Question: why does jughead's sweater have an s on it

title: Jughead Jones
text: Another mystery that follows Jughead 's character is the meaning of the `` S '' on his sweatshirt . This remains a mystery to this day , although many stories have hinted at a meaning . In Jughead # 30 ( 1992 ) , when his psychiatrist , Sara , asked him `` why an ' S ' ? '' he replied `` I dunno ! My third cousin was called skinny ... '' The triangular banner on the cover of issue 140 of Archie & Friends shows that the `` S '' stands for Silby , as in Silby High School , which he attended for a few months as a freshman . At one time after his sweater was filled with holes due to what he thought was a moth when it was actually a chemical accident caused in lab class , he reveals that he simply likes the letter S and finds it `` compatible , '' because the letter can stand for `` soup , sandwich , steak and all kinds of goodies ! '' after his friends ask him . Betty rolls her eyes at the explanation and adds , `` S stands for `` sorry I asked '' ! '' Another theory is that he is a non-conformist so when everyone wears `` R '' which stands for Riverdale he just goes with the next letter `` S '' .
