Question: were jughead and betty together in the comics

Answer: No, Archie Comics trademarked the term 'Bughead', the name created by fans of the relationship between Betty and Jughead in both comics and the CW Riverdale. Betty and Jughead are canon, romantically, so far only in the 'Riverdale' universe, though Archie Comics has introduced their sleuthing relationship and subsequent ship name (#bughead) into their run of Riverdale comics.
