Zippy Stories [Paperback]

Bill Griffith (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Robin Williams calls Zippy "a word processor with dyslexia." And if that makes any sense to you, you'll love this book. If you've seen Zippy in the newspaper and can't make heads or tails of it, trust me. It reads better in large doses. This first Zippy book collects material from 1974 to 1985.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blast from the Zippy Archives, March 31, 2000

This review is from: Zippy Stories (Paperback)

This large trade paperback collection collects some of the earliest Zippy strips and brings us thru the mid-1980's. It's amazing, considering the topical nature of much of the material, how well this stuff holds up! But the originality of Bill Griffith's characters and their media-crazed obsessions are timeless...

(We also get to see Griffy's hairstyle dramatically transform!)

From my experience, I must add that Zippy is an addictive pleasure, so be careful...
