A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: TELL-TALE TESS


Tell-Tale Tess. The sneaky little girl Tess always told on others. Her annoying habit sure didn’t make her the most popular girl in Cortown and she often suffered at the hands of townsfolk whom she told on (or threatened to tell on) for or without a reason. Her main motive was to boss others around but occasionally she got rewarded for her information, for example when it helped catch a crook. The illustrator was Joe McCaffrey. Tell-Tale Tess ran from 7th November, 1970 until 22nd July, 1972 (Nos. 23 – 112) and missed two dates in 1971: 24th April and 22nd May (Nos. 47 and 51).

From COR!! issue dated 13th February, 1971 (No. 37)

From COR!! issue dated 11th March, 1972 (No. 93)
