In the mid 1960s the Batman TV show brought comics to new popularity, and one of the many publishers that sprang up to capitalize on this fame was Tower Comics. You might remember Tower as the outfit that published T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, a overrated superhero series with lots of Wally Wood art. But Tower ALSO published TIPPY TEEN, an underrated teen comic with lots of Samm Schwartz (JUGHEAD) artwork. Tippy lasted longer than the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agents and was even reprinted widely (under the title VICKI) by Atlas/Seaboard in the 70s.

Tippy is your all-American teenage girl who likes rock and roll music and new clothes, and gets into wacky situations like making two dates with two boys for the same dance!

TIPPY was aimed more towards girls so there were lots of reader-submitted fashions, most of which are pretty garish, even for the 60s.

Tippy's best friend is Go-Go, a folksinger who dates a giant football player named Animal. I don't know if they were actually popular enough to warrant their own book but Tower was more than willing to give it a try! I don't know if those boots Go-Go's wearing get the Joan Baez seal of approval, though.

Go-Go's dad hates Animal and never misses a chance to kick his ass.
TIPPY TEEN also had a spinoff called TEEN-IN where lame Tippy stories were joined by lame teen advice columns and lame teen activites, like this guide for hosting your own "Beatnik" party. Weed and espresso are not mentioned


TEEN-IN also gives us non-Tippy stories like this totally lush romance strip by the masterful Chic Stone.
