In "Missionary Impossible," Archie faces a surprisingly sharp needlepoint showdown when Mary encourages him to try the craft, only to spark Fred’s firm objection—until Mary quietly points out that even his own doctor and golfing partner stitches up more than just golf balls. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with Chic Stone’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1973 gem features Dan DeCarlo’s cover art and a moment of gentle humor that cuts through old-school masculinity with a single thread.

In "The Acrobat," Archie tries out for the tumbling team and surprises everyone—especially Mr. Lodge and Smithers—with his sudden knack for flipping and flopping around the house without a single breakage. But when it comes to just walking, he’s still as awkward as ever, proving that even a little skill doesn’t fix the basics.

In "Everything's Sew Sew," Mary tries to get Archie into needlepoint, but Fred’s quick to dismiss it as unmanly—until Mary drops a surprising fact: his doctor and golfing partner is a devoted needleworker. Now Fred’s left wondering whether he’d rather trust a skilled needlehand or a “manly” doctor who can’t even thread a needle.
