Early Days of the Great Pinhead,
By
This review is from: Zippy: Nation of Pinheads (Paperback)
This collection of strips from the early '80's is classic Zippy, the non-sequitors flying madly as Bill Griffith's keen satire lays waste to our consumer culture (while reveling in it!).This is an excellent introduction to "Life According to Zippy" - I found myself at first not knowing what to make of Griffith's nonsense, but after a few pages... It makes complete sense! And then, you're hooked! I've since collected virtually all of the Zippy collections. Let a little Zippy into your life - You'll be glad you did!

Better than Bizzarro, me think,

This review is from: Zippy: Nation of Pinheads (Paperback)
It's difficult to believe that Bill Griffith had such magnificent vision. This volume is nearly twenty five years old, but it belongs in every real man's library.
In "Zippy: Nation of Pinheads" Griffith offers plausible explanations and observations concerning American greed, culture, far beyond fear and loathing: How vast herds of Nauga were reduced to a few thousand head, bringing this twentieth century marketing invention to near extinction. How legions of evil smurfs have systematically perverted the nature of our culture for years. How war in the Persian Gulf brought feelings of lethargy and inadequacy to a man who the author describes as "A Failed Gary Cooper type". Why Lonnie Anderson always looked like she was wearing some sort of crazy hat. This important peice of literature will retain its place in libraries and the very fabric of our culture for years to come, I hope and I pray. I am over the age of 13. Yow!
