☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeGo-Go receives a love poem from an admirer asking her to meet him at the sugar shop, which she decides to deliver to the school principal Mr. Phoss. After passing the note through Tippy in class, it ends up in Mr. Phoss's hands, and he assumes it's meant for him. Tippy then fantasizes about Go-Go attending a costume party dressed as a military officer, where she imagines herself irresistible to men in uniform and becoming the envy of the entire gathering. The issue concludes with Go-Go in her military costume making a dramatic entrance at the party.
When Go-Go's father complains about needing a caddy for his golf game, she recruits Animal to help—hoping he'll win over the gruff golfer. What starts as a disaster of mixed-up clubs and mishaps gradually transforms into an unlikely friendship, until a crucial moment on the final hole tests whether their newfound bond can survive the pressure of the perfect game.
Animal, a sheepdog who walks on his hind legs, daydreams about being a movie producer and hero—writing, directing, and starring in his own action picture where he rescues a young woman from troublemakers and wins her admiration. When his mother wakes him for school, Animal realizes his grand cinematic vision was just a dream, leaving him to rue the demanding life of a film producer. It's a lighthearted peek at one pup's big-screen fantasies set against the everyday reality of getting to class on time.
Go-Go has had it with her friend Tippy's matchmaking after a disastrous evening with Seymour Bronson, who spent the whole night pushing for physical affection despite her repeated refusals. Meanwhile, another character finds himself cornered by an angry creditor demanding payment on an overdue debt, and he's got his own peculiar ideas about how to handle the deadline. It's a pair of teen comedy vignettes that capture the misadventures and social stumbles of 1969 life.
Tommy hopes a love poem will convince his friend Tippy that his affections lie with her, not with the new math teacher Miss Zofftig—but when the note gets intercepted and misrouted to Principal Phogg, a comedy of errors unfolds that nobody quite saw coming. Written with teen humor and plenty of rhyme schemes gone wrong, this 1969 story proves that sometimes the best-laid romantic plans backfire in the most unexpected ways.
Tiny pressures the reluctant Egghead into taking her twin cousin Tubby on a date after striking out with every other boy in Centerville, but when the two finally meet that night, Egghead discovers the surprise might not be what he—or Tiny's scheming friends—expected. It's a lighthearted romp through teenage matchmaking gone hilariously sideways, complete with the kind of wordplay and physical comedy that made this 1969 series a teen favorite.
A teen searches for the perfect costume for an afternoon party and settles on a Napoleon outfit—only to have bad luck strike repeatedly on Friday the 13th, destroying his carefully planned ensemble piece by piece. Just when all seems lost, Egg-Head arrives at the party with an unexpected solution that saves the day in true comedic fashion.
Go-Go opens her dream hat shop and unveils her wildly mod designs to the world, but chaos erupts when her well-meaning animal companion inadvertently becomes her secret weapon—turning fashion disasters into unexpected triumphs. Watch as this sixties teen learns that sometimes the most "wiggy" creations come straight from the heart (or the head, as it were).
