Jughead's Double Digest #193
In "The Magic Touch," Ethel takes a fortune cookie's prediction—she'll marry a tall blonde man—far too seriously, setting her sights on Jughead despite his lack of height and hair color. As Jughead desperately hides a mop on his head to play along, Archie and Reggie step in to gently remind Ethel that fortune cookies aren’t exactly reliable. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo and colors by Barry Grossman, this lighthearted tale captures the humor of teenage crushes and misinterpreted fortunes. The cover, by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith, perfectly captures the playful chaos.
