Jughead with Archie Digest #184

A lazy day of fishing turns into a battle with nature's tiniest tormentors on this cheerful cover to Jughead with Archie Digest #184 (2003), with cover art by Rex Lindsey. Archie sits on a dock clutching a fishing rod, reacting to a mosquito bite with a resounding "SLAP!" while a grinning friend in a yellow "S" shirt looks on from shore, asking "Are they bitin'?" — to which Archie's pained expression provides the real answer. It's a perfectly relatable slice of summer misery that sets a warm, humorous tone for the stories packed inside this digest.
