Zippy: Pointed Behavior

Bill Griffith’s long-running, single-issue series Zippy: Pointed Behavior (1984–present, Last Gasp) collects the surreal, deadpan humor of his iconic comic strip, starring the pinhead philosopher Zippy the Pinhead. Griffith, the sole writer and artist, uses this oversized format to explore his signature blend of pop-culture critique and absurdist dialogue, cementing the series as a key artifact of underground comix’s lasting influence.
