The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #19
In "Helping Hands," Jughead Jones finds himself accidentally electrified by Dilton Doiley’s latest invention, leaving his hands permanently sticky—just in time to make an awkward connection with Midge. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz, this 1981 classic from Archie Comics captures the charm and chaos of small-town high school life, all wrapped in a quirky, sticky situation. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the moment’s lighthearted tension.
