Jughead Jones

Jughead Jones is one of the main characters created by Bob Montana and John L. Goldwater in Archie Comics who first appeared in the first Archie story, from Pep Comics #22 (December 1941). He is the son of Forsythe Jones II; in one of the early Archie newspaper comic strips, he himself is identified as Forsythe Pendleton Jones III (and in one strip, likely due to continuity error, as Forsythe Van Jones). He has a white sheepdog named Hot Dog and a younger sister, Forsythia "Jellybean" Jones. Jughead (sometimes shortened to Jug or Juggie) is the best friend of Archie Andrews. Jughead is a smart, snarky, laid-back, easygoing and rather odd high school student. He's obsessed with eating food, and in some storylines is asexual. Most see him as being lazy. He can be identified by his long nose, half-closed eyes, "S" sweatshirt, and crown-like button beanie hat, called a whoopee cap. 2Concept and creation Bob Montana has stated that unlike other characters in the series who were based on people he knew, Jughead was a character he imagined. Montana's widow Peg Bertholet stated that high school friend of Montana's named Skinny Linehan supposedly had some of Jughead's peculiar trait
