"Badger's Baby Brother -- Beastley" is written by Arnold Drake and drawn by Neal Adams. Now I've read the book, but I don't know who all these people are, so I'm a bit confused. I did find this on Wikipedia, which explained some of the characters:
Tadwallader Jutefruce is the meek and nerdy nephew of Bob Hope, and a student at Benedict Arnold High School (a school populated by Universal Horror-style monsters). Whenever he gets angry, mild-mannered Tadwallader turns into the super-powered Super-Hip. Super-Hip's outfit resembles a 1960s Carnaby Street Mod, complete with ruffled shirt, velvet jacket, and Chelsea boots (with winged ankles, similar to the Sub-Mariner). He also magically acquires an acoustic guitar. Tadwallader has no memory of his time as a superhero; the only one that knows of his secret identity is his pet dog, Harvard Harvard. Super-Hip's "battle-cry" was "Blech to Lawrence Welk!"Edited by Murray Boltinoff.
Super-Hip appeared regularly in The Adventures of Bob Hope from issue #95 until the title's final issue, #109 (February/March 1968). Super-Hip's sole non-Bob Hope appearance was in Doom Patrol vol. 1, #104 (June 1966), as a guest at the wedding of Elasti-Girl and Mento. The story was scripted by Arnold Drake.
For those who wondered what Neal Adams' humor work looked like, take a gander:
