In "Going to Pieces!" from Archie Giant Series Magazine #185, Joe Edwards delivers a classic slice of 1971 small-town charm as Dad’s well-intentioned plan to cool off the kids backfires in the most relatable way—between a blown-up kiddie pool and a sudden downpour. With every panel drawn, inked, lettered, and even penciled by Joe Edwards himself, this issue captures the chaotic energy of family life in a single, perfectly paced story.
