DESCRIPTION:
Travel to the "Neon Boneyard," P.T. Are we having a searchable database yet? Includes an informative "Pindex" of comments and notations from behind the scenes at Zippy Central. Barnum's sideshow, Japan, Levittown, and the early 1900s. 90 pages of black-and-white and 24 pages of color comic strips. Most notably, there's a gaggle of politically incorrect strips featuring Zippy & Griffy's take on the Iraq War, including several satirical potshots at New World Order strategists Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. Zippy's ongoing love affair with Brand X America, in all its faded roadside glory, takes him to the "Neon Boneyard," Barnum's sideshow, Japan, Levittown, and the early 1900s. Plus a politically incorrect take on the Iraq War. Everyone's favorite wise guy with the conical pate is back! Zippy Annual 2003 collects approximately a year's worth of strips (October 2002-October 2003), including full-color Sundays, and spotlights Zippy's ongoing love affair with "Brand X" America in all its faded roadside glory

"Whew," say all devotees of the ongoing critique of America's love affair with publicity that is Griffith's great strip. Zippy admires Coney, but his coast-to-coast joyride ("Jack Kerouac is a stern taskmaster") in search of big stuff and barely digestible sustenance cannot be curtailed.
