Jughead Double Digest 187

The gang does their best to spread holiday cheer by caroling door-to-door when they make a startling discovery; Jughead has the voice of an angel! The Archies may have found their new lead singer right under their noses but there's one small catch (isn't there always?) See how Jughead's debut as the band's front man pans out in this holiday classic, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"

Betty and Veronica teach a valuable lesson in "Peace and Harm-Ony" when their mastery of demanding yoga poses leads to subbing for their instructor! Then, as Betty daydreams about her future, will she long for "High School Daze"? Finally, Veronica gets tired of being "The Middle Ground" for Archie and Reggie. Can she make herself the center of attention instead of being stuck in the middle?

Archie landed himself a plum job this Christmas: mall Santa! However, Archie quickly discovers that despite the opportunity to portray the beloved gift bearer and the perks that come with it (free treats!), being jolly for spoiled kids isn't as easy as it may seem. Will Archie's stint as Kris Kringle be a success or will he be in need of his friends bailing him out? The answer lies at the conclusion of "The Job!"

Archie has received one tardy too many for the Bee's liking. Feeling for their fella, the girls resolve to save Arch from further tardiness. With both Betty and Veronica getting involved, which girl will be his savior, and will Archie be spared from the Bee's wrath or will the girls go down with him? Plenty of laughs along the way in "Pairing Off!"

It's that time of year again and the big Christmas dance is upon us. But how is Veronica supposed to celebrate when she's fighting the common cold? It's up to Betty and Sugar Plum the Fairy to come to Ronnie's rescue before she misses the holiday event of the season. Will Mrs. Claus' home remedy do the trick or will the cold go from bad to worse? Find out in "Tis the Season to be Jolly!"

This Christmas is starting to look lonely for Veronica! While the gang makes plans to go caroling and enjoy each other's company for the holidays, poor Veronica has been roped into a Caribbean cruise with her parents. Mr. Lodge couldn't be happier to get a break from Archie, but is it really possible to keep him apart from Veronica for Christmas? You'll have to read "Holiday on the High Seas" and see for yourself!

When even Cheryl Blossom takes Veronica to task for being rotten to her, Veronica makes a demands of the Archie writers and editor - tell the 'Story of My Life.' From now on, she wants to be nice, but the editor has something else in mind! Can the writer stall Veronica long enough for her to come back to her senses, or has she exited her own tale halfway through? This story doesn't just break the fourth wall, it obliterates it! Then, break out the props and costumes, there's a new trend in town - 'Over the Top' theatrical prom proposals! 'The Make-Over': Veronica thinks 'The Make-over' is just what Smithers needs to win the girl of his dreams, but true love doesn't always come with a designer logo attached!

"By George!" When the gang gets a school assignment to write about a person who has inspired them, Kevin chooses George Takei, the legendary Star Trek actor who came out several years ago. When Kevin hears that he's at a local convention, he recruits Jughead to go with him, unaware that Mr. Takei, moved by Kevin's article, has made a trip to Riverdale to pay him a visit. Kevin rushes to meet up with his idol, but will he make it in time? Oh my!
