{"product_id":"zippy-annual-2001-vol-2","title":"Zippy Annual 2001 (Vol. 2)","description":"\u003cp\u003e.html by Bill Griffith  Bill Griffiths Zippy the Pinhead is a pop culture icon. Born in underground comix  the surrealist character is now one of the most recognizable characters on the newspaper pages  and is currently in production as an animated series to debut on the Showtime Network in 2002. Syndicated since 1986 by King Features  ZIPPY is read in over 200  newspapers seven days a week. Zippys trademark non-sequitur  \"Are we having fun yet?\" has become so often-repeated that it is now in Bartletts Familiar Quotations. His likeness was graphittied on the former Berlin Wall  while Dan Akroyd is rumored to have created his Saturday Night Live characters  the Coneheads  after seeing Zippy for the first time. With Zippy Annual 2001 (a.k.a. \"Z2K1\")  all of Griffiths hilarious strips from 2000 and 2001 are collected into one place to guide us into the 21st Century. Millennium fever never seemed so  well  absurd. Frivolity is a stern taskmaster  and these brilliant  black-and-white dailies and color Sundays (Griffith is a master of color and the printing process of the newspaper page) spotlight Griffiths inimitably existential and surreal sense of humor. \"Bill Griffiths nationally syndicated Zippy continually stretches the intellectual bounds of the daily newspaper strip \" writes the San Francisco Examiner.  Plus  its damn funny.
