"Big" Ethel Muggs is a fictional character by Archie Comics. She is a student of Riverdale High School, known to her schoolmates by the nickname Big Ethel.
Portrayed in the early era as a tall, ugly, somewhat boy-crazy individual, she had a huge infatuation with Jughead Jones, usually resorting to devious means to get Jughead in her clutches. She is usually portrayed running after Jughead. Ethel has also pursued Jughead by appealing to his appetite; the Betty and Veronica comic title often featured real recipes that Ethel used to make her way to Jughead's heart through his stomach. Earlier issues featuring Big Ethel show her bearing a strong resemblance to Jughead, also, with her prominent nose, dark hair, and angular build. In the late eighties, Ethel was occasionally drawn with braces on her teeth, which have always been buck.
In the later era, she's been portrayed as an average, somewhat likeable individual, whose infatuation for Jughead has lessened quite a bit. She now has other interests that keep her mind from Jughead, including Archie Andrews, to keep her company. This actually tends to make Jughead a bit jealous.
She has even been on one memorable date with Archie in one story. That date showed another side of Ethel, where she was funny, smart and attractive.
