Jughead's Double Digest #179
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Picture Perfect," a heartfelt misunderstanding sparks a moment of comic honesty when Archie, frustrated after a fight with Veronica, pens a scathing letter to her—only to have Jughead step in with a more thoughtful rewrite. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski and colors by Barry Grossman, this Double Digest tale captures the messy, earnest heart of teenage friendship and second chances. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Rich Koslowski perfectly frames the moment’s quiet tension.
Jo and her crew show up at Pop's to capture the perfect burger for a Sunday ad, but when the food stylist’s standards prove impossibly high, even the juiciest patty starts to look like a challenge. With Pop’s patience wearing thin and the camera rolling, one bite could make or break the shot.
In "Mr. Trend Setter!", Jughead finds himself back in the school cafeteria—thanks to a surprisingly persuasive Mr. Weatherbee—after a lifetime ban from his favorite local buffet. With the principal framing it as a bold new lifestyle choice, Jughead’s return to the lunchroom kicks off a chain of increasingly absurd food-related schemes.
In "War of the Words," Jughead finds himself caught in a culinary clash when a flashy new pizza-maker steals Pop Tate’s customers. After a humbling trip to the rival shop, Jughead is forced to confront the truth when Pop offers his own pie—and the rival chef publicly insults it, only to be stunned when Jughead reveals the pizza was his own creation all along.
In "Kitchen Kapers," Jughead's legendary palate gets put to the ultimate test when Principal Weatherbee enlists him to sample the school cafeteria's mystery meals. After Jughead declares the food a success, Weatherbee is baffled—why, then, does no one actually eat in the cafeteria?
In "Writing Wrongs," Archie vents his frustration to Veronica by penning a scathing letter—only to hand it over to Jughead, who has a habit of fixing things his own way. With a smirk and a pen, Jughead rewrites the note, turning Archie’s anger into something far more… awkward.
