Jughead's Jokes #57
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Load Episode," Jughead faces off against Archie in a test of endurance—just hanging from a tree limb—but the real challenge begins when Big Ethel shows up. With Samm Schwartz handling both art and inks, this 1978 classic captures the absurd charm of the duo’s rivalry, stretching from afternoon to dusk in a moment that’s equal parts silly and surprisingly intense.
In "Tree Spree," Archie dares Jughead to a test of endurance: see who can cling to a tree limb the longest. Jughead’s not impressed—until Big Ethel shows up, turning the silly challenge into something far more enduring.
In "Paint Patter," Jughead defends his whimsical take on classical art to a skeptical Veronica, insisting that if people in old paintings had enjoyed pizza, they’d have been smiling too. The story’s brief, playful riff on art history and teenage logic is a delightfully silly moment in Jughead's Jokes #57.
