Archie Giant Comics Digest #[nn]
In "Mermaid Service!", Jughead’s offhand comment about Bruinhilda’s weight stings, so he sets out to make amends by taking her to a picnic. When their boat won’t make it to the island, they improvise with a raft—only for the dock to give way when Bruinhilda goes to retrieve the lunches, sending both her and the boat adrift. Jughead springs into action to rescue them, earning not just her thanks but also a shared sandwich each—much to his quiet dismay. Art by Bill Vigoda brings the seaside mishap to life with charm and wit, capturing the heart of a classic Archie moment.

Jughead hurts Bruinhilda's feelings by commenting on her weight. He makes it up by taking her to the picnic. Because of her weight, they have trouble getting to the island by boat, so they take a raft. Once there, Bruinhilda goes to get the lunches from the boat Archie and Veronica had taken to the island, and she breaks the dock, drifting back out with the boat. When Jughead hears that the lunches are drifting away with the boat, he saves the boat and Bruinhilda with it, earning her gratitude and her lunch as well. The lunch turns out to be one sandwich each, to Jughead's disappointment.
