Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Samm Schwartz, this 1974 classic blends classic Archie humor with a perfectly timed prank that turns the school into a canine hotspot. Cover by Samm Schwartz.
In "Round Trip," Jughead is sent by Archie to check if Veronica has stood him up—only to turn back each time, convinced Archie should be the one facing the awkwardness. With a mix of reluctant logic and classic teen hesitation, Jughead makes the trip three times, each round trip a quiet comedy of nerves and principle.
In this 1974 humor tale from *Jughead with Archie Plus Betty & Veronica & Reggie, Too #1*, Betty and Veronica convince Archie he’s got the wild side of a tiger—leading to a series of exaggerated antics that have Midge spooked. When she sees Archie prowling near the girls, she panics and begs Big Moose to stay away, fearing he might pounce.
In a playful twist of teenage mischief, Veronica tries to clear a path to Archie by "giving" Reggie to Betty—only for Betty and Reggie to return the favor by "giving" Moose to Veronica.
When Reggie tricks Jughead into hiding a rabbit in his desk, Principal Weatherbee punishes him by making him the school’s game warden—with a whistle to enforce the no-pets rule. Jughead, ever the prankster, swaps the whistle for an ultrasonic one, setting off a chaotic dog invasion the moment Reggie blows it.
In "Backfire!", Jughead dives into a library book of famous love letters, sparking a mischievous plan from Archie: for ten days, Jughead will write anonymous notes to Veronica, with Archie claiming credit for the romance at the end. What starts as a lighthearted prank quickly spins into something neither of them expected—though just how it all unfolds remains deliciously unclear.
In "Use Your Head!", Reggie and Archie snag a pair of Bean Bouncers—bouncy balloons on elastic bands meant to go around your head—and immediately start scheming up pranks. With their usual mix of mischief and teenage logic, the duo puts their heads to work (literally) in a classic slice of 1974 humor.
In "Runner Up," Veronica's sharp remark about Betty accidentally sparks a misunderstanding that sends Archie on a whirlwind chase. As he tries to clear the air, Betty plays coy—leading Archie on a comedic pursuit that ends with a surprise tackle.
In "A New Twist," Archie dives into yoga with enthusiastic overconfidence, only to get tangled in a pose he can’t escape. When he tries to impress Midge with the same move, he loses his balance—she catches him, Moose stumbles into the scene, and suddenly the three are caught in a chaotic human knot.
In "Monkey Shines," Reggie's prank takes a turn when he starts spreading the rumor that Jughead is seeing things—specifically, an imaginary pet monkey that only a little girl claims to have seen. As the gossip spreads through Riverdale, Jughead finds himself caught between defending his friend’s imagination and trying to prove he’s not losing his mind.
In "By Book or by Crook," Archie’s eagerness to carry Veronica’s books leads Jughead to suggest Betty take on a heavy load—just to see if Archie will step in and help her. The plan backfires, leaving the usual dynamic of crushes and teasing intact, with no clear winner in sight.
In "Belt Belle," Betty puts her jiu-jitsu skills to playful use to get Jughead to take her to the dance, but a sudden breakdown forces Jughead to jury-rig Archie’s jalopy with his belt—leaving him with less than ideal mobility when it comes to the dance floor.
