Jughead with Archie Digest #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Friend in Need (Is a Pest)," Archie and Veronica attempt to study with a little too much energy—music, snacks, and chatter are all part of the routine. When Mr. Lodge steps in to show them how homework should be done in silence, the teens seize the moment to quietly enjoy some unexpected alone time. Written and illustrated by Al Hartley, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1982 Jughead with Archie Digest issue captures a classic moment of teenage mischief. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos.
In "Study Fuddy-Duddy," Archie and Veronica attempt to study with the help of snacks, music, and constant chatter—until Mr. Lodge steps in to show them how homework should be done in silence. With him focused and oblivious, the two seize the chance to share a rare moment of quiet connection.
When the Superintendent pays a surprise visit, Mr. Weatherbee cracks down on school decor—ordering Archie and Jughead to erase every smiling face sticker they’ve plastered around the halls. With time running out and their prank in full view, the duo scrambles to clean up their mess before the principal catches them.
In "Heroes Are Made," Archie spins wild tales to impress Veronica, turning his everyday life into heroic exploits. When a local TV station airs his exaggerated stories, he’s forced to flee town—only to find that fame, even if earned through lies, has a way of catching up.
In "Lunch Break Part 2," Archie finds himself tangled in another of Reggie's mischievous schemes, this time landing him in hot water at school. When one prank goes hilariously awry, Reggie ends up punching Betty—mistaking her for Archie—leaving both teens stunned and the situation even more chaotic.
In "Count Down Part 4," Archie attempts a hilariously over-the-top revenge on Reggie by crafting a voodoo curse complete with a bubbling cauldron and a cursed doll—only for Reggie to fire back with a prank so elaborate it blurs the line between joke and horror. The escalating antics between the two rivals take a delightfully absurd turn as their prank war spirals into something neither fully expects.
