Jughead with Archie Digest #48
In "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.
