there seems to be a page missing. The second page in the 'trouble for Tommy' story.
Always a fan of the work of Samm Schwartz.

I assume this is the same artist who did Archie comics in the 50s and 60s? The style is very similar. Tippy looks very much like Betty and some of the other characters are also similar. Very distinctive style.

Yes Samm Schwartz was one of the main Archie artists, both earlier and later. He was responsible for fleshing out the character of Jughead, who then got his own book.
[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, starting with publisher Harry Shorten (There Oughta Be a Law!), who'd been involved with the carrot-topped teen back in his very early days at MLJ Comics.
Shorten hired Samm Schwartz, who has extensive credits on Archie's Pal Jughead, to put together the new character set and edit it once it was running. Schwartz's other credits include Tower's U.N.D.E.R.S.E.A. Agent. Other Archie creators involved include Dan DeCarlo (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and Bob White (Cosmo the Merry Martian). Also, several of Tippy's friends were strongly reminiscent of certain Archie supporting characters.]

I read these books back in the day, although I can't remember actually buying them!
I have always loved Samm's art. So expressive!

Thanks for that, Australian Panther. I had a quick look at a couple of the Tippy Teen comics and will have to have a more through look. Thanks for the other tips too. I'll look them up. I don't remember any other teen comics in Australia except for Archie and the gang, and their offshoots. I've also had a look at Jetta, which I think is the same artist. So many comics to explore.

Jetta was by Dan DeCarlo
