Dating Dilemma
Reggie / comic story / 1 page
- Genre
- humor; teen
- Characters
- Reggie Mantle; Moose Mason; Midge Klump; Jughead Jones
- Synopsis
- Reggie comments to Jughead that he'd like to date Midge. When Jughead says that there are easier ways to commit suicide, Reggie tells Jughead that he isn't afraid of Moose (and thinks "especially when he's not around"). Midge tells Reggie not to hang around because Moose is in the area. Reggie tells Midge to forget that big ox and let him take her out. Midge asks Reggie how he can take her out when he's going to be in the hospital for the next three weeks. When Reggie asks since when is he going to be in the hospital, Midge says "since the big ox heard you ask me out".
