With Ethel’s help, he tries to sneak it back in, only to accidentally ruin it—leading to a surprisingly creative fix when she stitches him a new outfit from the couch’s fabric. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex W.

The cover, by Fernando Ruiz and Jon D’Agostino, perfectly captures the issue’s lighthearted spirit.

When Mrs. Jones declares Jughead’s cherished old couch a casualty of spring cleaning, he’s devastated—until Ethel teams up to sneak it back in. But things go hilariously awry, leaving the couch in tatters. In a surprising twist, Ethel uses her sewing talents to turn the fabric into a one-of-a-kind outfit for Jughead, turning disaster into a fashion statement.
When Jughead tries on Reggie’s discarded jacket, he suddenly finds himself acting like Reggie—complete with a mischievous streak and a flair for pranks. As the jacket’s influence takes hold, Jughead’s antics start turning the whole gang on their heads.
Jughead’s surprise win of the Riverdale Matron's League Prize for his essay lands him in a full-blown fashion crisis—because the ceremony demands a suit, and he’s got no intention of wearing one. With his usual appetite for comfort and resistance to formality, he’s determined to avoid the event, even if it means dodging the entire town.
Veronica’s certain her school dance dress is a showstopper—until Jughead walks in wearing a tuxedo made from the exact same rare fabric. Now she’s scrambling to figure out how her one-of-a-kind design ended up in his wardrobe, and whether she’s the only one who noticed the match.
