In "Joust for Fun," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly cast as a jester in King Weatherbee’s court, only to be thrust into a royal jousting tournament he never asked for. With his usual mix of bumbling charm, sheer luck, and a surprisingly potent foot odor, he stumbles his way through the competition—leaving both opponents and spectators equally bewildered.
