Jughead with Archie Digest #179

Pop's Chocklit Shoppe is the setting for some classic Riverdale hunger humor on this digest cover, where a wide-eyed Archie leans across the counter while Jughead — crown and all — stands grinning behind him, and a patient Pop Tate holds up a hand with a burger and fries already on the plate. Jughead's speech bubble says it all: "Could you at least wait until I'm served before asking if I'm going to finish it?" — a perfectly timed gag that captures everything fans love about this duo. Cover pencils by Stan Goldberg and inks by Bob Smith give the scene that warm, expressive Archie style that made 2003 a great year to be a digest reader.
