This is one of the funniest things I have read in a long long looooong time.
It starts like this:
A while back, Tom Wilson, drawer of the “Ziggy” comic strip, was coming to a local bookstore to sign autographs. I was itching to know what made this guy tick. If you’ve read much “Ziggy” at all, you’ve probably come to the conclusion that its creator is at least a little senile. I drove over to the bookstore and stood in line, not to get a comic strip signed by him, but just to stand there and, just for one second, look him in the eye.
The essay made me laugh out loud.
I love the Internet. People devote entire posts to deconstructing Ziggy. This guy is ANGRY about Ziggy. It’s so damn funny. Read the whole thing.
i definitely thought at first he was talking about “zippy”, which totally screwed me up.
Oh my God, that is just fucking hilarious.

I love how he got an elevator expert to comment on how unrealistic the cartoon-elevator was. hahaha
