Jughead's pining for the coveted "Steadiest Customer Award" spot at Pop's until he finds out some unfortunate news - he's not Pop's VIP customer!

"A day at the carnival is the perfect outing for good ol' Jughead! Funnel cakes, cotton candy, giant lollipops, corn dogs, and Ethel in a giant turtle suit! Ethel's volunteered to run as mascot in the carnival fun run, and she's challenged Jughead to compete! If she wins, Jughead has to take her out to the movies, and dinner, and a bunch of other things that Jughead wouldn't be caught dead doing! Well, no problem, right? Jughead can outrun a teen girl in a turtle suit, even if there is all kinds of free food being given away on the race track! (Formerly Jughead & Archie Double Double Digest.)"

Cupid headquarters have just received a message that a girl in Riverdale wishes to be kissed. The girl: Ethel. The hopeful kisser: Jughead.

When Archie starts starting to get worried about his gluttonous pal Jughead's unhealthy eating habits, he tries to get him into exercising. It's to no avail, however, since Jughead insists that any kind of strenuous activity gives him a rash.

At a garage sale, Jughead and Archie make an interesting purchase: a large statue of an elephant! But Archie hasn't decided to give his room a circus-style revamping: he knows that Mr. Lodge has started collecting vintage carousel horses and Archie believes this elephant would be a perfect addition to that collection. The problem now is getting this heavy beast to the Lodge Estate. Will they get it there in one piece? And just what will Mr. Lodge think of this new addition to his collection? Find out in "The Crass Menagerie," this hilarious new lead story to a fun-filled comics double digest!

Archie finally gets the courage to ask out DeDe Diaz, the daughter of the owner of the local comic shop, out on a date-which in turn reminds DeDe that she's been meaning to ask Jughead out to see the same movie!
