Zippy's House of Fun

Bill Griffith's long-running, single-issue series Zippy's House of Fun (1995–present, Fantagraphics) is a concentrated dose of his signature absurdist humor, centering on the pinhead philosopher Zippy and his surreal, pop-culture-obsessed world. As Griffith's primary vehicle for his distinctive, deadpan cartooning and satirical commentary, this issue stands as a key artifact of his decades-long exploration of American kitsch and existential ennui.
