Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #86
In "Quality Time," Jughead Jones finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a weekend of forced family bonding—much to his dismay—when his parents decide to spend "quality time" together, leaving him to navigate the chaos of a house full of adult expectations. Written by Victor Gorelick and illustrated by Ellen Leonforte, this 1996 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a touch of relatable teenage frustration, all wrapped in a cover by Stan Goldberg and Mike Esposito that perfectly captures Jughead’s signature blend of hunger and existential dread.
