Zippy for President

Bill Griffith’s Zippy for President is a single-issue comic from 1984, published by Volksverlag, that captures the absurdist political satire of the era through his signature character, Zippy the Pinhead. Griffith, the sole writer and artist, uses this one-shot to skewer American electoral politics with his trademark surreal, deadpan humor. Though brief, it stands as a sharp, standalone artifact of Griffith’s long-running Zippy universe, offering a pointedly silly take on presidential campaigns that remains a cult curiosity for fans of underground comix.
