Jughead Jones (more formally Forsyth Pendleton Jones III) is one of a close group of five teenagers who go to high school in mythical Riverdale, USA: Archie Andrews, Jughead, Betty Cooper, Veronia Lodge and Reggie Mantle. Archie Andrews became a favorite of comic books during World War II and by the early Fifties, he and his "gang" had their own comic books and digest-sized comic releases, as well as a popular comic strip in daily newspapers. Video fans will probably best know Jughead and the others for their animated TV show, "The Archie Show" (1968), which ran Saturday mornings on CBS-TV. In essence CBS had captured an even younger demographic than "The Monkees" had for NBC the year before, with the same idea of actors playing musicians in their own pop band, and singing "their own" songs in the band in the form of prerecorded video clips not unlike today's music videos. This in turn increased teen demand for "The Archies'" records. Jughead Jones (Picture 1). Jughead Jones cartoon images gallery 1. Jughead Jones cartoon pictures collection 1. Only the critics seemed to mind that the singers were based on cartoon characters, not real people acting. On or off the bandstand, Archie, Jughead and pals were drawn (literally) from Bob Fontana's comic-book style of the Forties and early Fifties. This "classic" look with its googly eyes, heavy eyebrows, Archie's beat-up Model T jalopy, and even Jughead's enduring crown beanie were instantly recognizable, even to adults who hadn't picked up a comic in years. The show was very successful. The following year (1969) it expanded into the "Archie Comedy Hour" and along the way, one of The Archies' songs ("Sugar, Sugar") actually made it to Number One on the charts! Other hits included "Truck Driver," "Jingle Jangle" and "Bang Shang A-Lang": the essence of bubblegum, in other words. Jughead played drums for The Archies. He was voiced in the series by Howard Morris but it is more likely his singing was supplied by a young Andy Kim. Buttressed by created-for-TV characters like "Sabrina, The Teenaged Witch," Jug and pals interact humorously with their friends, high-school faculty and other Riverdale citizens. New directions arose from new themes ("Archie's Weird Mysteries"). What with Sabrina, the all-female band "Josie and the Pussycats" and new plot angles, Archie, Jughead and the others stayed on CBS through most of the Seventies. Jughead Jones (Picture 1).
