The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #32

In "Word Game," Jughead Jones tries out a flashy new look as a self-proclaimed ladies' man, but his confidence is put to the test when Reggie Mantle stages a prank involving a messy, oversized pizza. Archie Andrews watches the chaos unfold, caught between amusement and disbelief as the two friends' rivalry takes a deliciously messy turn.

Veronica Lodge sees the same old pranks she’s pulled on Betty Cooper to keep her away from Archie Andrews growing dull, and she’s determined to up the ante. With Pop Tate’s soda shop as her stage and Betty’s sharp wit as her foil, the game escalates into something far more inventive—though just how far Veronica’s willing to go remains to be seen.

In "Exercise Caution!", Jughead Jones finds himself caught in a web of misdirected matchmaking when Archie and Reggie attempt to set him up with Midge—only to be interrupted by Moose Mason, who’s on his way to the same room. With Mr. Weatherbee looming nearby and the stakes rising, the usual chaos of Riverdale high school reaches new heights of awkward tension.

Jughead Jones stuns Coach Kleats with his uncanny ability to shoot baskets from anywhere on the court, but when it comes to catching, he’s just as hopeless as ever—leaving the coach to wonder if there’s really no catch to his talent. With Archie and Reggie watching, Jughead’s one skill might just be the key to winning the game… if only he could stop the ball from going through the hoop and straight into his hands.

Jughead Jones turns Riverdale High’s faculty into a symphony of exasperation with his nonstop drumming, pushing Principal Weatherbee to the edge—so he stages a last-minute "Archies" concert just to keep the peace. It’s a wild, rhythm-driven chaos where even the teachers can’t resist tapping their feet.

In "Fob Job," Betty Cooper’s new job at a local record producer’s studio catapults her into sudden fame among the area’s male musicians, turning heads and stirring envy—especially in Veronica Lodge, who’s determined to level the playing field. With Archie, Reggie, and Mick watching from the sidelines, the usual teenage dynamics of friendship, rivalry, and a dash of mischief take center stage.

In "Blind Date," Jughead agrees to a blind date set up by Reggie, unaware that his match is the ever-practical Miss Grundy. With his usual charm and a surprise companion in the form of his dapper Uncle Steve, the evening takes an unexpected turn when sparks fly between Miss Grundy and Steve—leaving Jughead pleasantly uninvolved.

In "The Peacemaker," Jughead Jones steps in when Archie Andrews plans to challenge Vic "The Violent" Murray to a fight, using a clever ruse to defuse the tension by convincing Archie that even Moose Mason is too afraid to stand up to Vic. With a mix of wit and mischief, Jughead’s quick thinking puts the brakes on a showdown before it starts.
