Candy and Jonesy and Go-Go and Animal


Jonesy 4, Go-Go 1 'Your half comes to...'

When Jack Mendelsohn reused old scripts as a writer for Tippy Teen and her friends Go-Go and Animal at Tower, he reused his own from Quality in the Fifties—not only for Candy but for the shorter-lived Jonesy.

Go-Go and Animal 3 seems a good place to stop, as so far I haven't seen any such reruns in #4.

  1. Thank you. I love those Go-Go books but couldn't quite put my finger on why they are so "huh?"

  2. BK, the folly of youth meant I never saw the Tippy and Go-Go books until a couple of years ago, even though I read the other Tower titles in the late Sixties (coverless at first). They are good, aren't they?
