BaltimoreLauren Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 At what point was it determined that Jughead shouldn't like girls? I like him better as someone who likes girls, but perhaps is disdainful of going after every pretty girl a la Archie. It was determined rather early on, I think as early as Archie's first appearance, actually. Although there was a pilot for a live action show in the 1960's that shows him asking Veronica to be his date to the school dance, and there was a story in the late 80's/early 90's where he does have a girlfriend, and he does kiss her.

I agree. The covers like this with Jughead distracted by women were more the exception than the rule. Pep #68 is similar in that Archie and Jughead are walking out of the Riverdale Women Hater's Club just as a pretty girl walks by. Of course, why they were members of the club in the first place is not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 This comic, aside from being a great cover, has a lot of sentimental value for me. My dad got it for me when I was 12, so it was my first real "collectible" comic. Didn't take it out of the bag to read, either. Classic, classic cover and my personal fav as well!

underthebigw Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Definitely from a different era, but one of my all-time favorite Archie covers. I've always thought there was something timeless about it.

Jayman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Definitly a great cover and one from my childhood era. Covers like this made you want to hit ol' Archie over the head with a hammer and say "Wake up fool!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a favorite of mine. I imagine that some of these are impossible to find in grade. I have a couple Juggy's from this number range in nice shape I bought a long time ago. Do you know if that line Juggy is saying is from anything or did the Archie writers just wax poetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Do you know if that line Juggy is saying is from anything or did the Archie writers just wax poetic? Probably an homage to Omar Khayyam's Rubiyat. "A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness-- Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!" Great covers, everyone! Loved that Cricket O'Dell story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
