	Zippy the Pinhead
		Zippy the Pinhead is the main character in the comic strip of the same name, created by Bill Griffith.
		Zippy's original appearance was partly inspired by several microcephalics, including Schlitzie, from the film Freaks (which was enjoying something of a cult revival at the time), and P.T. Barnum's sideshow performer, Zip the Pinhead (who was not a microcephalic, but was nevertheless billed as one)[3].
		Zippy always wears a yellow muumuu with large red spots, and clown shoes.

	On the Media
		Zippy became a daily strip in 1985 at the urging of the San Francisco Examiner which would be the first of 200-some papers attracted to the strip's satirical skewering of society, especially the consumer society.
		To those who recognize the metaphoric fullness of his projected personality, Zippy is an embodiment of the nostalgic zeitgeist of Americans befuddled by post-Modernist obscurantism." And, you know, and of, of course I, I've always said the same thing.
		BOB GARFIELD: Bill Griffith is the author of Zippy the Pinhead appearing daily in newspapers around the country, albeit not the San Francisco Chronicle.

		One follows the high drama when Zippy's own favorite (fictional) comic strip, "Nimrod," is dropped from his daily newspaper, a thinly disguised parody of what happened when one of Zippy's papers tried (and failed) to drop Griffith's strip.
		Zippy is the ultimate amalgamation of the insane, the absurd and the hilarious.
		Zippy is the court jester of the 20th century.

	TIME.com Print Page: -- Are We Having Art Yet?
		A reader poll had shown Bill Griffith's "Zippy the Pinhead" to be unpopular despite having first appeared as a daily in San Francisco over fifteen years ago.
		Having his brain squeezed into such a tiny space grants Zippy a kind of American culture satori — he exists entirely in the moment — instantly obsessed with whatever trend or object passes in front of him.
		Ironically "Zippy" suffers newspaper reader's ire not because of its poor quality but because of the poor quality of the strips around it.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Zippy the Pinhead
		Zippy the Pinhead is one of the few "underground" comic book characters to make it in the "aboveground" media.
		Or it may simply be that his unique brand of personally-detached non-sequiturs (Zippy was the first to use the expression "Are we having fun yet?") struck a responsive chord with the public.
		Zippy appeared from time to time in comix published by Print Mint, Last Gasp, Rip Off Press, and other alternative outfits, until 1976, when he entered regular publication.

		Subscribers to newspapers that run Zippy the Pinhead should be grateful for just how wonderful their world is. Every day they can open up the funnies and among formulaic strips read about a freak (of the Tod Browning variety) in a muu-muu who helps us comprehend our pop culture—soaked world in a most postmodern way.
		Zippy and Griffith's cartoon alter—ego, Griffy, explain the philosophy of the strip, declaring that the boundary between high and low art shall not be observed and the absurd in life will be appreciated to the fullest.
		Before she and several sisters are expelled, both Zippy and Griffy have to morph into handsome love interests.
