☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Lamping Along Together," Tommy’s plan to spice up the school paper with cheesecake photos of Tippy sparks a playful rivalry when Peggy insists on being the front-page feature instead. With Doug Crane handling both art and inks, and Samm Schwartz bringing the cover to life, this 1967 issue captures a lighthearted clash of egos in a classic Tippy Teen setup.
When Tippy Teen discovers her mother is tossing out an old lamp—a wedding gift from wealthy Aunt Emma—she and Tommy Trippit sell it to an antique dealer for three dollars. But when word arrives that Aunt Emma is visiting that very afternoon, Tippy's parents realize the lamp needs to be back on the mantle, sparking a frantic scramble to recover it before their well-to-do relative arrives. In true teen-comedy fashion, the misunderstandings pile up fast as everyone races against the clock to keep Aunt Emma happy.
When Ashley Hartburn invites the gang to his pad for a backyard barbecue, things quickly spiral out of control—a runaway grill goes careening down a steep hill toward town, sending Tippy Teen, Tommy Trippit, and Ashley on a wild taxi chase through the city streets. The frantic pursuit takes them through red lights, past confused cops, and across the whole neighborhood before the trail runs cold. When the teens finally catch up to the grill at an unexpected location, they discover the steak inside has somehow survived the journey in perfect condition.
Dressed in a lion costume, Animal stumbles into a chaotic mix-up when police mistake him for a real lion and give chase—leading him straight into the middle of the Big Game Club’s annual dinner. With the club’s guests already in full costume, the night spirals into a whirl of mistaken identities and frantic antics.
In a lighthearted clash of school spirit and sweet obsession, Tommy’s plan to spice up the Tippy Teen newspaper with cheesecake photos of Tippy backfires when Peggy insists she’s the one who should be front-page material—leading to a deliciously awkward stand-off over who gets the spotlight.
Tippy Teen just got her driver's license and can't wait to hit the road, but when she sweet-talks Tommy Trippit into lending her his car for a practice spin, her wobbly driving skills put pedestrians, parked cars, and one very unhappy police officer through the wringer. Things escalate quickly from there as Tippy's behind-the-wheel disasters pile up, leading to a courtroom showdown that leaves Tommy surprisingly relieved about the whole mess.
Mr. Teen discovers that Tippy has reached an awkward stage—she's old enough to have her own phone, but too young to pay the bill! It's a lighthearted look at the growing pains of being a teenager caught between independence and responsibility.
Tippy tags along with Ashley to the wrestling matches, where Tommy’s busy hawking peanuts—because, as it turns out, even a wrestling ring can’t beat a good snack hustle. With the crowd roaring and the action heating up, Tippy’s just trying to keep up, but who knows what kind of chaos a day at the mat can spark?
