The Blob
Jughead is experimenting to find a way to dissolve strong glues. Instead he gets a jelly-like red blob that takes on a life of its own. It imitates the kids (in outline) and devours all the food in sight. Eventually, it tries to imitate Archie and Veronica "in a clinch" and strangles itself (off-panel.)
