In "Some Slalom," Archie's attempt to prove a point by swapping clothes with Reggie backfires in the most hilariously predictable way—his scheme leads only to more chaos, not the upper hand he expected. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with energetic art by Al Hartley, this 1969 classic captures the usual teenage misadventures with a fresh twist, all rendered in vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and lettered by Bill Yoshida. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the lighthearted mischief of the moment.

In "The 'Bear'" from Pep #228 (1969), Archie finds himself trapped between a promise and a cold plunge when he agrees to swim outdoors in the winter just to please Veronica. With winter's chill looming and his resolve wavering, he’ll need more than a good excuse—he’ll need a clever plan to avoid the icy water without breaking his word.
