All About Archie / Re: Jughead the lover
Last post by beatman10 - February 11, 2024, 01:41:50 PM
I discovered Archie Comics from the 69-70's Filmation Saturday cartoon. Being a musician, I liked how the stories were interspersed with songs from actual "The Archies" albums. I know the music gets dismissed as bubblegum, but I still like it to this day. I'm still waiting to find out whether it was Betty or Veronica supposedly singing Toni Wine's lead in "Jingle Jangle".
Anyway, there was an episode in the series called "Jughead's Girlfriend" where we see both Jug and Hot Dog falling in love with the new girl in town, Paula Pingle and her poodle named Penelope. Both Jug and Hot Dog are oblivious to their surroundings which causes them to nearly get hit by cars, walking into telephone poles, in school mishaps, asking Pop for "Pingle Burgers", etc. But Jughead can't bring himself to meet her.
Over the next couple weeks, Archie and the gang notices that Jughead has lost his appetite and isn't getting much sleep. Reggie has had enough of Jughead's pining over Paula and decides to play matchmaker. (I'm a little surprised Reggie didn't try hitting on Paula himself). Reggie introduces Jughead and Paula but  Paula reveals she and Penelope are already in love with secret admirers. Jughead is crushed.
However, that night, the gang sees Jughead and Hot Dog walking in their sleep to Paula's house. Jughead, in his pajamas, picks up a rock and throws it a her window. She turns on the light and sees Jughead, who she calls Egghead, and says "Oh my love. I thought you would never come". Jughead, in his sleep, starts reciting the most romantic lines and Paula, in her nightgown and hair curlers, is just eating it up. Reggie decides to turn on Paula's spotlight which wakes Jughead and Hot Dog. Betty tells Jughead that he's in Paula's yard. Jughead sees Paula with her curlers and runs away. She yells "Where are you my Prince Charming?" He yells back "Having a nightmare". Betty and Veronica both comment about Jughead's silly reaction to seeing a girl in curlers, but both Archie and Reggie take off running. The story end with Betty, Veronica, Paula and her poodle saying "Men! Hmmmmph!!"
I did like this episode except Paula's voice. Paula was pretty, had short blondish hair, but her voice made her sound much older than she was.

I wrote an essay summarizing the state of Archie Comics at the end of 2023 and speculating about its future.
