One avid comic book reader found a familiar monster in a Jughead comic gifted to her.

Penticton resident Debbie Verhaeghe-Wooley said she has been reading Archie comics since she was a little girl.

鈥淢y family has always given me Archie books for Christmas,鈥 she said. 鈥淟ong story short, my mom 鈥 who is 80 鈥 found a bunch of Archie books at the thrift store.鈥

And when Verhaeghe-Wooley was perusing them, she spotted the Ogopogo.

In No. 28 of Jughead and Friends Digest, the popular character who can never satisfy his hunger was given a crash course in the ways of the infamous Okanagan Lake monster while visiting his uncle in Canada.

鈥淥gopogo is the legendary monster of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia,鈥 a professor tells Jughead and pals in the book.

She said it was pretty interesting to spot some local celebrities in the stories she鈥檚 loved since childhood.

Verhaeghe-Wooley shared her findings in a Penticton Facebook group, which was then re-shared in Vintage Vernon BC.

The post has since been shared nearly 100 times, with some readers stoked the creators spelled 鈥淥kanagan鈥 correctly.
