Giant size book with about twice the pages of a regular issue and a 25 cent cover price. Comic pages are in color. Tower 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.
