The stories

“Genesis... the Beginning”

Two pretty girls, Cheryl and Lori, admit to each other that Jughead's beanie turns them on, and decide to admit their feelings to him. Jughead is turned off by the new female attention, but when he falls asleep while watching a science fiction movie, some strange power expands beyond the TV set and changes Jughead. When he wakes up, he has a new, mysterious pin on his beanie, and is suffused with the desire to see, to talk to, and even to touch a girl.

“Fielder's Choice”

Now that Jughead likes girls, he's confidently prepared to "play the field," but Archie and Reggie warn him about his lack of experience in dealing with the opposite sex.

“The Novice”

Jughead buys cool new threads to go with his new ladykiller image, but admits to Archie that despite his show of confidence, he's got a lot to learn about girls and dating. Archie encourages Jughead to take the plunge and talk to Cheryl.

“On the Line!”
