Jughead with Archie Digest #152

Right on the cusp of Y2K anxiety, this 1999 digest captures the Riverdale gang at their most relatable — Pop Tate looks worried behind the counter as Archie and Jughead crack wise about whether next year's computer problems will affect his systems, with Jughead cheerfully holding up a BLT and joking that it'd be a shame if he couldn't sell sandwiches in Y2K. The cover art by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino perfectly frames the warmth and easy humor of Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, cash register and all. Packed with reprints, this digest is a charming time capsule of Archie humor at the turn of the millennium.
