As a kid I always figured Zippy was some kind of grown up humor that only made sense to wiser adults. Turns out it was always just pure fever dream-grade insanity.
I'm not going to lie - I'm lost lol. No idea what just happened in that.
- Yes, exactly.
Holy shit, I haven't seen Zippy in decades. Wasn't it ran in National Lampoon or something?
- No, but a lot of alternative newspapers.
- Was in our local paper
I've heard of Zippy the Pinhead before. Are they all like this?
- Pretty much.
  
  Oh is Zippy based on a real person? I think I remember seeing a pic who had a head shaped like his. A birth defect?
...the hell did I just read?
