Are We Having Fun Yet?

While strolling through Bushmiller country one day, I came across a copy of "Are We Having Fun Yet?" As I pondered the three rocks in Ernie's yard, I realized, in a Fruit-Loops-inspired deja-vu, that I had owned this book before, but it had vanished from my life, like a memory of Loni Anderson's hair. Where else can you find postmodern irony laced with Zen hot sauce, accompanied by a large helping of neo-dada ratatouille simmered in post-existential angst? Zippy will be your waiter this evening.

For awhile I just didn't get Zippy but once I did...this collection of Zippy comics is one of my all time favorites!

ZIPPY is THE most original and greatest comic in mainstream press today. It's art is fantastic; the writing sublime (and sometimes just plain stupid--but in a good way). Bill Griffith CARES about his craft. This comic is not out to just be "topical" or just deliver a daily "gag" (too many strips deliver gags--and not the good kind). ZIPPY is a comic about the love of cartooning and writing and observation. Try it--you maynot get it at first but if you stay with it it gets you!
