Monday PSA: Buzzy Says “Be Sure of Your Facts!”
April 9th, 2007
Filed under: Comics
On today’s Monday PSA, we have a mystery: who swiped the kids’ money?
- Was it Jim? What secrets lurk within that sweater vest?
- Is it the kid in the striped shirt? Will he grow up to be the Goon?
- Is it the Jughead wannabe? Did anyone really wear those hats?
- Will it be one of the other two members of the club? Are they the Andrew Ridgeley and Art Garfunkel of this PSA?
- Maybe it was Buzzy? Why is he hanging around the clubhouse if he’s not a member? And what’s with the bow tie?
- How about the mysterious “Uncle Ned”? Did he really just give Jim $5?
These mysteries and many more will be answered* if you dare read “Buzzy says ‘Be Sure of Your Facts!’”
*More or less. Some things will always remain a mystery, like sweater vests and Jughead hats. Personally, I think Jim was a little too forgiving. He should have at least kept the popcorn for himself.

James Lileks uncovered the mystery of the Jughead Hat (aka the “Bugs Meany”) many years ago. It’s apparently something called a “Whoopie Cap”, and yes, they were quite popular.
