Forget what I said in the other threads about Jughead always being sweet and nice.

He is not nice to Veronica because he thinks of her as a worthy adversary.

Since they were kids 

I found another good story with these two but I'm having trouble finding what I did with the rest of it.

Is that the one where Jughead becomes a hand model? Come to think of it, there may be more than one of those stories.

Ah, yes, Jughead does have dainty wrists.

The idea of a girl pulling a boy out of a bush for a date is hilarious to me and even more so when it's Jug and Ron.

A hand model? that sounds funny. I haven't read that story. Hope you can find the rest and post it, Daren.

Okay, so Jughead and Veronica were spotted by this guy who says he's just found the perfect model, so of course Veronica assumes:














Oops.   









I don't think they meant this ending to be a slur at women, I think it's a reference to Jughead's woman hating ways even though he'd sort of grown beyond that at this point. Anyway I like this story because it's one of the rare ones where Veronica "wins" over Jughead. Kind of.

Jughead may be relationship-avoidant, but he's still firmly psychologically male in gender. At first his ego is stroked by the idea that he's become the male equivalent of what Veronica would like to be - a sought-after male model (Veronica would obviously like to be a sought-after female model), and the envy of his friends. When he discovers that the only reason he was sought-after was because his skinny wrists are not only acceptable, but preferrable, to model women's watches, his male ego is insulted and he's embarassed. He may not be attracted to women, but he doesn't want to be mistaken for one either.

Well, he does have that woman hater past (though it IS the past).

This story is too funny! 

So this is where that panel with Jughead and Reggie that I've seen nine million times comes from.

These are from Runaway Ronnie, when Veronica is trying to live on her own working at a full time job after school and burning herself out.













You'd think he'd attack Reggie who had just insulted him instead of an injured girl but noooo.


Still...









Changeable little bugger isn't he?




(I don't think he's talking about Archie. I can believe he'd have a secret crush on Archie but I don't think he'd be delusional.)

That's why we have a thread discussing a Jughead/Veronica feud, and not one discussing a Jughead/Reggie "feud". Although you certainly can't deny that one exists, just like you can't deny an Archie/Reggie "feud" or a Moose/Reggie "feud". People don't usually characterize them that way, as feuds, but it's certainly some kind of antagonistic relationship. But that's Reggie's thing. He's the burr in everyone's saddle. We expect him to be contentious.

While Jughead can often be caught admitting to Veronica's beauty (in passing, as he details her many other faults), would he characterize her as having "brains"? I don't think so. What about Archie, then? "Brains"? Jughead's his best pal, but I don't think so. So who's got the brains here? Jughead, that's who. It's a pretty weak attempt at humor, but he's referring to himself on both counts.
