Jughead's Double Digest #97

Jughead Jones is in his element on the cover of this 2003 digest, cheerfully announcing to a skeptical-looking adult — likely Principal Weatherbee — that two "Sweet Cakes" delivery workers pushing carts loaded with donuts and baked goods are there to restock his school locker for the new year. Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith bring the gag to life with crisp, expressive linework that captures Jughead's signature shameless enthusiasm perfectly. Packed with reprints and a full roster of Riverdale fun, this digest is a great snapshot of Archie's digest era at its most charming.
