FIRST LOOK: Jughead #206

After a 4 issue sojourn as a semi-private eye, everyone’s favorite bottomless pit, Jughead is back to his old antics in next week’s Jughead #206! Archie Comics was kind enough to send another of their generous first looks out way, and it looks to be a nice return to the multiple stories in one issue format.  This time out, it looks like we have Jug using his culinary expertise to help out lunch lady Ms. Beazly, being Riverdale’s #1 trend-setter by coming up with an ingenious way to avoid a certain powerful smell, and finally discovering the warm and comfort of a combination robe and blanket. It looks like a lot of fun, give it a look!

JUGHEAD #206
“Snug as a Jug in a Rug” and “Information Please”
“Snug as a Jug in a Rug” finds Jughead so comfortable in his new Snuggly Wuggly blanket he wants to sleep forever! Archie finally gets him out to help him on a job, but Jughead falls asleep in the mailroom and ends up being shipped out as bulk mail! Then in “Information Please”, Jughead’s knowledge saves Ms. Beazly by knowing the secret ingredient in her special dish, Fiesta a la Beazly!
