Tippy Teen #6

When two British rock sensations, Eric and Godfrey, come to town, Tippy's friends Tommy and Animal scheme to get autographs by sneaking backstage—but their plan takes a chaotic turn when they're enlisted as decoys to help the musicians escape a mob of screaming fans. What starts as a clever shortcut to impress the girls becomes a bruising lesson in unintended consequences when the disguise backfires spectacularly.

Tippy's got herself into quite the pickle when she accepts a dance date with the smooth-talking Rodney Swinger—even though she already promised to go with the sweet Tommy days earlier. With both boys showing up to collect her that evening, Tippy spends the night frantically juggling her two dates, sending each one on increasingly ridiculous errands to keep them apart. The scheme hilariously unravels when they both discover the double-dealing, leading to a showdown that leaves Tippy right back where she started: dateless and learning a lesson about being honest.

Tippy tries a fireplace-and-marshmallows scheme to get Tommy in a romantic mood—and hopefully into a marriage proposal—but between her smoke-stained dress, his fixation on snack preferences, and a surprise visit from a hungry friend, the evening spirals into chaos before it can reach the altar.

When Tippy and Tommy head to a country fair, Tippy's scheming rival Peggy Fleagle crashes their date and hatches a plot to break them up—by posing as a fortune teller and spinning a yarn about doomed romance. Things spiral fast when the couple actually falls for the phony predictions, leaving Peggy to gloat over her apparent victory... until Tommy gets wise to the con.

Animal spots Ashley Hartburn's lost wallet notice offering a $5 reward and decides to outbid him by offering $10—but there's a catch to his scheme that keeps the prize just out of reach. It's a quick, clever bit of teen humor about one kid's misguided attempt to turn a found wallet into a windfall.

A junk collector mistakes Miss Snodgrass for a wine drinker—and when she indignantly sets him straight, his follow-up question lands even worse. This quick-witted humor story proves that sometimes the worst insults come from trying to recover from the first one.

Tiny makes a bold bet: she can win over a new fellow at the party by evening's end, despite her self-proclaimed man-hating ways. When her first attempts—playing the life of the party and appealing to his intellect—spectacularly backfire, she switches tactics with her "trump card" of sultry glamour, only to discover that playing helpless might just be the winning move after all. It's a lighthearted romp through the ups and downs of teenage romance and one girl's determination to prove her point, even if the methods get increasingly ridiculous along the way.
