracious Greeter," Jughead takes on the role of host for Betty’s visiting uncle, determined to make him feel welcome—only to accidentally treat a homeless man like royalty, mistaking him for the guest. The mix-up leads to a series of awkward and heartfelt moments as Jughead’s generosity takes an unexpected turn.

In "Conscience Stricken," Jughead’s conscience takes a literal form—a tiny, floating version of himself—and the duo stumbles into a quirky situation when they meet a girl whose conscience urges her to kiss Jughead. Things get unexpectedly complicated when the girl’s conscience develops a crush on Jughead’s conscience, leading to a surreal, lighthearted tangle of thoughts and feelings.
