Zippy: Ding Dong Daddy (Zippy the Pinhead)
“No other strip challenges the reader in such a smart way.” (Time)“In two decades, Bill Griffith’sZippy the Pinheadhas been transformed from a one-shot gag into the idiot savant of our whirling consumer culture... Griffy’s tirades against advertising, truckers’ caps, and Bruce Springsteen are hilarious, but he’d be just another elitist snotball without Zippy’s cut-and-paste giddiness. Together they’re irresistible: the good cop/bad cop of surrealist social criticism... Zippy’s not the biggest fool this country has — we elect those — but he is our best.” (Entertainment Weekly)
