The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #94

Archie wakes up with a dramatic flair, channeling Captain Ahab as he prepares for school, only to downplay his acting chops when Betty Cooper asks if he’d like to lead the Annual Stage Extravaganza. Meanwhile, Jughead Jones remains suspiciously unimpressed, and the rest of the gang—Veronica, Mr. Weatherbee, Miss Grundy, and even Archie’s parents—wade into the chaos of school theater prep with their usual mix of enthusiasm and confusion.

In "The Best Policy," Ethel Muggs finds herself at a crossroads when she discovers a way to clear up a misunderstanding between Jughead Jones and Joani Jumpp—but she's tempted to keep the truth hidden, just to have a chance at a date with Jughead. With Hot Dog around and Betty Cooper nearby, Ethel’s quiet moment of indecision could lead to more than just a friendship.

Jughead and Archie don’t mind the cold—until they’re stuck wearing ski masks to school for warmth, leading to a comical misunderstanding when Jughead surprises Miss Philips in the office. With the police on their way, the duo hand over their masks to Mr. Weatherbee and Mr. Svenson, who don’t quite know what they’ve gotten into.
