“Stop The Music”

In "Stop The Music," Jughead finds himself in a buzzing predicament when his habitual whistling—meant to calm his bees—sparks chaos in Miss Grundy’s classroom. As bees swarm and Mr. Weatherbee becomes an unwilling target of their fury, Jughead’s tune becomes the only key to the situation, though his attempt to help only leads to a sharper, more painful note. George Frese writes and draws this classic 1951 misadventure, with Samm Schwartz capturing the mayhem on the cover.

Jughead gets in trouble for whistling in class. He is whistling out of habit because it's how he soothes his bees. When bees invade Miss Grundy's room, Jughead is able to tame them by whistling, which gets him in more trouble with Mr. Weatherbee and leaves the bees buzzing around Mr. Weatherbee's head. Mr. Weatherbee pleads with Jughead to whistle them away, but Jughead lets out such a shrill whistle, that all the bees sting Mr. Weatherbee.
