The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #71

A beach-day gag sets the perfect tone for this 128-page 1991 digest: Jughead sits on the sand with a massive sandwich dressed up in a sun hat and floral cover-up, insisting to a frustrated lifeguard that he and his "girl" want to be alone — all while a bemused blonde in a bikini looks on nearby and a "No Food Allowed on Beach" sign looms overhead. Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli deliver a wonderfully sunny cover that captures Jughead's food-obsessed logic in full, silly glory. With over a hundred pages of stories inside, this Archie Digest Library entry is a satisfying summer read.
