“Watch Your Step”

In "Watch Your Step," Archie tries to prove that the shortest path to school isn’t the usual route—Jughead, ever the practical joker, insists on a straight-line shortcut, no matter the obstacles. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Terry Szenics, this 1959 Pep Comics gem captures the classic misadventures of Riverdale’s teens with a playful, offbeat twist. The cover, also by Lucey and Szenics, perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos of the moment.

Archie is conducting an experiment to find the shortest route to school. Jughead suggests that the shortest way is a "bee-line hike": go in a straight line, no matter what obstacles he has to go over, under and through.
