Jughead's Double Digest #88
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Time Tested Fun," Jughead gets caught in a prank that spirals when Archie and Reggie convince him Sophie's father runs a bakery—leading Jughead to shower her with extravagant treats. But the joke takes an unexpected turn when it's revealed Sophie's father actually owns something even better, leaving Jughead both confused and hungry. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by Samm Schwartz on art, inks, and letters, this Double Digest tale captures the timeless charm of Riverdale’s mischievous antics, all wrapped in a cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith.
In "Self Employed," Jughead takes on the surprisingly heroic task of cleaning up every piece of litter he sees, turning his usual love of food and relaxation into a one-teen crusade against trash—much to Archie’s skeptical amusement. With a mix of determination and classic Jughead charm, he proves that even the smallest efforts can make a difference, one crumpled wrapper at a time.
Archie reluctantly enrolls in Gym 149 after Reggie’s suggestion, only to discover it’s a co-ed dance class with a public performance looming—leaving him nervous, uncoordinated, and suddenly very aware of how much everyone’s watching.
When Archie and Reggie trick Jughead into believing Sophie’s father runs a bakery—leading him to shower her with exaggerated attention—the prank takes an unexpected turn when it’s revealed Sophie’s dad actually owns something far more impressive than a bakery. The twist sends Jughead scrambling to rethink his whole approach, while Archie and Reggie brace for the fallout.
