☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Big Show," Bill Griffith's surreal humor takes a sharp turn into political satire as Zippy is invited to the White House by Ronald Reagan, who offers him the vice-presidential slot—only for Zippy’s manager to have other plans. With Griffith handling every aspect of the art, inking, and lettering, the story unfolds in his signature offbeat style, blending absurdity with a wink at the era’s political landscape.
In a delightfully absurd twist from *National Lampoon Magazine* #72, Zippy finds himself at the White House when Ronald Reagan offers him the vice-presidential spot—only for his manager to have a far more ambitious plan. Now caught between a surprising offer and an even more unexpected campaign, Zippy’s path to political stardom takes a turn no one saw coming.
In a quiet apartment building, a couple’s constant bickering finally pushes their downstairs neighbor to the edge—until Politenessman steps in with a plan. He advises the tenant to wait for the perfect moment to deliver a long-overdue confrontation.
In this absurdist gem from National Lampoon Magazine #72, a bewildered reporter stumbles through a surreal news segment as a massive spaceship descends into the sky—only to be interrupted by a jarring ad break. The moment the commercial ends, the focus shifts to the ship itself, quietly shadowing Aunt Mary as she walks home from the store.
