Jughead & Friends Digest Magazine #18

Jo and her Girl Scout troop try to sell cookies to Mr. Smythe, but his constant paranoia about being tricked makes him suspicious of even the most innocent requests. When a fake cop shows up claiming to be there for a routine check, Mr. Smythe’s own distrust blinds him to the real scam unfolding right in front of him.

In "Writing Wrongs," Archie vents his frustration to Veronica by penning a scathing letter—only to hand it over to Jughead, who has a habit of fixing things with his own brand of wisdom. With a wink and a smirk, Jughead rewrites the note, turning Archie’s raw outburst into something far more… carefully worded.

In "War of the Words," Jughead finds himself caught in a culinary showdown when a slick-talking pizza vendor steals Pop Tate’s customers. After a humbling trip to the rival pizzeria, Jughead’s loyalty is tested when Pop offers his own pie—only for the rival chef Segarini to publicly mock it. The twist? The pizza Segarini condemns is the very one he made.

In "Rad Ad," Archie tries to score big for a date with Veronica by selling ad space on his car—only to learn she thinks such antics are beneath her. As he scrambles to hide the pickle ad from her sight, a photo shoot gone wrong turns the moment into a viral sensation, landing Veronica a surprising modeling gig.

In "Hatrick," Jughead’s relentless pursuit of his wayward hat leads him through gusts and giggles, turning a simple chase into an unexpected fashion adventure—until the wind finally blows him into a store where a new wardrobe might just be the prize he never saw coming.
