Jughead's Double Digest #77

Outside Pop's Chocklit Shoppe, Ethel has just given Jughead a watch, and her cheerful punchline — that he'll "finally have to give her the time of day" — sets the playful tone for this 2001 digest perfectly. Archie and a blonde friend look on with amusement in the background, a milkshake and gift box rounding out the scene. Rex W. Lindsey's cover pencils and inks capture the warm, good-natured humor that makes Jughead's Double Digest such a dependable treat.
