The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #22

In "Science and the Bee," Jughead brings his pet queen bee, Betsy, to school for a science project—only to find the whole hive has followed along. As the bees swarm toward the most shiny object in the room, Mr. Weatherbee’s bald head becomes an unexpected magnet, turning a simple day into a buzzing classroom chaos.

Veronica’s abstract painting draws laughter from her classmates, but when Mr. Lodge steps in to have it displayed at a gallery, the art world suddenly takes notice—especially after she accidentally drops and smudges it.

In "The Weaker Sex!", Moose is hurt after Midge calls him a slob, prompting Jughead to suggest a fancy restaurant outing to teach him manners—though his real motive is a free meal. Archie and Reggie, ever the mischief-makers, whisper to Midge that Moose might be seeing someone else, stirring up tension as the group heads out for dinner.

In "The Magic Sneakers," Jughead’s latest scheme to sell his legendary sneakers—claimed to grant super-speed—takes an unexpected turn when the shoes actually seem to work, leaving him eager to reclaim them. What starts as a clever ruse quickly spirals into a funny, fast-paced situation that tests Jughead’s usual confidence.
