The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #48

When the school tries to curb Jughead’s endless snacking by letting him eat all he wants, chaos ensues—especially when a mysterious Snack Pack delivery throws the cafeteria into disarray. With Andy and an unnamed female teen caught in the crossfire, and a Riteway Supplies driver making an unexpected stop, the lunchroom becomes a battleground of hunger and hilarity.

In a playful twist on heroics, Archie becomes convinced that Jughead has developed real fighting prowess after watching him rehearse a stage fight with Moose, sparking a wave of exaggerated rumors across Riverdale. The story unfolds as the town’s perception of Jughead’s abilities grows wildly out of proportion—no one knows quite what to believe, and the line between performance and power blurs.

In "Casting Shadows," Veronica leaves for the weekend, entrusting Betty with the task of watching Archie—just to keep him out of trouble. Naturally, she also asks Reggie to keep an eye on Betty, setting off a chain of well-intentioned (and hilariously misguided) babysitting attempts.

Archie and Reggie, both counting on landing a glamorous cooking partner, are stunned when they’re paired together—only to realize their shared lack of kitchen skills might be a recipe for disaster. With a mix of panic and pride, they try to survive a single class session, determined to escape before the oven starts smoking.
