TIPPY TEEN "Wheel of Misfortune"

It's been a while since we ran some "teen humor", so let's look in on Tippy Teen...

...doing Archie-esque things with her Archie-esque cast in an Archie-esque tale from Tippy Teen #14 (1967).

Art by Doug Crane, who was the only artist to sign his art, probably because he was the only Tippy illustrator (besides artist/editor Samm Schwartz) who wasn't moonlighting from Archie Comics...at that point.

After Tower Comics went out of business, Doug worked on DC Comics' teen humor line including Swing with Scooter, Date with Debbie and Binky's Buddies.

From 1989-2005, he was a mainstay of Archie Comics' art staff, working on almost every title they published, even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The writer is unknown.

TIPPY TEEN "Fashions from Our Readers" & "Mad Fads"

Besides stories, comics run features...

...like this page featuring contributions from the readers (redrawn by the comic's artists), and the two-pager below, that I'm not sure was legit, or just the middle-aged male editor's idea of what teen girls were thinking...

All three pages from Tower's Tippy Teen #15 (196x).

The art looks like Doug Crane.

TIPPY TEEN "What's Happening, Baby?"

When middle-aged men write stories about hipsters...

...the results are going to be...interesting, offering a look at how the middle class viewed beatniks in the 1960s!

If the plotting and art style on this tale from 1968's Tippy Teen #19 reads like an Archie Comics story, that's because many of their writers and artists (who were freelancers) including Sam Schwartz, Harry Shorten, and Dan DeCarlo, also worked on Tippy strips for the short-lived Tower Comics in the 1960s!

If anyone can tell me who of that crew did this tale, I'll post the info and credit the poster!

 Happy Easter from Tippy!

Though there were a number of Easter-themed comic stories (and even entire comic books) in the 1940s and 1950s, this is the only Easter-themed comic I could find from the Silver Age!
