The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #45

A kitchen scene gone gloriously sideways anchors Dan DeCarlo's cover for this 128-page digest, as Jughead frantically operates a paper cutter on what appears to be a very large sandwich — sending two shocked girls and a bewildered Archie scrambling while someone in the background cheerfully asks, "Has anyone seen my paper cutter?!" It's the kind of wonderfully absurd domestic chaos that made Archie's Riverdale gang so endearing throughout the 1980s. With over a hundred pages of comics packed inside, this 1987 digest is a genuinely satisfying read for fans of Jughead's appetite-fueled misadventures.
