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!

GO-GO "Violin Violation"

One of the most successful Archie-style imitators was Tippy Teen...

...who sold well enough to spin-off a book featuring some of her supporting cast, led by Tippy's best friend, Go-Go and her on-and-off boyfriend Animal.

Written and illustrated by Sam Schwartz and Harry Lucey, this never-reprinted tale from Tower's Tippy's Friends Go-Go and Animal #1 (1966) has the look and feel of an Archie comic of the era.

That's not surprising since both Schwartz and Lucey were regular contributors to various Archie titles!
