# John Tippet — The Land That Time Forgot character guide

> John Tippet in The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Tippet, the Englishman, poor Tippet

**First appearance:** 0001-i

## Snapshot

An Englishman of the stranded party whose calm marksmanship saves Bradley from a bear and whose understatement survives every horror Caspak offers.

## Who they are

Tippet is the sort of man who puts a bullet through a bear's ear and then apologizes for the wasted ammunition. He marches with Bradley's party through jungles thick with club-men, hatchet-men, and worse, meeting each new grotesque with the same dry composure. His steadiness is the quiet counterweight to Bradley's temper, and his presence keeps the expedition's morale from collapsing into the landscape.
