Tippy's Friends Go-Go and Animal
Tower Comics published 25 issues of
Tippy Teen, plus a special),
and 15 issues of
Tippy's Friends Go-Go &
Animal, and four issues of the magazine-like Teen-in,
which also featured Tippy and her pals. Tippy owed a lot to
the reigning superstar of teen humor in comic books, Archie.
In her case, however, it was more than just subject matter and
style – she also shared their creative personnel. Tippy's boyfriend,
Tommy, had a relationship similar to Archie's with Betty, in
that both were free to date others, and sometimes did. Her best
friend, Go-Go West, had a boyfriend called Animal, and the two
of them resembled Archie's classmates Big Moose and Midge, except
Animal wasn't as possessive as Moose. The series lasted until
October 1969. (amazon.com)
