#queer jug

And in the next story, Weatherbee is looking for something at the recycling center and asks permission to search - the guy running it says, "Whatever turns you on!"

anyway some queer things are happening

(rip betty [and possibly ronnie??] for those tomboy jokes though)

honorable mention that didn’t fit in the image limit, jughead taking notice of the attractiveness of the new boy in town

I’ve tried to do some googling with little luck, but the comics have always called Jughead a “woman hater,” but rarely to mean “misogynist” - just as if it’s a commonly-known but rare personality trait where a man isn’t interested in dating women. (This comic is from 1951 or so, but I think the term stuck around until women’s lib.) I have to wonder if it’s the same thing as “confirmed bachelor” or if it didn’t have the same connotations. 

In general in these 50′s comics, Jug is occasionally emasculated for a gag, but so are the other boys. (As an example, within only a few volumes from each other, Jughead was tricked into wheeling a baby carriage around in public... and so was Archie in a separate story.) Jughead does seem maybe less concerned about looking masculine than the other boys, but the comics aren’t afraid of throwing around the “sissy” insult, and Jughead never gets called that.
